After a solid classical and contemporary flute training, Emilie Calmé also studied bansuri in Bombay with Indian flutist Hariprasaad Chaurasia, a rich experience that strongly influenced her in playing and composition, but for the first time. album "flute poetry", accompanied by musicians of the most inspiring of the moment, she chooses to revisit standards.To appropriate a work, to dig the finesse is an artistic process in its own right that requires rigor and passion common to this 4tet. From Coltrane's ballads to Bud Powell's bop melodies, from Tony Murena's waltzes to Alain Jean-Marie's biguines, each piece tells the flute a story between the real and the imaginary in a totally dreamlike world.

Après une solide formation en flûte classique et contemporaine, Emilie Calmé a également étudié le bansuri à Bombay avec le flûtiste indien Hariprasaad Chaurasia. C'est une expérience riche qui l'a influencée fortement dans le jeu et la composition, mais pour ce 1er album "flûte poésie", accompagnée de musiciens des plus inspirants du moment, elle choisi de revisiter des standards. S'approprier une oeuvre, en creuser les finesse est une démarche artistique à part entière qui demande rigueur et passion communes à ce Quartet . Des ballades de Coltrane aux mélodies bop de Bud Powell, des valses de Tony Murena aux biguines d'Alain Jean-Marie, chaque morceau raconte à la flûte une histoire entre réel et imaginaire dans un univers totalement onirique.
