Multi instrumentalist and composer Elliott Sharp is part of the coterie of New York experimentalists that have been raiding the borders of all genres of music since the 1970's. The same no limits approach that has unleashed John Zorn, Zeena Parkins, Fred Frith and many others into the world of sound, many of them he has collaborated with over the years. He leads the projects; Orchestra Carbon, Tectonics, and Terraplane and has pioneered ways of applying fractal geometry, chaos theory, and genetic metaphors to musical composition and interaction, as well as pioneering use of computers in improvising performance. Franck Vigroux equally approaches music making with the same explorative zeal. His instrumental magpie approach, uneasy with the comfort that being a virtuoso on one instrument brings, mirrors Sharp’s. Their CD together Hums 2 Terre reflects both musicians’ joy in spontaneous creation and teems with ideas.
