Stephane Bertrand

His first album "Esmak" came up without warning, black and lightful, plenished with sudden inspirations rising up like peaks, relaxing with cool moods. The second opus "Clandestin" then confirmed this revelation, white and tragic, spotted with graceful sparks and striking poetry. With his third album, Stephane Bertrand keeps surprising his audience, sharing with us an adventure while he’s having perfect command on all imaginable risks. Appareled melodies and stomping rhythms, curring dialogues behind the scenery of a looping trombone, with a mix of jungle scansions and winding hammerings, acoustic friction and electronic coating, fraternal exchange and crossed strings.
