Flojter (Mats Gustafsson / Delphine Joussein)

Paris Blow

The debut from the duo Flöjter brings together Mats Gustafsson and Delphine Joussein, both collaborators in Fire! Orchestra and Nout, in a wild live encounter expanding the sonic possibilities of the flute, weaving extended techniques, electronics, organ, harmonica and voice into a volatile, exploratory dialogue that moves between raw texture, rhythmic drive and spacious abstraction.

Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

" Flöjter's debut album, recorded live at La Dynamo, Banlieues Bleues in Paris, explores audio landscapes never heard before.

Delphine and Mats have been collaborating in Fire! Orchestra and Nout for several years and are now meeting as a duo, the ultimate setting for musical interaction at its highest energy! Anything goes!

In a radical commitment to exploiting the flute to its very last layer of nickel silver, solid silver blends with electronics, groove, riffs, percussion, and vocals. In short, the pipes cross in a new high-voltage story, where intense energy meets unrivaled beauty, extreme metal, contemporary music, free jazz, noise and early music."-Utech
