"Fabrice Favriou is a trained drummer who has become a guitarist by occupational hazard, and who has also endeavoured thus far to learn to don't play harmonium decently, with some success.

Influenced by contemporary music from the future, impossible musics and decadent rock music, he composes, improvises and actively plays live on survivor scene. Mindful of placement and the relationship between space and silence, he regularly creates music for contemporary dance.

Fabrice Favriou is an attentive rambler, attracted to the sounds of an urban environment, such as the noises of power transformers, all types of turbines, used neon tubes, or the palpitations of controlled mechanical ventilation systems which inspire his work with drones, undulations, dephase vibrations, cyclical, off-centre gestures and continuums..."

"I believe that music is formed in time and finds its fulfillment. Programming, defining, schematizing, improvising are the different and not contradictory ways of accompanying the growth of an organism that, like every living thing, is born, grows , Becomes individualized and extinct.The necessity of the ephemeral is the credibility of the form: I do not know the aesthetics of the piece globally, but only the form of a fragment which reproduces constantly as it transforms itself.

"Julien Touéry was born in Auch on March 2, 1982. After practicing the classical piano in his childhood, he joined the college of Marciac in the Ateliers (AIMJ). There he discovered jazz and met his future traveling companion, Emile Parisien. After obtaining his jazz DEM from the Conservatory of Toulouse, he became a professional musician at the age of 20.

Shortly after, he co-wrote the music for the Hip 11 show (CNCDC of Châteauvallon / Théâtre Chaillot) for musicians and dancers, which he performed on national stages in France and Europe.

It was in 2004 that the Emile Parisien QUARTET (Parisien / Darrifourcq / Gélugne / Touéry) was created, a group with whom he developed the idea of ​​collective composition while freeing himself from style and form. With this project, he personalizes his approach to the piano and asserts himself in a collective music navigating between free jazz, improvised music and contemporary music. The quartet distinguished itself by winning the Victory of the Jazz 2009 in the category young talents or by performing alongside Michel Portal.

In 2010, he founded the Farm Job group with Robin Fincker (Out House), Fabien Duscombs (The Platoon Tiger) and Maxime Delporte (Stabat Akish), with whom he experimented with other equally singular musical worlds and recorded two albums .

More recently, he is at the initiative of a trio joining the improvisatory clarinettist Sylvain Kassap and the drummer Fabien Duscombs in order to develop a freer sound exploration.

At the same time, Julien Touéry has performed in more classical jazz ensembles such as Le Tourtiers and Us is Five, always with the same commitment and artistic rigor."
