Info for VeryDub

First album for this band rooted in electro-jazz and imagined by Baptiste Dubreuil, French keyboardist and composer. The compositions are rich and varied, carefully crafted. A very imagined writing, almost cinematographic, sometimes cataclysmic, sometimes dreamlike. VeryDub takes us on a journey into textured and contrasting worlds where categories and barriers are shattered. A music that shakes, moves, transports and shakes up. A sound that wakes you up and makes you want to get up.

It was the meeting of Mathieu Pion and Baptiste Dubreuil that led to the launch of the VeryDub project. At first, the project consisted in gathering around Baptiste Dubreuil musicians of more or less similar styles, to "sequester" them a few days in a recording studio, and to see what could come out of their meetings.

Studio recording sessions took place in small groups (as a duo or trio, then as a drum-bass-keyboard-DJ quartet) with the aim of creating a dialogue between the instrumentalists. A dozen musicians took part in these recordings, either during sessions with Baptiste Dubreuil, or to superimpose tracks on what had already been recorded.

The improvised quartet recordings give a real sensation of novelty, and the group sound is pleasantly surprising... one thinks of Miles Davis' recordings in the 70s, for the freedom felt, the sonic openness, the improvisation mode and the trance.

The extension of the genre is possible...

The open impros on hip-hop grooves, the soaring keyboard sequences, the electro sounds, the trance of the rhythmics and the samples of DJ Need... all this creates an opening, a bridge between two eras. These recording sessions resulted in the production of a record that will be released on a download platform at the time of the creation concert.
