Take, no chaser

That pretty much sums up our mindset and our stance as improvisational musicians.
We are inveterate explorers of sound and rhythm!
Since ten years now, our duo LE MARTEAU VIVANT has been insatiably exploring new avenues. Our first album, “Ouest Terne,” released in 2021, reflected our “Covid-esque” wanderings… The second, entitled TAKE NO W , appropriates electro sounds to venture into the meanderings of the current era.
Without betraying our philosophy of unapologetic musical freedom and without preconceived labels, this time we are combining with the rhythmic rigidity born of a third type: La Machine, but also with its countless possibilities for sound colorization.
