DETOUR, recorded in 2008 is one hour non stop music built around four main pieces composed between 2003 and 2008: Trio’ze (Trio), Sofia Buenos-Aires (Duo), Five Four Tango (Quartet) and Ardhana Kâlî (Quartet). In order to achieve a continuously flow of music each main piece is link to the other by a “Conduit”, a short solo piece blending the musical materials and creating a bridge between two musical continents.
This program is the reflection of my imagination of music from different cultures and parts of the world: south America, eastern Europe, India etc. without forgetting my own western European musical culture.
My deepest and sincere thanks to Jérome Simonpoli, Christophe Geiller and Emmanuel Ferran for their talent and their constant support. This CD is dedicated to them.
