The Bridge 2.4 featuring 
Damon Locks—vocals, electronics
Macie Stewart—violin, vocals
Morgane Carnet—tenor & baritone saxophone
Jozef Dumoulin—keyboards, electronics
Fanny Lasfargues—electroacoustic bass, electronics

This project seeks to embrace asymmetry, in which any apparent instrumental imbalance will reveal more fragile and adventurous balances. These five unfettered spirits, who have never played together before, will gather under one imperative: an immediate readiness to explore a musical territory where everything is possible. From Chicago, we welcome renowned poet and visual artist Damon Locks along with violinist and vocalist Macie Stewart. And from the new generation of French musicians, we present Morgane Carnet, a flamboyant saxophonist; Fanny Lasfargues, an atypical and irreverent bassist; and Jozef Dumoulin, a keyboard player of purity and density. This concert promises the art of improvisation unfolding in its most surprising sense to reveal fantastic new territories.

The Bridge is supported by Ministère de la Culture, Sacem, Centre National de la Musique, Spedidam, Adami and Institut Français. 

The Bridge 2.04 has been made possible through Jazz & New Music, a program of Villa Albertine and FACE Foundation, in partnership with the French Embassy in the United States with support from the French Ministry of Culture, Institut Français, SACEM (Société des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs de musique) and the CNM (Centre National de la Musique).
