The album will be released this spring on the Jazzdor series’ record company. For this completely original program, Claudia wrote ten poems in English, partly inspired by the post-war American movement called confessional poetry, including the work of Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, or W.D. Snodgrass. The duo creates a unique sound that is as much obvious and fluid as elaborate and moving, mixing piano, modular synth, voice, and mastered effects. The whole project gives birth to lunar, magnetic and chimeric orchestral pop songs. Arthouse songs for borderless free music.
After Characters on a wall (ECM Records), Louis Sclavis decided to create a new program with the same musicians with the addition of Olivier Laisney. He called this new opus India, in reference to the title of his first album as band leader, recorded in the early 1980s, Chine. India’s music is made up of melodies and atmospheres, underpinned by persistent beats and rhythms, as well as suggested dances. “I have distant, vague memories of a theater on the docks of Calcutta, of a long train in the countryside, of a night at Kali temple, of a marching brass band during Ganesh festivals, and others. These impressions are sometimes present in my compositions; I wish to offer sounds from a faraway land, more imaginary than real. The music is about Indies, not necessarily ‘galantes’ – see Les Indes galantes by Jean-Philippe Rameau –, but always baroque”, said Sclavis.
