LA LITANIE DES CIMES
Acoustic trio, undergrowth music
Jazz Migration 2020 winner
Created in 2019 by violinist Clément Janinet with Elodie Pasquier on clarinets and Bruno Ducret on cello, The Litany of the Peaks plays with long movements, seemingly slow tempos, and harmonic contemplations.
Within this trio, improvisation is free and introspective without being recluse. The exchanged harmonies are constantly re-beaten by the repetition of the themes.
One could almost hear agitated dialogues. It’s a blast of energy. Intimate jumble against common clarity, line vivacity against melodic delicacy.
This very open music could sound like the soundtrack of a disaster movie about the end of the world, heard from the top of tall trees.
The trio will record a 2nd album on the BMC Records Label in May 22.

"Music open to the four winds, delicate writing regularly shaken by fiery free energy, to contemplate vast imaginary landscapes"

"Their poem vibrates with such sensitivity that it fascinates from the first to the last note"

"the disc unrolls an aesthetic of sobriety which imposes itself without forcing and touches on the just"
