French Rock band BBT ("La Belle, la Brute et le Truand") is composed of drummer Farid Medjane, guitarist Daniel Boro, and bassist/singer Niagara. BBT showcased the Future Drums' instrument developed by Richard Kronland-Martinet and his team at the CNRS -- Laboratoire de Mécanique et d'Acoustique (Marseille, France). The Future Drums augment traditional drum playing techniques by letting drummers play remotely from the drum kit, thanks to drumsticks equipped with wireless technology.

Farid Medjane is currently one of the best rock drummers in France. He brings together an extraordinarily precise and powerful drumming style with a great sense of showmanship and communication with the audience. Farid is the drummer with the French hard rock band Trust (more than 4 million records sold). He also plays in The Chris George Band, who are endorsees of Marshall amplifiers and represent the brand at the world's leading trade fair for musical instruments Musikmesse, and on their international tours and musical clinics.

Daniel Boro (alias "Dan Rock") recently started the band BBT ("La Belle, la Brute et le Truand") in the tradition of classic English blues-rock with Farid Medjane and Niagara, a tremendous bassist/singer.

The New Resonances Festival was organised by Queen Mary University of London as part of the CMMR 2012 international symposium (http://cmmr2012.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/).
