about

Ces deux musiciens ont indéniablement un réel plaisir à jouer ensemble et une symbiose quasi télépathique lors d’improvisations spontanées et hypnotiques. Influencés par l’Afrique, le Brésil et l’Inde, ils créent ainsi des pièces aux grooves contagieux aussi bien que des paysages sonores oniriques.

Le duo utilise un grand éventail d'instruments tel que la guitare 8 cordes, le cuatro et le bouzouki du côté des cordes, ainsi que le cajon, les tambours sur cadre (Bodhran, Kanjira, Riqq…), le udu et des petites percussions, le tout agrémenté d’effets et de vocalises hypnotiques judicieusement utilisés.

Thomas et Patrick nous proposent, avec ce nouveau disque, une musique sans barrière ni oeillère qui fait le pont entre les cultures et les styles musicaux, où les musiques du monde se mêlent aux musiques électroniques; un espace de liberté où tout est possible, un voyage expérimental où la résonance de chaque son prend tout son sens.

Thomas and Patrick share an almost telepathic rapport, blending spontaneous improvisation, electronic looping, Brazilian and Indian musical influences, to create both ecstatic groove pieces and dream-like soundscapes.

The duo uses an array of instruments, including custom 8-string guitar, cuatro, bouzouki, cajon, frame drums, berimbau, udu and metal percussion that are augmented by hypnotic vocals, samplers and laptop.
