In October will be released ‘Sisyphus’, an album I recorded in Tokyo back in 2017 with Takashi Sugawa and Shun Ishiwaka (9th October on HANJI/Inouïe Distribution , and 11th October in Japan with Free Flying Productions). Pre-order here.
Very excited about the release of this music which I believe has aged quite well^^
This second single is a composition called ‘Cowelessi’ and you can find it here.
We will celebrate the release of this album with Takashi and Shun on October 13th at Pit-Inn Shinjuku !!!

After many postponements, it is in the fall of 2021 that pianist Francesca Han was finally able to invite trumpeter Ralph Alessi to bring to life an original repertoire during a beautiful session at La Buissonne studios, South of France.

Precise and refined gestures on delicate matter, a shared trust and a very free dialogue : the duo exudes a sensitivity that serves an original music for all sorts of journeys.

‘Exude’ will be released on October 6th 2022, and will be available in Digital and CD on Bandcamp

There will be three concerts to celebrate this in meaningful venues : l’AJMI (Avignon, 6th October), Le Périscope-Musiques Innovantes (Lyon, 7th October) and Les Caves de l’Abbaye (Beaune, 8th October).

An artwork from Lucio Fontana was chosen to purposedly illustrate the refinement of the music gathered in ‘Exude’, as ‘Fontana believed that matter should be transformed into energy in order to invade space in a dynamic form’.

Hoping you will enjoy the listening journey!
