Paul Jarret, Julien Soro, Ariel Tessier - Sweet Dog on the Moon (2024) [Hi-Res]

The project "Sweet Dog on the Moon" brings together the trio Sweet Dog and two renowned musicians from the world of improvised music. Clarinetist Catherine Delaunay and vocalist Émilie Lesbros have joined the group. Their unique style and powerful voices add new dimensions to the trio's sound.

The group retains its core approach—free play and the ability to spontaneously create compositions, whether simple or complex. However, the addition of vocals and clarinet transforms the sound. It brings lyricism and intricate melodic interweaving, giving the trio, now a quintet, an orchestral character.

Their style draws from various genres: pop-rock influences (Radiohead, Jim Black's Alasnoaxis) and jazz (Tony Malaby, Chris Speed). There are also traces of minimalism, contemporary classical music, and electronic music.
