Thomas Julienne - Watt

Trained bassist, composer, arranger… but above all eclectic and curious musician, the musical interests of Thomas Julienne are numerous: he is interested in classical music as well as Arab music, rock and electronic music...

With WATT, Guilhem André, Sébastien Lovato, Julien Augier and Thomas Julienne propose a modern jazz, so the writing of its new repertoire has been largely influenced by the complicated period we are currently going through.

The musicians evolve in a universe where the acoustic sound of a classic jazz quartet (double bass, drums, keyboards, saxophone) is mixed with a more rocky touch coming straight from the 1970s with a big keyboard, supported by a hybrid saxophone combining natural and modified sounds.

Undeniably, Guilhem André's compositions are modern, acidulous, lyrical and articulated around a rhythmic that gives all its place to play with "Time".
