DARRIFOURCQ HERMIA CECCALDI

Darrifourcq Hermia Ceccaldi biography
Franco-Belgian trio consisting of saxophonist Manuel Hermia, cellist Valentin Ceccaldi and drummer Sylvain Darrifourcq. They play a highly improvised style of minimalist brutal jazz.

Valentin & Sylvain are members of the brutal jazz trio In Love With along with Valentin's brother Theo. Manuel is a composer, improvers and explorer of world music focused on saxophone and bansuri (a north Indian flute)

They have spoken about how the music of this trio is 'based on intensity' and 'charged with physical energy'.

The combined force of Ceccaldi and Darrifourcq provides a deeply grooving basis for Hermia, whose anarchic saxophone ramblings rise and fall organically

The three musicians harness raw energy and intensity to create a broad palette from minimalist, rough-edged bowing to blasts of sound.
