Antonin Pauquet — Brumes at 38 Riv

At the confluence of jazz and traditional French music, Brumes invites us to travel to the frontier of the imaginations specific to these aesthetics.From the foothills of the Massif Central to fictitious territories, an original repertoire unfolds, with the melodies that still resonate in central France as its focal point.

From this unique sonic space emerges an intense sensation of vitality and freedom. With respect and imagination, this acoustic quintet draws its inspiration from the music of John Zorn, Dave Holland and Jacky Molard....

À la confluence du jazz et des musiques traditionnelles françaises, Brumes invite à voyager à la frontière des imaginaires propres à ces esthétiques.Des contreforts du Massif central, en passant par des territoires fictifs, un répertoire original se déroule, avec comme point focal les mélodies qui résonnent encore au centre de la France. Musiques à danser, ces thèmes évoquent les scottishes, mazurkas et bourrées dansées par les anciens.Unis dans une même recherche autour du rythme, propre tant aux musiques improvisées qu’à la danse, mêlant collectages et compositions d’Antonin Pauquet dans un même souffle créatif, la contrebasse, la batterie, la flûte et les saxophones énoncent une pulsation implacable. De cet espace sonore unique se dégage une intense sensation de vitalité et de liberté. Avec respect et fantaisie, ce quintet acoustique puise ses inspirations dans les musiques de John Zorn, Dave Holland ou encore Jacky Molard.
