Come and share an unexpected musical moment. Dive into another dimension with the astonishing sounds of the handpan, gong, English horn, xaphoon and voice. Improvisations will spark in the art gallery at the rhythm of the musicians’ inspirations.
Val
Voice, gong and other instruments
Voice is her enchantement. It is like a mysterious and unpredictable river that comes out of nowhere, flows through her and runs far beyond.
« Listen to the river, jump in the river and let it carry you away. Everything can hapen… »
Intuitive instruments enrich her sound journey.
Nicolas
English horn, xaphoon, voice
Some blow glass; Nicolas blows dreams.
Sometimes he is also a snake charmer; he hypnotizes you with his English horn and his xaphoon and takes you to unknow countries made of waves and curves. Time stretches and slowly disappears.
He also likes to « listen to his voice ».
Jeannot
Handpan and other percussions
Jeannot plays many instruments and is fascinated by rhythms and melodies.
He is a sound goldsmith.
In 2016, he discovered a « vibrating sculpture » with captivating sounds: the handpan. Since then he hammers, he chisels, he caresses and he « sound travels », meeting and sharing with a wider audience.
Recording: « L’étincelle »
Introducing the only written piece of the evening: « L’étincelle ».
We have made a studio recording of our poetic and meditative sound journey of 11:15 mn and we are incredibly happy to share it with you during this evening.
To be discovered in preview exclusively at the gallery
