SYLVIE COURVOISIER & LONELYVILLE
Sylvie Courvoisier-piano, Mark Feldman-violin, Vincent Courtois-cello, Gerald Cleaver-drums, Ikue Mori-drum machines
Swiss pianist and composer Sylvie Courvoisier has an affinity for jazz, as well as classical and experimental music. In the improvisation group Lonelyville she plays her erratic compositions with cellist Vincent Courtois and her husband Mark Feldman on violin. The less-is-more approach of drummer Gerald Cleaver and Ikue Mori’s electronics provide an avant-gardistic edge. ‘Her music is as aesthetically beautiful as it is strange and mysterious’ (All Music Guide).
