Watch "Carton Jazz", video drawn by Elliot Dadat : www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXX6_98C2NY

French non-jazz trio overflowed by Simple Music Experience’s funders Tamara Goukassova, Théo Delaunay & Alexandre Larcier, offering a 40mn of non-simple music madness, and navigating between a dozen of etiquettes from undecided space rock to motorik-infused-dub, medieval folk, cartoon trance; everything under the seal of psychedelia and half-improvisation.
Built from drums, violin, springs, samples, reiterations, overdubs, trumpets, synths, distortions; and the appearances of L. Cedrón (Fiesta en el Vacío), L. Retraite (Ventre de Biche), K. Knapp (Deliluh), F. Mazzocchetti (Maoupa Mazzocchetti).

-

Chimera embraced by three members of the Simple Music Experience label, also (co-) liable at one point for the acts of Axel Larsen, (The) Simplists, Violent Quand On Aime, Constance Chlore, T. Goukassova, Radiante Pourpre, Succhiamo or Panoptique; Parasite Jazz emerged in 2016 in the smoke of a suspicious performance on Simple Music TV. An improvised and protean artifact at birth, the project settled down at the end of 2020 as a trio (Axel Larsen, Constance Chlore, Tamara Goukassova) in Marseille, then as a sextet during the Illusio festival in the summer of 2021. A series of concerts with a shifting line-up followed - Kyle Knapp, Luca Retraite and Luna Cedrón sometimes appeared and with them, spontaneous incandescences. This first series of collective hallucinations took the form of an album during a perilous recording at Grrrnd Zero (Lyon) in October 2021, and is completed by live recordings gleaned over the course of the summer episodes.

Chimère adoptée par 3 trois membres du label Simple Music Experience, aussi (co-)responsables à un point ou à un autre des actes d'Axel Larsen, (The) Simplists, Violent Quand On Aime, Constance Chlore, T. Goukassova, Radiante Pourpre, Succhiamo ou Panoptique ; Parasite Jazz advient en 2016 dans la fumée d'une performance douteuse sur Simple Music TV. Artefact improvisé et protéiforme à la naissance, le projet se stabilise fin 2020 en trio (Axel Larsen, Constance Chlore, Tamara Goukassova) à Marseille puis en sextet lors du festival Illusio à l'été 2021. S'ensuivent une série de concerts au line up mouvant - Kyle Knapp, Luca Retraite et Luna Cedrón apparaissent parfois et avec eux, des incandescences spontanées. Cette première série d'hallucinations collectives prend la forme d'un album lors d'un enregistrement périlleux à Grrrnd Zero (Lyon) en octobre 2021, et se voit complétée par des prises live glanées au fil des épisodes estivaux.
