Captivate

Description

This trio is about 20 years old; we’re not sure and we don’t want to know, there’s no birth certificate. It’s like an obvious familiarity and instant sonic trust. Between us, every musical intention is heard and taken into account. Melodies intertwine, rhythms and playing styles respond to each other, flexibly, with freedom. Of course, we can change, according to our mood, according to our desire, and we don’t hold back. Among friends, we arrange, we rearrange the pieces, we break them and piece them back together, we exaggerate and we love it. The important thing is the intensity of the moment, the pleasure of surprise, the emotion of playing, the sound, the one we draw from the instruments that envelops us. That’s why we use electronic effects, digital, computer, audio digital: for the enveloping. Knead the dough, and stretch it towards the unheard. Surpass the instrument through jubilation. Intensify the sensation of being. Playing is celebrating the absence of paradise. Yves Robert
