milesdavisquintetorchestra!

Beyond its provocative name, which recalls the influence of marketing on our brain by distracting us from more important issues, the project wishes to question our listening habits. Since 2012, Sylvain Darrifourcq, Xavier Camarasa and Valentin Ceccaldi have embarked on a sound research which took shape in the MILESDAVISQUINTET! A trio whose mechanical, repetitive and immersive sound universe has as its main object the search for rhythmic desynchronization.

In 2024, this research was extended to a more substantial band; composed of musicians, improvisers whose work fits perfectly with the concerns of the trio. The main challenge is to shape the improvising qualities of each of its musicians by exploiting their work in the diversion of the instrument to enrich the timbral spectrum of the musical mechanics of the MILESDAVISQUINTET!.
