Future folk stories
Future Folk Stories est un processus de recherche collective au long cours autour des notions de folklore et de tradition et de leur renouvellement dans la société. Il s’ancre sur l’enregistrement de paroles glanées par le biais de rencontres individuelles ou collectives dans des environnements très diversifiés et de leur mise en son/scène. Amorcé en 2021 sous l’impulsion de Robin Fincker et Mathieu Werchowski, il se décline maintenant sous différentes moutures à découvrir ci-dessous.

Bedmakers
Passe montagne
Bedmakers brings together four musicians from unique, polymorphous musical universes. Anglophone saxophonist/clarinettist Robin Fincker, drummer Fabien Duscombs, electro-acoustic violinist Mathieu Werchowski and Irish bassist Dave Kane. With this colourful line-up, the quartet plunges into the meanders of Anglo-Saxon folk music, digging into this fertile sonic material matured by decades of oral tradition, extracting its melodic essence and observing it through the eyes of unlabelled improvisers. An imaginary crossroads of different musical essences, offering a repertoire with multiple itineraries, in the image of these musics that, although deeply linked to their roots, know no borders.
Two years after the release of "Live In Berlin" (Jazzdor Series), the Bedmakers travel to the legendary La Buissonne studio in the south of France to record their next opus, building new bridges between revisited folk songs, original compositions and improvised chamber music.
Passe Montagne
Passe Montagne, the nickname of an imaginary frontiersman and a Zapatista-style balaclava, evokes cross-country trails and the carefree desire to see what's happening on the other side of the ridge.
Bourrée in homage to Ornette Coleman, Cajun bayou grooves born of a wave of noisy clatter, ballads that evoke vast swamps follow.
