Tassin, Hermia, Joris & Midnight Sun
Julien Tassin - acoustic guitar
Manuel Hermia - saxophone
Chris Joris - percussion, drums
The trio explores the horizons of contemporary blues tinged with jazz and African music. Through an organic interplay between guitar, saxophone and percussion, this multi-generational trio brings an intense musical experience full of freshness. The sound they create is both musical and lyrical, capable of suddenly switching to another dimension made of atonality and chaos, leading you to vertigo.
Each composition is a sound picture, a kaleidoscope of textures, where the rhythm and groove often take center stage but sometimes disappear to give way to other expressive forms and dialogues. This dynamic interplay keeps the listeners on the edge, walking on a wire of musical exploration.
Beyond the sheer musicality, the music carries a deep spiritual and emotional dimension. It conveys the powerful message that “the light is always greater than darkness.” While chaos may be a part of our lives, it can be transformed into something positive and beautiful. This transformative quality resonates through their compositions, evoking a sense of hope and potentiality.
Like an echo of modern times, their music invites us to plunge into an ocean of sound where melodies intertwine, and emotions awaken. It is a journey through intricate harmonies and pulsating rhythms, where the musicians paint a vivid sonic landscape. This artistic exploration mirrors the complexity of the human experience, offering a glimpse into the depths of our souls.
