Nathan Mollet Presents Ibex

IBEX combines the virtuosity around the improvisation of musicians from jazz with the hardcore electronic sounds of the UK underground scene. The project refuses to adhere to a single genre or category and oscillates between Jungle, Drill, Future Bass, Hardcore Techno and UK Garage while remaining entirely in a “live”, improvised and raw perspective. IBEX seeks to simultaneously reinvent EDM and improvised music by breaking down electronic and acoustic boundaries while retaining the tribal dimension that unites the two approaches. IBEX presents their very first concert at Baiser Salé; a celebration of the future of musical possibilities and the human need to dance. At the age of 20, Nathan Mollet is nourished by artists such as Avishai Cohen, Lyle Mays, Aaron Parks and Saya Gray… It is by playing the basis of standards ranging from the Beatles to the famous jazzmen even up to the music of Radiohead, which Nathan was able to nourish his taste for improvisation. He quickly surrounded himself with musicians with whom he shared his compositions and created original and very current projects. In residence, he will propose projects throughout the year that are very different from each other and which will all reflect his contemporary vision of jazz and music.
