Danse Musique Rhône-Alpes & adhdiva
Danse Musique Rhône-Alpes is the brainchild of percussionist and electronic acrobat Loup Gangloff. On closer inspection and listening, the project name seems well chosen, as it describes the aesthetic dimension of the musical work quite well. It does indeed sound a little as if a map of this mountainous and river-crossed region in the west of France has been set to music. Electronic impulses meander freely between various compositional forms and time signatures, sometimes transforming into digital surfaces, sometimes into rhythmic sequences that drive you to the dance floor and stimulate both the ear and the brain.
The DJ counterpart and the perfect sonic complement to this evening is adhdiva with her mix of broken and straight beats full of cosmopolitan glamour.
