Astrakan

The members of the Paris-based group Astrakan share the common wish to create sonic atmospheres, using sound as a travelling machine for exploring imaginary scenes. Each piece of Astrakan’s repertoire derives from a short scenario that musicians rely on to shape the music. Ranging from jazz, rock to noise and experimental, the sound of Astrakan tells stories without words.

Stéphane Ghez (tenor and soprano saxophone), Grégoire Carpentier (guitar, electronics, compositions), Pierre Cassat (bass, double bass), Matthew Apted (drums).
