OBRADOVIĆ-TIXIER DUO

THE ELECTRIFYING DUO AND ITS COMMUNICATIVE ENERGY

The "Obradović - Tixier duo," comprised of French pianist David Tixier and Croatian drummer Lada Obradović, has rapidly risen to prominence, amassing a dozen awards these last few years.  Cue the piano, drums, keyboards, loops, and sound effects…before Lada Obradović's explosive drumming style for a delightful experience. His incisive precision and groovy touch, perfectly complements David Tixier's nuanced piano playing, which delicately shapes the musical space with swirling harmonies. Let yourself be swept by an improvisation marked by a hypnotic bass synth loop pattern, and you will hear the ghost of Bach, for the duration of a fugue.

Their fourth album, "A Piece of Yesterday," weaves together nine captivating musical stories narrated through their diverse sonic landscapes, blending elements of electronica, acoustic music, jazz, pop, classical, and trip-hop genres. "A Piece of Yesterday" also introduces audiences to the fictional character of Ehrmo, whose adventures unfold alongside each piece of music.

A cinematic saga with subtle nods to be experienced urgently.
