Mathias Lévy « Chant Song »

Chant Song, Mathias Lévy's upcoming album, is a constant dialogue, a perpetual quest for balance and meaning between the voice and stringed instruments, the breath of song and that of the accordion, the words of poets such as Prévert and Cendrars, and the joy of collective improvisation and freedom... With Chant Song, Mathias Lévy puts melody at the heart of his creation. Fascinated by their apparent simplicity, their emotional charge, the way they belong to the collective memory and are like a soundtrack to our lives, he creates a new repertoire to honor these melodies. Connecting emotions and sound, successfully telling a story through improvisation and natural understanding: this is the violinist's ultimate melodic quest. To achieve this, he brings together his long-time companions Sébastien Giniaux, Jean Philippe Viret, and Laurent Derache, as well as singer Lou Tavano, integrating vocals into his music for the first time.
