DIATRIBES

Cyril Bondi (percussion & objects) & d’incise (percussion, objects & electronics.

This duo are two improvisors who have been working together since 2004.  After a voracious youth exploring free jazz, noise, musique concrête and free improv, and many collaborations with international musicians such as Magda Mayas, Bertrand Gauguet, Robin Hayward, Dominic Lash, Partick Farmer, Derek Shirley and Hannah Marshall, Barry Guy, Keith Rowe, amongst others, they have chosen to focus on a rather introverted process of creation. In recent years they have toured intensely across Europe, Japan, South America, India, etc.

Cyril Bondi and d’incise are both very active in the Swiss experimental scene, leading the Insub Meta Orchestra, a very large ensemble, and they created the INSUB. label, netlabel & association (since 2006, as Insubordinations). Their unstoppable energy led them to build a strong network around these activities.

Cyril plays solo and with the post-jazz trio Plaistow and d’incise plays solo, works on electro- acoustic set-ups and compositions, and does graphic designs.
