Our Take

Joelle Leandre and Pascal Contet bring seismic energy to the scene with their latest collaboration, "Area Sismica." This avant-garde masterpiece is a whirlwind of experimental soundscapes and boundary-pushing compositions that will leave you feeling like you've just been hit by a sonic earthquake.

Leandre's virtuosic double bass playing is the perfect match for Contet's mesmerizing accordion skills, creating a dynamic interplay that is both chaotic and mesmerizing. The duo effortlessly weaves in elements of free jazz, contemporary classical, and even a touch of electronica, resulting in a truly unique listening experience.

Tracks like "Fault Line Funk" and "Tectonic Tango" showcase Leandre and Contet's ability to blend genres and push the boundaries of traditional music. The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking the listener on a journey through highs and lows, twists and turns, and everything in between.

"Area Sismica" is a testament to the power of collaboration and experimentation in music. Leandre and Contet have crafted a bold and daring album that challenges the listener to think outside the box and embrace the unexpected. So buckle up, hold on tight, and get ready to ride the seismic waves of this mind-bending musical experience.
