GUILLAUME BARRAUD & MATHIEU BÉLIS

INVITE YANN PHAYPHET

“Estampes”

MATHIEU BÉLIS : piano
GUILLAUME BARRAUD : bansuri
YANN PHAYPHET : double bass
A vibrant voyage between impressionist jazz and Indian music
After a decade of fruitful collaboration, a new project came about in the midst of the pandemic. Composers Mathieu Bélis and Guillaume Barraud reunited for a series of spontaneous improvisations that gave birth to an intimate and mesmerizing collection of pieces. From the synergy of the piano and the bansuri emerges a language of its own. The striking of the strings and the breath through the bamboo intertwine to deliver a colourful canvas of sounds. This is an ode to travel — an invitation to wander through ever-shifting musical landscapes where contemporary jazz meets classical, pop and traditional influences.
Their first opus, Estampes (InOuïe Distribution 2022), features ECM artist-guitarist Kevin Seddiki on two compositions. The album was recorded and mixed at the renowned Studios de Meudon near Paris.
Since 2024, the duo has expanded into a trio with upright bassist Yann Phayphet (EYM Trio), enhancing their performances with new depth and momentum.
