Un nouveau challenge, me retrouver seul face à mon instrument, en introspection dans la version la plus intime de ma pratique musicale...

Je vous propose de partager mes pièces pour vibraphone solo, des improvisations au vibraphone et accompagnées de différents instruments de percussions avec l'aide d'un looper de scène.

Vous pouvez écouter mes pièces pour vibraphone solo sur mon CD Vibração.

Formé à l’occasion du festival Nancy Percute 2014, ce duo est né d’une rencontre musicale spontanée entre deux amis. Ces deux percussionnistes classiques, compositeurs et passionnés par l’improvisation dès leur plus jeune âge partagent un univers qui nous promène au travers de la musique classique, du jazz, de la variété en passant par le musette et la chanson française. Depuis 2014, le duo s’est produit avec succès à l’occasion de plusieurs festivals et concerts en France (Convention de l’association française pour la percussion 2018, le festival Nancy percute 2017, Le concours Perku en Herbe organisé par PAS-France à Rambervillers en 2017, heure musicale à Aulnay-sous-bois, tubular bells and friends 2 à Rosny-sous-bois…).
