Auster Loo - Collective (2024)

Auster Loo was originally a duo made up of Simon Leleux, a specialist in oriental percussion and flutist Lydie Thonnard. They invited top musicians from different backgrounds to form the Auster Loo Collective: the koto blends with the playful melodies of the West African kora, piano and double bass, the Iranian flute and setar, Oriental percussion and vocals... What emerges is a singular universe, the result of a unique alchemy between uprootedness and anchoring. Poignant, dreamlike melodies alternate with rhythmic, high-energy compositions.
