This project grew out of a meeting between Lydie and Damien Thonnard in July 2022 during a contemporary jazz workshop given by Bo van der Werf. Hadrien Pierson and Guillaume Ruelland joined them some time later to form the current quartet. Between written and improvised parts, they compose a music through which each can express himself with his own language, while being aware that a collective universe brings them together.
The focal point of the project is the rhythmic aspect of the music. Through metric superimpositions, shifting accents and polyrhythms, the musicians attempt to approach another space-time, in which listening is multiplied. It is at the heart of this creative process that singular and specific improvisational contexts emerge.
