Temporal paradox : a paradox concerning time, the passage of time or the fictitious consequences of time travel.
Isn't playing contemporary jazz on 17th-century instruments a temporal paradox?
What better way to illustrate this point than with H.G. Wells's famous work ‘The Time Machine’?
The 4 soloists who make up this group have the particularity of playing both ancient and modern instruments, ancient and contemporary music, whether written or improvised.
Jazz quartet on period instruments
After H.G. Wells novel.
This specificity makes it possible to form a quartet that functions like any jazz ensemble today, with a sound that is totally new to this form of expression, since it uses only instruments typical of the baroque period.
The concert follows the construction of Wells's novel, with each chapter inspiring composition and improvisation.
A projected or broadcast summary allows the listener to feel the connection between the literary work and its musical setting.
The musicians of ‘The Time Machine’ invite you to take a journey through time and multiple soundscapes.
