GUILLAUME BARRAUD & MATHIEU BÉLIS

INVITE YANN PHAYPHET

“Estampes”

MATHIEU BÉLIS : piano
GUILLAUME BARRAUD : bansuri
YANN PHAYPHET : double bass
A vibrant journey 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. Struck strings and breath 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.
