"Richard Comte is focused on the sonic possibilities of the guitar, drawing timeless spaces, from loud immersive drones to spacious resonances bordering on silence itself. He played with improvisers Simon H. Fell, Mark Sanders, Shabaka Hutchings, Mars Williams, Jim Black, and he interpreted contemporary music pieces from Michael Pissaro, Eliane Radigue, Fausto Romitelli. He works also in the field of contemporary dance, theater and visual arts. In 2017 he founded Nunc., a label dedicated to liberate and open music."

"The saxophonist, clarinettist and composer Julien Pontvianne feeds on many musical traditions - from the renaissance messes or the indonesian gamelan to the music of sonic youth, paul motian or morton feldman - to offer his vision. Here, no ignition, or rather a single and single, at the beginning of the sound, which runs the long lock of time to its silent end. Agglomerations of sounds, tempered or not, of the resonant, of the continuous, sometimes taking the shape of songs, silhouettes which cut far away on the horizon, and will approach to you, then disappear behind, outside your field of view. Songs related to silence. If music should tell stories, julien invites news, and if it should go somewhere, that it is going to its end and that we enjoy the trip first of all. We live fully in the time and the sound that is offered, miraculous assemblies of heights, of ketological rhythms, in a territory sometimes close to the concept of ecology of sound loved by gérard grisey or the ecology of listening to salvatore sciarror.

Within groups such as the watt clarinet quartet, aum grand ensemble, kepler or abhra, against the current, it offers a kind of hedonist ascesis, a shaking meditation. In addition to his explorations as a leader, julien is one of the founding members of the collective and label onze hours onze, one of the most active in the young french scene. He plays in bands ranging from the 20's swing to experimental rock and the most contemporary repertoire. Winning many prizes and played among others in new-york, new-orleans, los angeles, montreal, china, japan, winning many prizes, in india, colombia and throughout europe."
