Biography:

Member of several groups in the nineties (including Etienne Brunet’s Zig Rag Orchestra from 1993 to 1997). In 1994 he founded Trace label with Patrick Müller and Guillaume Loizillon on which he edited 4 solo albums: his work is based essentially on the relationship between music and cinema, notably Cinéphilie & Cinéphilie 2, a series of tributes to film-makers he admires (Satyajit Ray, Fritz Lang, David Lynch, Atom Egoyan, F.W. Murnau, Jack Arnold, Mikio Naruse, Jim Jarmusch, Tod Browning, etc.). These were subsequently presented in the form of cine-concerts, notably at the Théâtre de l’Echangeur and the Forum des Images (in the context of the “Nemo” festival).
It was for Cinéphilie (2000) that he met Pascal Frament who, for this, directed (re)editions of original films on video. For Cinéphilie 2 (2005), 8 videographers created original visual material.
Laurent Saïet, intrigued by the work of Chris Marker on memory and time, decided to look for a musical equivalent and suggested to videographers Sylvain Bélot, Gilbert Carsoux and Pascal Frament that they each work from his music on an experimental film inspired mainly by Marker’s best-known work: La jetée (1962).
In this project, where the music pre-exists the visual material, he also collaborated with Patrick Müller who mixed and did the spatial organisation of the music in 5.1 for the first presentations of the project in France (Instants Chavirés, Montreuil; Radio Libertaire Festival in cinema “La clef”, Paris; Les Jeudis Noirs, Paris; Les Instants Vidéo Festival, Marseille ; Flexiff Festival, Sydney).
L. Saïet had composed for the films of Frédéric Cousseau, Stéphane Olijnyk & Blaise D'Haese.

« Stimulant, créatif, imaginatif, puissant. Bravo pour ce créateur qui se maintient un coche plus haute que la majorité » Radio Canada Montréal (2001)
« Un magnifique album en hommage aux grands du cinéma » Radio Le Caire (Egypt) (2001)
« It’s great, once again. This winter is going to be perfect ! » E.R.A. (Greece) (2001)
“Très beau et très intéressant. Avec cet album, c’est le cinéma à la radio » Radio Liban Beyrouth (2001)

« Les 13 morceaux possèdent une qualité narrative qui fait penser aux films des auteurs à qui Saïet rend hommage tout en proposant une lecture renouvelée des films, une autre manière de les comprendre. Dans sa démarche, ce disque n’est pas sans rapport avec la manière des articles inspirés du « Ciné-journal » de Serge Daney. Ce dernier proposait une analyse étonnante et décalée d’un film ou de son auteur. Pour ses bande-sons imaginaires, L.S. a multiplié les influences : américaines, asiatiques et européennes. Le disque possède une unité, acoustique et électronique, qui fait que l’écoute globale semble nous proposer une autre histoire du cinéma, comme dans un long travelling, un plan-séquence à travers les âges, les lieux, les décors et les films. En réinterprétant les films de manière totalement subjective, L.S. nous donne à entendre quelque chose qui, paradoxalement, colle plus encore au sujet traité. C’est donc en nous éloignant de l’objet évoqué qu’il nous en fait toucher plus encore la réalité et rend plus tangibles la force et l’originalité de ces cinéastes. » Octopus (2001)

"BLUE TRIP"
« Retracer, par le prisme d'une syntaxe musicale librement inspirée du blues, l'itinéraire d'un roadmovie virtuel, faisant étape dans quelques hauts lieux de l'Amérique profonde, telle est la gageure que tente de relever cet album. A la fois belle et rebelle, témoignée et fantasmée, c'est cette Amérique romanesque que loue Saïet en une dizaine de vignettes sonores. {...} De la contemplation de sites naturels grandioses aux complaintes troublantes héritées de la ségrégation raciale, c'est le souffle épique traversant ces divers symboles que véhicule ainsi ce Blue Trip. Doté d'une force émotive immédiatement palpable, cet album a été conçu tel un carnet de voyages intime. Partant de samples de bluesmen mythiques (Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker...) en contrepoint desquels se dessinent les circonvolutions tantôt lancinantes tantôt planantes d'une guitare aussi sinueuse qu'expressive, Saïet délivre un script sonore captivant soutenu par une musicalité sans faille, ainsi que par un sens aiguisé du détail et de la narration. Mais derrière cette orgie de "slides" en apesanteur, derrière ce délicat maillage de cordes électriques, percent de discrets motifs électroniques (à base de boucles, clavier, «electrosonic»…) servant idéalement la cause climatique du projet. Du début du parcours, à l'aéroport de Memphis à son terme, en plein désert de Mojave, voici une oeuvre déambulatoire qui flattera sans difficultés nos sombres instincts d'hédonistes nomades. » Philippe Doussot – Octopus (2005)

"Instant T : a tribute to Chris MARKER"

"Sound sources are mainly drawn from “contemporary” music and contemporary film music from La jetée: samples re-edited, modified, stretched or slowed down on computer, and reconstituted in compositions focused on “ambient” where these sources are mixed with instrumental play as well as electronic tools (theremin, VCS3, etc.).
In this way, Laurent Saïet and Patrick Müller have attempted to rediscover a climate of sound and emotions initiated by the multiple visions of the original film and to contrast them with new images also inspired by La jetée in a “work in progress” where several sensitivities meet :
3 videographers/cineastes, linked by the same time-related problems, take inspiration from themes and/or visual motifs in La jetée to create 3 variants distinct by their form, (video imagery, still shots, fictional images) the only constraint for which is the temporal:
> T1: directed by the videographer Pascal Frament in black and white, then video-edited in a purified graphic aesthetic and with a continuously slowed rhythm giving an impression of weightlessness and suspended time.
> T2: directed by the photographer Sylvain Bélot from stills which are superimposed and which dissolve successively one into the other creating imaginary geographies of spaces void of human presence.
> T3: directed by the cineaste Gilbert Carsoux in a raw black and white recalling that of La jetée, in which a character takes part in a fictional scenario leading to the key site of Marker’s film" Flexiff festival (2011)
