Antonin Pauquet — Brumes

At the confluence of jazz and traditional French music, Brumes invites us to travel to the frontier of the imaginations specific to these aesthetics.
From the foothills of the Massif Central to fictitious territories, an original repertoire unfolds, with the melodies that still resonate in central France as its focal point. Music for dancing, these themes evoke the scottishes, mazurkas and bourrées danced by the ancients.
The double bass, drums, flute and saxophones are united in the same search for rhythm, a characteristic of both improvised music and dance, blending collected material and Antonin Pauquet's compositions in a single creative breath. From this unique sonic space emerges an intense sensation of vitality and freedom. 
With respect and imagination, this acoustic quintet draws its inspiration from the music of John Zorn, Dave Holland and Jacky Molard.
