From its most intimate tremors to its deafening swirls and abysmal silence, the Montagne Sauvage quintet captures the very essence of the elemental forces that animate the majestic mountain landscape.

Continuing the sound exploration of the Shan trio (Ariel Tessier, Julien Pontvianne and Pascal Charrier), Montagne Sauvage is the result of a meeting with Norwegian saxophonist Sigrid Aftret and Turkish singer Canan Domurcakli. 

Together, they draw inspiration from the writings of anthropologist Nastassjia Martin and her book "Les âmes sauvages", to bring to life a totally improvised, organic and mineral music, at the crossroads between free-jazz, contemporary music and traditional Anatolian songs. 

It's a meditative experience that leads to trance and powerful eruptions of sound; between otherness, vertigo and resonance with the living. A suspended moment, like a twilight walk in a Mediterranean European mountain range.
