How can you tell a story in music without being locked into a score? Perhaps by taking an example from traditional music, which, while keeping its identity, is also music permeated with desires for freedom. Experience has shown that the combination of two kinds of music - far from being artificial - leads the listener along a road that sometimes disorients him, but always makes him dream.
The XVIII-21 roots have gone as far as China, Brazil and the Middle-East.
Lasting collaboration with Chinese artists has enabled the two cultures to observe each other, to understand each other, and to respect each other before attempting some joint experiments.
After having followed the Italian Pellegrino in the Orient, after having become richer thanks to the contact with musicians in the villages of Transylvania around the Codex Caioni, XVIII-21 already makes us dream in 2008 of the Baroque of the Philippines or of Ethiopia…
Sail along in the wake…
