Un truc comme ça – Collectif du Lion

‘Un truc comme ça’ is poetic, of course, but it is also a profound song, a liberating journey for everyone. The complicity between the three musicians and the ingenious sound engineer, listening to Laurence Vielle's words, is one of the major strengths of this encounter across diverse musical worlds (pop, jazz, noise, tribal, etc.).

Poet Laurence Vielle and drummer-percussionist Michel Debrulle have already performed together on several occasions, so it was on familiar ground, both artistically and personally, that these two artists decided to create ‘Un truc comme ça’. Laurence Vielle is said to swing, scat, rap, slam, jazz... Michel Debrulle is said to be a mischievous fellow whose drumming is decidedly unique and exciting... 

This encounter is poetic, and the boundaries between jazz, rock, electronic music, percussion and words simply melt away in the wake of deep singing, a liberating journey for everyone, hypnotic and intoxicating!

Laurence Vielle – lyrics, vocals

Michel Debrulle – drums, Binche bass drum

The voice of Marguerite Duras (excerpts from interviews) connects them in a form of joyful timelessness.
