Kham Meslien Solo at 38 Riv

Arid landscapes, bathed in light, where matter calms down... If Kham Meslien's compositions evoke wide open spaces, it is because the musician borrows the narrative power of the double bass and the warmth of catchy melodies. Accompanied by a looper and effects, a charango and percussion, he explores the sounds of his instrument, layering loops and improvisations, evoking the early solo records of Henri Texier or pianist Nils Frahm. You have to let yourself be carried away to gradually realize the obvious: life is all about time and vibrations.As part of the JAZZ SUR SEINE 2025 Festival.

Des paysages arides, baignés de lumière, où la matière s’apaise… Si les compositions de Kham Meslien évoquent les grands espaces, c’est que le musicien emprunte la puissance narrative de la contrebasse et la chaleur des mélodies accrocheuses. Accompagné d’un looper et d’effets, d’un charango et de percussions, il explore les sonorités de son instrument, superpose les boucles et les improvisations, évoquant les premiers disques solo d’Henri Texier ou encore le pianiste Nils Frahm. Il faut se laisser embarquer, pour s’apercevoir peu à peu de l’évidence : la vie n’est qu’une affaire de temps et de vibrations.Dans le cadre du Festival JAZZ SUR SEINE 2025.
