He is still very active in the breton "fest-noz" scene (the famous dance nights of Brittany!) and also experiments regularly with other musical styles that he has been studying (indian classical music, sufi music from Turkey, persian music, greek folk...) and it is also not rare to hear him creating incredible soundscapes in jazz/ambient/experimental projects these days.
Sylvain also plays other instruments such as indian bansuri, balaban (similar to duduk) and is also a very accomplished uilleann-pipes player and also biniou kozh (traditional bagpipe of Brittany)

Depuis quelques années lunaires, Tact agite la sacro-sainte pop et secoue le mythe rock’n’roll à grands coups d’harmonies vocales sixties, de riffs malins tantôt isoélectriques tantôt acoustiques, sur fonds de nappes synthétiques, naviguant entre le psychédélique 70’s et le dancefloor 90’s. A l’instar des irréductibles gaulois, le trio est tombé dans le chaudron de potion magique quand il était petit: résultat, Tact se transforme en une machine à tubes dès la première gorgée de bière avalée. Et le moins que l’on puisse dire c’est que les 3 garnements ont de la bouteille ( je sais elle est facile). Immanquable et perméable, suspecté et insoupçonné, assister à un concert est la voie royale vers l’adoption, celle d’un groupe attachant et lumineux. (©VoltBass)
