BARRAUD & BÉLIS

Estampes

MATHIEU BÉLIS : piano
GUILLAUME BARRAUD : bansuri
After ten years of a fruitful partnership, this new project came about in the midst of the pandemic. Composers Mathieu Bélis and Guillaume Barraud teamed up again for a series of improvisations; and the result is a repertoire of intimist music pieces. From the synergy of the piano and the bansuri emerges a language of its own. The striking of the strings and the breath through the bamboo intertwine to deliver a colourful canvas of sounds. “Estampes” is an ode to journey, an invitation to fly away and explore an eclectic universe of contemporary jazz brewed with classical, pop and traditional elements.
From the beginning, the duet considered the possibilities of collaborating with various artists who could match with their aesthetics. For this first opus entitled “Estampes” (B&B Productions/ InOuïe Distribution 2022), they invited guitarist KEVIN SEDDIKI to play the nylon guitar on two of their compositions. The album was recorded and mixed at the Studios de Meudon near Paris.
