IMPERIAL QUARTET is the gathering of four improvisational musicians that have been accomplices for many years. The project came to light in the beginning of 2010.
Based on a supple, generous, solid and on-alert upright bass/electric bass and drum rhythm, the band leans on the singularity of the undeniable coexistence that has united the saxophone players for over 10 years.
Between the two of them, they share familie of saxophones from sopranino to bass, developing an original and unexpected sound pallate.
This uncommon variety of pitches allows the exploration of new musical territory through the compositions proposed by the ensemble.
The search for organic material, also inspired by traditional music, trance music and that somewhat "dirty" rock energy, serve as a rhythmic pool to their aerial melodies and other theatrics.
The improvisational aspect has a fundamental place in this quartet's music. When it comes from the compositions as well as in itself.
IMPERIAL QUARTET is a formation that is simple in its constitution (a quartet without polyphonic instruments), rich in its possible orchestral combinations, essential in its wish to communicate, be it in the exchange between musicians or in sharing with the audience.
