Alpha Cassiopeiae is the brightest star in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is also an instrumental nu-jazz duo from Lyon, which after having opened for Tigran Hamasyan, GoGo Penguin, and Chassol in France, unveils its first album, Shadows. Designed as a succession of cinematic sequences, the album traces inner trajectories between tension and contemplation. Without explicit narration, each track suggests immersive soundscapes. The musical and visual universe of the project is inspired by the aerospace imagery of the 70s. On stage, the duo extends this aesthetic through outfits that enhance immersion. The release of Shadows will be accompanied by several concerts, including opening acts for Emile Londonien, international dates, and a release party at Les Étoiles in Paris, and at Le Périscope in Lyon.
