Phase O

Does music exist to be concrete? Does it have to be reasonable and conscious or inspired so that at some point there is an originality that is created, that the agitation jostles the inert.

By their work to music, the approach of the musicians of “Phase O” is not so different from the alchemist whose ear is focused on the perception of the frequencies of matter. Just like the alchemist who through transmutation resolves the contradictions of the essence of the elements, they resolve the dissonances of the substrates of music of all ages: acoustics, electrics and electronics in order to create a unique moment between magic and rationality where coherence is dissolution, where transcendence is disguised as immanence, so that listening to this moment of musical freedom creates a lived experience in the listener.

Alongside drummer Benoit Martiny, the sextet is made up of guitarist Paul Gehl, bassist Vedran Mutic, violist Renata van der Vyver, clarinetist Michel Pilz and sound engineer Rico Querin.
