FEAR O' SHE

Jeremy Viner: reeds

Elisabeth Coudoux: cello
Roger Kintopf: double bass
Tancrède D. Kummer: drums, composition

FEAR O’ SHE gathers a constellation of emerging and established improvisers around Tancrède's compositions and concepts.
The music merges contemporary structures, avant-garde rhythms and forms with spontaneous gestures, intuition and initiative.
We aim to take a holistic approach to music where material is brought forth as a laboratory to explore our individualities within the collective.
For us, performed music is to be projected fiercely and with unyielding commitment, hence the notion of ‘ritual’ in which FEAR O' SHE wish to throw themselves along with their audience; delving further into the devotional intensity of repetitive motions, discovering and exploring and ways of interlacing composing with improvising. Although a substantial amount of time is spent scripting scores and creating parameters of execution and interplay, the collective will always be the prism through which this artistic vision unfolds.

Here is a video of the band playing live:
