KILLER WHALES MUSIC THEORY – KAJA DRAKSLER «MATTER 100» – DR. DOCA

44th AMR JAZZ FESTIVAL

20H – KILLER WHALES MUSIC THEORY
For as long as the world has existed, the boat of the dead has presented itself at the Bay of the Dead on certain nights. A powerful voice rises from the bec du Raz, calling the fisherman by name... After 150 miles in Breton waters, the sailors of the Limule return to dry land with music laden with the rage of orcas, the cross swells of the April sea, obscure legends and the eternal rolling of the ship.
Mona Creisson, vocals, violin
Gregor Vidic, tenor saxophone
Romane Chantre, drums, vocals
Benoît Gautier, double bass

21H30 – KAJA DRAKSLER «MATTER 100»
Matter 100 was commissioned by the Bimhuis, Amsterdam. With this new project, pianist Kaja Draksler moves towards song and sound, song as form and sound as navigator and generator of ideas. She's interested in using basic harmonic structures, colored and expanded by microtonality, and working with amplification and audio effects to shape the band's sound. Dean Young's poetry, which is sometimes sung, sometimes spoken, oscillates between experimentation and surrealism.
Kaja Draksler, composition, keyboard, piano
Lena Abeba, vocals
Marta Warelis, keyboard
Andy Moor, electric guitar
Samo Kutin, hurdy gurdy (prepared)
Macio Moretti, drums

19H-2H – DR. DOCA at lieu central
// All the festival's concerts are broadcast live, every evening at the “lieu central”, then the DJs will keep us rocking until 2am //
If you're feeling gloomy at the end of winter and the days don't seem to be getting long enough, here's my prescription. A good dance session in the cellar under the baton of Dr. Doca, eminent specialist in Brazilian music. Dosage: as much as possible. You'll be back on your feet in two minutes. Repeat over and over until you're smiling!
