Loneliness within saturated urban spaces is the cruel paradox that VOWSKI strives to portray through music, like a kind of modern melancholy. Following in the footsteps of artists such as Boards of Canada, Sigur RĂłs, and Josh Johnson, the band cultivates an aesthetic that is both contemplative and powerful. The original music of this project is inseparable from its striking urban visual universe. It evokes our contemporary world, the chaos and anger that reign there, but also its energy and the desire to share. Each sound, each texture, is integrated into an overall narrative whose off-stage dimension plunges the viewer into an immersive experience. At the heart of this project, four musicians fully embody this sensitive and committed aesthetic. On keyboards, Nathan Mollet shapes profound soundscapes, playing on electronic textures as well as silences. Pierre Thiot's alto saxophone, combined with his effects treatments, shakes up the sound, injecting breath and tension into each phrase. On bass, Viktor Raynaud explores the limits of groove, providing a dense and shifting foundation, while Simon Jodlowski, on drums and electronic pads, creates a constantly changing rhythm, somewhere between physical striking and sound sculpture....

La solitude au sein d’espaces urbains saturés, voilà le cruel paradoxe que VOWSKI s’efforce dedépeindre en musique, tel une sorte de spleen moderne. S’inscrivant dans la lignée d’artistestels que Boards of Canada, Sigur Rós ou encore Josh Johnson, le groupe cultive une esthétiqueà la fois contemplative et puissante. La musique originale de ce projet est indissociable de sonunivers visuel urbain saisissant. Elle évoque notre monde contemporain, le chaos et la colèrequi y règnent, mais aussi son énergie et le désir de partage. Chaque son, chaque textures’intègre dans une narration globale dont la dimension extra-scénique plonge le spectateurdans une expérience immersive.Au cœur de ce projet, quatre musiciens incarnent pleinement cette esthétique sensible et engagée. Aux claviers, Nathan Mollet façonne des paysages sonores profonds, jouant sur les textures électroniques comme sur les silences. Le saxophone alto de Pierre Thiot, combiné à ses traitements d’effets, vient bousculer la matière sonore, injectant souffle et tension dans chaque phrase. À la basse, Viktor Raynaud explore les limites du groove, apportant un socle dense et mouvant, tandis que Simon Jodlowski, à la batterie et aux pads électroniques, dessine un rythme en constante mutation, entre frappe physique et sculpture du son.
