Tcheli is an unusual quintet of musicians, lived by a desire to transfigure French texts by creating a highly cinematic music. Of this meeting was born Tcheli, little strange bird In the poetic, sarcastic, soft, wild and moved speech.

Archaeological Records is a publishing house and record label inspired by music archaeology.

What is music archaeology? What 'music' has never been recorded?
Ancient music is poorly catalogued and remains largely unknown, but with research these forgotten forms, ancient melodies and instruments can be re-imagined and reborn. ‘Archaeological record’ is a term used in archaeology to denote all archaeological evidence. It includes the physical remains of past human activities as well as contemporary artefacts.  
 
AR is a project based on the belief that research into new and existing archaeological records can be analysed and theorised in new ways. This re-evaluation will be examined by researchers and sound designers, musicians and audio explorers who will develop ideas of unheard territories and uncharted channels, creating the 'new' from the 'ancient'.  
 
AR will focus on the history of music and the apparently unknowable.  
 
Inspiration for AR also comes from timeless sound experiences. For example, consider a natural cave and its acoustic environment, a bouche d’ombre with its eau verticalle and its stillness. The cave is in a state of continuous transformation yet its primary characteristics remain the same throughout the millennia. 
 
Early sound sources still in use also provide endless inspiration. The human voice or animal 'voices', their skins reappropriated into drums or their bones hollowed into wind instruments. Certain stones that sing when beaten and others sculpted and carefully positioned that make the wind sing their songs.  
 
For AR, exploring the history of sound is a mission beyond time, through ineffable dimensions. A mission that requires original observation and thought which will document and define 'archaeological sound'.  
According to the International Study Group of Music Archaeology’s “Meaning and Goals” :  
“... ultimately what was played in ancient times must remain in the dark of the past, and much fantasy is needed by modern musicians to imagine how melodies and rhythms may have been composed. Strictly speaking, only the sound of the instruments can be revived - these are the possibilities and limits of Music Archaeology.”
Determined to find new possibilities, AR supports projects that look at (and stress) the elasticity of the epistemological limits described by ISGMA: projects curated by researchers and artists together. Believing that the blurring of the genres is the most desirable approach when planning art projects inspired by science (or vice versa).
