Mâäk Quintet - Semille-Sommeille by MetX Moving Music

Written by saxophonist Grégoire Tirtiaux, Sémille Someil refers to Man and his semi-consciousness. About his inconsistencies and his impossibility to reconcile what he would like and what he should do. From his state of spiritual semi-sleep (‘semi-sommeil’ in French), would he be able to fall into a semi-awakening state? And let the seeds of wisdom that lie dormant in him germinate? Through music, the Quintet aims to speak to the soul where words sometimes fail.

The introduction illustrates the complementary nature of our coordinated actions. The track then plunges into a series of frenetic themes and improvisations representing the world in its turmoil and interactions. Each voice is both independent and interwoven with the others, like the musicians of the Mâäk Quintet, each with their own personality at the service of the collective and the music.
