6 - INDIAN'S FIRST

Impérial Quartet nous sert une matière sonore organique, inspirée aussi bien par les musiques traditionnelles, les musiques de transes que parfois l’énergie du rock. A cela, leur musique ajoute un vrai vivier rythmique qui donne à leurs mélodies une énergie vraiment unique. Impérial Quartet nous saisit ainsi dans un mouvement digne d'un défilé populaire entre musiques afro-américaines et cajuns et file tout droit vers des expériences tout en couleur, aussi festives que parfois psychédéliques.

Composé de Damien Sabatier (Saxophones alto), Gérald Chevillon (Saxophone ténor), Joachim Florent(Contrebasse) et Antonin Leymarie (Batterie).

With Dysnomia, the Brooklyn-based group Dawn of Midi made up of double bass player Aakaash Israni, pianist Amino Belyamani and drummer Qasim Naqvi abandon improvisation in favour of composition, utilising sophisticated rhythmic structures from North and West African folk traditions to weave a sonic tapestry of trance-inducing grooves. From close up one may see only dots, but when stepping back an undulating image reveals itself. “We didn’t want to create anything cerebral,” says Belyamani, “we wanted something visceral, something that would awaken our instinctive dance impulses.” 

“We wanted to make a record that sounded both musically futuristic and sonically vintage,” explains Israni, “and since the album never saw a proper international release, it is very exciting to see what might happen when more people are exposed to it. And to be aligned with Erased Tapes, whose enthusiasm for the music they release has done a lot for exposing unique instrumental and electronic music, makes it that much more interesting.”

'The Dragon Warrior' by the Jozef Dumoulin Trio

	IMPERIAL QUARTET is the gathering of four improvisational musicians that have been accomplices for many years. The project came to light in the beginning of 2010.
Based on a supple, generous, solid and on-alert upright bass/electric bass and drum rhythm, the band leans on the singularity of the undeniable coexistence that has united the saxophone players for over 10 years.
	Between the two of them, they share familie of saxophones from sopranino to bass, developing an original and unexpected sound pallate.
This uncommon variety of pitches allows the exploration of new musical territory through the compositions proposed by the ensemble.

	The search for organic material, also inspired by traditional music, trance music and that somewhat "dirty" rock energy, serve as a rhythmic pool to their aerial melodies and other theatrics.
	The improvisational aspect has a fundamental place in this quartet's music. When it comes from the compositions as well as in itself.


	IMPERIAL QUARTET is a formation that is simple in its constitution (a quartet without polyphonic instruments), rich in its possible orchestral combinations, essential in its wish to communicate, be it in the exchange between musicians or in sharing with the audience.
