Show & CultureShow & CultureCouleur.S sextet is the ultimate stage of an approach begun as a solo project and then developed as a trio since 2018. The project aims to be a crucible for creolization between the worlds of jazz and improvised music and Olivier Messiaen’s extraordinary universe. In addition to the core piano/double bass/drums trio, the sextet incorporates the ondes Martenot, Olivier Messiaen’s signature instrument, the trombone, the “telluric” force of the brass, and the violin, extending the earthly double bass toward the skies. Infused with the sonic colors of the great composer, this creation above all seeks to reach a “colored” cosmogony—a true birth of an imaginary, poetic and shared world.
