H L Ne Duret Synestet

16:45 - 18:00

When Franco-Belgian quintet Synestet perform, their music confounds the senses, and manifests as a mélange of colors, smells, shapes, and textures. These five musicians, enamored with improvisation and exhibiting a playful exuberance, color between the lines to form a cohesive, improvised soundscape. This new juncture in the group’s trajectory, initiated by clarinetist Hélène Duret, offers a sonic exploration which extols both the virtues of simplicity and inventiveness, and evokes the spirit of Ornette Coleman, Jimmy Giuffre, Duke Ellington, Jakob Bro, Timber Timbre.

NINO_UNCUT

20:15 - 21:30

‘Pills and Water’ is the first solo project by artist nino_uncut aka François Vaiana. From a rave over a gospel church to a jazz club, this work explores the artist’s vast musical territory in just a few songs. It takes us on a journey through a world of poppy metaphors, references to the 90s and cinematic atmospheres. For the artist, Pills and Water is conceived as a catharsis.
