Moon at Sunrise - Véronique Bizet & Eric Thielemans

A new duo, piano and drums, expressing itself in a pure and spontaneous way through original compositions.

Their music is a constant exploration of different sound palettes, an adventurous journey full of surprises and innovations. An interplay based upon intuition and upon their musical experience in jazz, classical and improvised music.

This is the first CD release of pianist Véronique Bizet and drummer Eric Thielemans. These two musicians have been working together for two years before recording this CD.

The music on „Moon at Sunrise” is a synthesis of jazz, classical and contemporary music, as well as free improvisation. The music always happens in the moment . The musicians are “sound-producers”, and primarily nothing is determined in advance.

The inspiration for this work was found not only in the world of sounds.
The musicians also play from their mutual experience with dance (e.g. workshops and collaborations with Barre Phillips and Julyan Hamilton), and from their interest in a natural and spiritual life, so that in certain compositions, we can speak of a particular sound approach ( „adding sound to silence” ), or in other circumstances, the music is born simply out of movement and gesture.

These „experimental” concepts were extremely well understood by the sound engineer and magician Michel Huon‚ who recorded the sound as naturally as possible.
