Unicorn And Flexibility

Description

Darrifourcq / Hermia / Ceccaldi is a Franco-Belgian trio of "brutal jazz" formed in 2012 by drummer Sylvain Darrifourcq, saxophonist Manuel Hermia, and cellist Valentin Ceccaldi. United around a certain idea of free jazz, with improvisation serving narration and temporal elasticity, the three musicians enrich their compositions with everything that allows them to explore the extreme dynamics of music: free jazz, rock, noise, contemporary music, and world music serve as pretexts for the singular and enthusiastic expression of a universe where minimalist and still landscapes meet the most violent sonic hurricanes. Today, with UNICORN AND FLEXIBILITY, the trio delves even deeper into the groove that has made them renowned in Europe: the wild energy and astonishing intensity displayed by the three musicians are still dedicated to a particular temporal experience, marked more than ever by rhythmic breaks. Slow developments are interrupted by abrupt changes in timing, tempo, and sound material.
