WATCHDOG

FRANCE
ELECTRIC JAZZ / IMAGINARY MUSIC
ON TOUR – 2019 ALL YEAR LONG

About

Jazz Migration 2017 Laureate

Watchdog is an electric duo. The two musicians produce a new texture of sound in the air, mixing shrill and tingling resonances with smooth acoustic vibrations.The compositions are put in space through a fascinating sound-engineer creating literaly a sound firework for the ears. A univers without concessions, filed with a rich complexity, where doors are being opened. Habits are disrupted using loops, pedal effects, minimal and noise music, dissonance and saturation, creating a unique and addictive  musical environment.

Watchdog is Jazz Migration 2017 Laureate (The most important project for French emerging creative jazz musicians), as well as 1st Prize winners of the 36th National Jazz in La Défense Contest (as part of the A. Quillier 6tet). Pierre Horckmans (bass, alto and Bb clarinets, effects) and Anne Quillier (Fender Rhodes, piano, analog synthesizer, voice) joined by Adrian Bourget (sound designer) transgress the stylistic borders, play with each other, interact, take risks and overpass every limits in a constantly changing acoustic world.

“I found the interaction between Anne on keys and Pierre Horckmans on clarinets, including the regular clarinet, the bass clarinet and the lovely sounding alto clarinet, very integrated and generative of some very interesting and attractive textures.”  Tony Dudley- Evans – The Jazz Breakfast

“Their music is fascinating and addictive, reflecting the manyfold universes of these two artists” Julien Gros-Burdet – Citizen Jazz

“You’re welcome » is the disc’s title, which well defines this brillant and creative music, catching with accuracy the anxiety of our times as well as its rised up questions”  Yves Dorison – Culture Jazz

“From the begining, the appeal obtrudes and does not weaken. Pieces are brief, style is mastered, musical choices are ambitious, yet music radiates a joyful freedom…”  Xavier Prévost – Les DNJ

“Those improvisers and painters of unspeakable, generate a striking sideral pallet, with an amazing musical coherence.”  Louis-Julien Nicolaou – l’Humanité – Les coups de coeurs de Fara

” This albun creates right ahead a state of dreaming, not like a boring afternoon, but the one with bubbling blood in your veines. Running emotions disorientated till they explode full of passion. Never to miss ! «  Louis-Julien Nicolaou – Les Inrockuptibles
