IVM Trio
Unified by a shared interest in free improvisation, sparse atmospherics and rapturous club mutations, Inner Voice Movement explores the three artists’ mutual will to investigate untouched sonic realms and transcend the limitations of what a live electronic act is supposed to embody. Inner Voice Movement can indeed refer to both an ongoing internal mental dialogue and a form of improvised reharmonization in jazz, leading to a constant quest for the regions ‘in between’. Each musician’s individual characteristics are vivid yet naturally merged: Mika Oki’s sculptural sound design meets Sébastien Forrester’s highly expressive, almost ritualistic kind of drumming and Apulati Bien’s strikingly versatile approach to production. The three-headed project is profoundly exploratory - abstraction and contemplation, diving into the micro-precision of computer music and mirroring organic environmental schemes count as some of the three artists’ persistent objects of study.
As a power trio, Sébastien Forrester, Mika Oki & Apulati Bien aim at playing with instability and unpredictability, surprising each other as well as the audience, in constant flux between brutalist shockwaves, recursive rhythms and occasional, lush ambient fantasies.
