Introduction by Gizeh :
The Cry is a new improvising trio comprised of Christine Ott (Ondes Martenot, piano), Mathieu Gabry (keyboards, effects) and Pierre-Loïc Le Bliguet (drums, percussion). This debut release was created in November 2022 and it falls between avant-garde jazz, krautrock and progressive instrumental music. This self-titled record holds multiple textures and the density of the music here offers a constantly renewed listening experience. These sounds sculptures are born in the moment and the trio play out compelling polyrhythmic movements immersed in an electro-acoustic magma.
