"In the course of my past journeys and diverse experiences, I was discovering not only the trumpet, Jazz, melodies, I was discovering Music: multicolored, multi-form, motley, daring, unashamed, unlimited, powerful, dissatisfied, unstable, risky … I was finally daring to dream my own music. I wanted it to be intense as much as ethereal, inspired by the dreams and the electric experiences of everyday life, but also lively and magnetic. So my electro-jazz project took shape: "Electronic tones which mingle with unpredictable rhythms tamed by a trumpet with voluptuous harmonies ".
As a performing artist, Etienne C. mixes and plays the trumpet at the same time. As a top-ranking technician, his elastic mix together with the sound of his unearthly trumpet confer on his unique concept the musicality and the energy necessary to successfully put the public into orbit. Endowed with acute sensitivity, he takes the audience towards still unexplored spheres.
Etienne C. has had the honor and the luck to perform with, and/or open for numerous talented international artists in Europe, China, Indonesia and Morocco as: Moby, The Herbaliser, Dj Krush, Amon Tobin, Asian Dub Foundation, Ken Ishii, Jack de Marseille, Nils Hess, Dj Kulu, Charles Schillings, Sex Toy, Ezekiel, The Youngsters, Laurent Ho, 69 dB, Dj Spooky, Emanuel Pimenta…
"Au fil de mes voyages et diverses expériences, je ne découvrais pas seulement la trompette, le Jazz, les mélodies… Je découvrais la Musique : Multicolore, multiforme, bigarrée, osée, insolente, sans limites, puissante, insatisfaite, instable, risquée…
J'osais enfin rêver ma propre musique.
Je la voulais intense et aérienne, inspirée par les rêves et les expériences électriques du quotidien, mais aussi dansante et magnétique. Ainsi se dessina mon projet électro jazz :
Des sonorités électroniques qui se mêlent à des rythmiques caractérielles domptées par une trompette aux harmonies voluptueuses."
