“Whiplash, everything could fit in a second. A face to face radical, light silence/sound/darkness hide / show. A time contracted to the extreme in a hanging snap. Vertical time of our society where breaks, bursts, cleavages are commonplace. From the apparent rigor of a court table, to the apparent anarchy of percussions sets, the provocation of extremes, tensions, saturation and a sonic labyrinth that opens up into unexpected, lively and rustling musical spaces.”
