"Music is like the wind, it never stops. We are the ones who stop listening" - Alain Damasio

The Grand Sbam, a french bastard music ensemble, will release their new album Furvent for a December 11th release via Dur et Doux! The Grand Sbam embarks with Furvent on a new journey in octet, to meet the wind and the natural elements, inspired by A. Damasio's novel: The horde of the counterwind and by the symbolism of the Yi King (I Ching).

Carved in the continuous flow of sound, the music of the ensemble is a de-fluence, a circumvention, an inflection of air and time. An impetuous flow of sound defying musical boundaries. Nowhere between rock, contemporary music, ancient music, jazz, electroacoustics, it draws sharp lines and curves on the back of our disintegrating present. It plunges the listener into a familiar universe with an unpredictable future, caresses him like a soft zephyr and propels him straight into the eye of a cyclone.

Powerful and delicate, virtuoso and sensitive, Furvent's music, composed for four hands by Guilhem Meier and Antoine Arnera, is nourished by contrast, developing a furious madness charged with symbols and poetry. It explores the multiple and hybrid possibilities of a singular instrumental ensemble with generous tones, mixing electric and acoustic sounds.
