MINIMAL MUSIC FESTIVAL

Étienne Jaumet, Sonic Boom + Céline Wadier

In 2017, the drone-music concert by La Monte Young was the ‘amazing highlight of the Minimal Music Festival,’ according to Het Parool, which awarded it with five stars. This edition brings three musicians together for a tribute to this legendary founder of minimal music.

Étienne Jaumet and Sonic Boom are true wizards on analog synths. Singer Céline Wadier specializes in Dhrupad, the oldest form of classical Indian music and one of Young’s greatest sources of inspiration. Sound artist Étienne Jaumet (1970) plays synth in the duo Zombie Zombie and is a saxophonist in the live band of producer James Holden.

Sonic Boom (pseudonym of the Brit Peter Kember, 1965) has a long track record in the alternative and electronic music scene. The Dhrupad style in which Céline Wadier sings is, just like the music of La Monte Young, characterized by the use of drones as the basis for improvisation. In 2016, the trio had great success with a tribute to La Monte Young in a performance at the Philharmonie de Paris.
