PIERRE BASTIEN & BRUNO FERRO XAVIER DA SILVA
Pierre Bastien builds his own machineries at the cross between music and visual art, blending live trumpet sounds with screen projections and mechanical sound sculptures in a very poetic way. He will perform with visual artist and bass guitarist Bruno Ferro Xavier Da Silva, who plays rhythmically as well as melodically, using a battery of effects to create the most bizarre sounds.
