Grand8
improvisation ensemble

Founded in 2016, Grand8 is an ensemble made up of some twenty musicians, mainly from the south-east of France, who practice large-scale improvisation without a conductor. Listening guides the musicians' approach. It provides a balance between spontaneity and meticulous construction. Grand8 is nourished by encounters with dance, the plastic arts, calligraphy... These cross-fertilizations give rise to regular performances indoors (GMEM, PIC-Télémaque, Déviation, IMMS, Friche Belle de Mai...) and outdoors (parks, gardens and mediatized hikes with the Bureau des Guides du GR2013). Grand8 is in residence at GMEM.

Dreieck Interférences Ensemble
ensemble

Dreieck Interférences Ensemble (DIE) was created in 2019 on the occasion of a project initiated by Stéphane Clor at the Météo festival in Mulhouse. Today, DIE is an orchestra of variable geometry, bringing together musicians from the Grand Est region, whose practices are rooted in contemporary classical music, free improvisation and "alternative" musical cultures. A founding project of the Dreieck Interférences association, DIE's aim is to experiment with musical creation within a large ensemble, practicing forms of collective composition and improvisation.
