Carte blanche to PSPBB jazz and improvised music students

On the program

Ilana

With distorted vocals and viola, pulsating synths, and tense drums, ILA seeks calm amid the storm. Through a unique trio, ILA explores areas between rebellious French chanson, progressive jazz, and polyrhythm, where traditional song forms break down to make way for landscapes. Poetry rubs shoulders with dissonance, textures become entangled, and peace becomes a territory to be conquered. An intimate quest where emotion takes precedence so that light can be gained, note after note.

Line up:
Raphaël Sautereau – Synths x2
Ilana – Vocals + Viola and pedals
Florestan Carmona – Drums

Amandine Fauque

A central reflection of her daily life, the concept of time occupies an important place in Amandine's life. She retraces her journey by addressing the question of time through French songs mixing pop, electro dance, and techno styles. Influenced by artists such as Zaho de Sagazan, Iliona, Yoa, and Liv Del Estal, she sings about her uncertainties and the contradictions between her desire and her fear of growing up.

Line up:
Hugo Doppler – Keyboard
Amandine Fauque – Vocals

Jyoti

A young singer and songwriter, Jyoti likes to place the voice at the center of her musical universe. Her American pop/RnB influences help her create bright, hopeful pop music with varied textures and vocals. In her lyrics, which oscillate between English and French, she draws on her great sensitivity to tell emotional stories about life.

Line up:
Jyoti – Vocals
Tursiops – Keyboard (Gwendal Lesage)
