Kumquat + Twits le 10 dec au baloard

Dans le cadre des journées Jazz'LR : Kumquat+twits au balord

Kumquat (Paris):La musique du quartet "Kumquat" est raffiné et surprenant !

Toujours sur le fil du rasoir entre jeu et préméditation ou, sil’on préfère, composition spontanée et libre improvisation......une musique qui allie la finesse liée au solide bagage technique et une tentation pour les sons
rudes et bruts venus du rock et des musiques actuelles.


Sylvain CHOINIER – Guitare électrique, larsen et compositions
Julien BLOIT– Batterie, pied de lampe et barbe
Clément LEBRUN – Basse électro-acoustique, ongles et corde cassée
Raphael QUENEHEN – Saxophones (soprani en sib et ut, baryton),sirène Acme et flûtine

en écoute sur : www.myspace/jazzovale


Twits (Montpellier):Twits met en jeu une matière turbulente et précaire. L’approche se veut « maximaliste », tendue… Une masse en mouvement avec déflagration et jaillissement compris… Bref, du free jazz convulsif à la noise émue.
Dans les marges donc, dans la périphérie du bien joué, du techniquement imparable, de l’agréable, pour voir naître une insurrection sonore qui vaudrait la peine d’être vécue, quelque chose de vif, dans l’écart, le jeu, la menace dans un éclat de rire, la déflagration.

Aurelien Besnard – Clarinette
Julien Mauri– Batterie
Marc Siffert– Basse électrique
Jonathan Fenez– Tourne disque
