More information

Marc Wolff (drums/percussions) and Thierry Beaucoup (saxophones/vocals) shape original works whose influences are various: jazz, rock, electro and world music. On stage: traditional instruments, voices, machines (laptop, looper, sampling-pad), additional instruments, and the two performers playing the bass, the keyboards, and using the programming tools in turns.

Their musical performance turns out to be an unceasing imaginative ‘laboratory’ through cultural diversity, technical and technological brainstorming to achieve an artistic creation.
