After having released two records in 2000 and 2004, the band Impression comes back with new colors as Flu(o) : an improvised and energetic jazz that loves to get rid of labels.
Air circulation and acoustic stream, minimalism and density, the music of Flu(o) is written, electric, rhythmic. It is also improvised, rock, urban.
Music in motion, which rubs some alternative and arranged pop, a nervous and sophisticated rock . Fluid, it highlights the individuality with sound combinations and superpositions.
Flu(o) is a dark and lyrical body, that becomes bright under the outside light and reveals steep reliefs and wide open spaces.
Christian Pruvost : trumpet
Stefan Orins : piano
Olivier Benoit : guitar
Christophe Hache : bass
Peter Orins : drums
Le Bénéfice du Doute - 2004
Though it was always urban, Impression’s music is now clearly oriented towards rock, while still mixing written music and improvisation. Always on the lookout for new sounds, the quintet allows for unusual uses of instruments, unexpected combinations, and limitless experiments. The influences are numerous, but always kept at a distance: we can hear echoes of Ornette Coleman, Paul Motian, Tim Berne, Steve Coleman or Jim Black… A hybrid universe, which plays on confrontations between the acoustic and the electric, where rhythm is of the essence, as well as a dynamic exchange between the band members. This music is free, contrasted, electric; it evades us, but still creates a whole world of its own, dense and eclectic.
You can find the albums of Flu(o) / Impression on Circum-disc website.
