About

Musique à neuf is an original ensemble of... nine musicians, each from worlds as diverse as jazz and traditional music. The result is a walk back towards the roots of European music.

Although the repertoire visits Gallacia, France and Ireland, the crew does not stop at geographical borders. It sketches imaginary lands and unknown shores in a musical language that is both simple, complex, free yet structured. On the path of 21st century music, composition and improvisation walk hand in hand. Musique à Neuf binds the past and present, drawing on the experience of each musician.

The palette of sounds and orchestration goes from airy piano-violin duets to Balkan brass bands - all accompanied by drone bass, bagpipes, tuba and accordion. The arrangements, a mixture of intimate duos and full orchestra, are signed Pirly Zurstrassen and Luc Pilartz. This album is the first episode of a long adventure.
