Inspired by Lewis Carrol’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’, the Dutch collective
Té
creates its own musical wonderland. Energetic jigs, lazy waltzes, blazin’
scottishes and mad bourrées, virtuoso played by this tight group of
friends. Like Carrol’s tale, the music is layered and colorful. Every
melodic line is countered by surprising harmonies, dynamic changes
and rhythmic variations. The
musicians literally tease, chase and provocate one another and drag each
other into wild musical landscapes from which their music can only
escape one way: to the dancers.
All tunes are original and written to dance to.
Influences from Balkan, Quebecois, French, Scandinavian and Turkish
music are always under the surface and emerge in colorful eruptions of
pure playing-pleasure.
