Julie Campiche Quartet

— As part of the Jazz Sur Seine festival

Julie Campiche's artistic language is an ongoing process that combines her reflections on the world with musical innovation. She reinvents the harp, developing a unique sound through exploration of improvisation, classical music, and electronics, resulting in rich music that flirts with the experimental.

Her quartet has put Swiss avant-garde jazz on the international map. The national press describes it as " One of the most exciting jazz bands in Switzerland. This is jazz of the European top class. " while the international press hails their innovation " This is the music of the future performed here and now. ".

These four companions have been on the road throughout Europe for nine years. Their great complicity blossoms in their music, in which the ensemble is greater than the sum of it's parts. With a balance of great finesse, they push their limits to deepen their sound universe.

They create a music where the electronic effects of each instrument are intertwined in delicate yet powerful acoustic space, balancing structured passages with open improvisations. This uncluttered ‘electro-acoustical’ experience leaves room and scope for a wide range of exciting possibilities.
