The shared desire was, from the outset, to make music inspired by rock but with a grammar of contemporary music, electroacoustic music, inventive music. To keep the precious things we have learned and loved through contemporary music while reinjecting them into a different way of composing, playing, improvising - a more collective, hands-on approach, writing always in the service of a meta-instrument that the group would be - so that, at the moment of performance, we are tuned to the same modes. But the rock side is also a sound, distorted as desired, a pleasure in metallic textures, a pleasure too in amplified structures, insistent pulses, a spectrum sometimes full as an egg, energy and breadth of sound/gesture. The other side is millimetric adjustments, attention to detail, the desire to phrase, an almost pathological tendency to think in terms of “dramaturgy,” of managing energies and musical breath. We compose “pieces” - that is, multifaceted objects that must be re-explored each time - with a view to building a tailor-made repertoire that highlights each person’s qualities as much as possible in the service of a universe we all implicitly defend.
