LA THEORIE DES CORDES is a French trio (Guitar, piano & drums), helped by a guest-musician on bass and saxophone. Seven mid-long instrumental pieces make "Premières Vibrations" (Musea Parallèle, 2011), a concept-album about the so-called string theory, and its meaning regarding the place of Man in the Universe. Here's a very peculiar brand of Progressive jazz-rock, complex but not showing-off, somewhere between Jean-Pascal BOFFO, PRIAM, KING CRIMSON, Frank ZAPPA or Pat METHENY, showcasing a unique sound combination between piano and guitar. The music is fluid, lively and dynamic, including rhythms sometimes reminding Eastern Europe folk music, een getting close to hard-rock at times, but most of the time concentrated on suggestive musical atmospheres. "Premières Vibrations" is enhanced by a splendid booklet, filled with poems and photographs. To be discovered !
