"Biome aims to reflect an idea and musical concern that has been mine for several years now: bringing works together, giving them a common strength, creating a homogeneous listening atmosphere around sound, playing, letting go, and highlighting the intrinsic links that exist between the pieces. Because that is what interests me: creating real or imagined associations between works in order to bring them together. Through these connections, each piece takes on meaning as part of an equation and acquires a new depth. The three aesthetics present in this album, which at first glance might seem separate, are in fact only parts of the same idea, the same sphere, in a word: a biome."

"Biome se veut le reflet d’une idée et préoccupation musicale qui est mienne depuis maintenant plusieurs années : rapprocher les œuvres, leur donner une force commune, créer une atmosphère homogène d’écoute autour du son, du jeu, du lâcher prise, et mettre en valeur les liens intrinsèques qui existent entre les pièces. Car c’est bien cela qui m’intéresse : créer des associations réelles ou rêvées entre les oeuvres pour les réunir. Par ces mises en relations, chaque morceau prend son sens comme faisant partie d’une équation, et acquiert une nouvelle profondeur. Les trois esthétiques présentes dans ce disque, qui a priori pourraient sembler séparées, ne sont en fait que des parties d’une même idée, d’une même sphère, en un mot : d’un biome." Benjamin GarsonDans le cadre du Festival JAZZ SUR SEINE 2025.JAZZICS — Jazz meets classicalLe 38Riv célèbre le dialogue entre jazz et musiques classiques. Relecture des grands répertoires, rencontres d’instruments venus d’époques différentes, improvisations libres : un rendez-vous où les frontières s’effacent au profit d’un langage commun.Pensée en hommage à Vincent Charbonnier, fondateur du 38Riv et contrebassiste passionné, cette programmation s’inscrit dans l’esprit du « Play Bach » de Jacques Loussier : curieuse, inventive, libre.
