In this third repertoire and album, the Franco-Belgian trio of saxophonist Manuel Hermia, cellist Valentin Ceccaldi and drummer Sylvain Darrifourcq continue in the vein that has made their reputation in Europe: the wild energy and astonishing intensity displayed by the three musicians, always at the service of a particular temporal experience. New avenues are explored, however, alternating long trance tracks with patchworks of frantic zapping.
This concert will mark the official release of their new album, a first before a tour that will take them to France and Germany in the following days.
The energetic potential of instrumentation is used to its fullest: from a minimalist and noisy friction of the bow to a sound typhoon, the trio explores these extreme fields with the same eagerness. The new tones created by the sound objects of Sylvain Darrifourcq resonate perfectly with the creative cello of Valentin Ceccaldi: melodic, harmonic and percussive, all at once. Manuel Hermia exerts a powerful lyricism to this mechanical thread reaching a cathartic outburst.
