Persona Grata ― 2024 ― 00 000

KAU

KAU est un projet instrumental basé à Bruxelles autour d’un triptyque de musiciens constitué d’André Breidlid (batterie), Matteo Genovese (basse) et Jan Janzen (synthés). Forte d’une identité pan-européenne, leur musique est à l’image de la ville qui les a vu grandir: décomplexée et richement diversifiée.
Amis de longue date depuis leur 13 ans et provenant d’un background jazz, ils mélangent savamment des structures beats, accompagnées de grooves juteux et d’ambiances électrisantes pour faire pivoter les têtes, tout en gardant une essence organique dans leur son.
Depuis 2020 et le début de leur projet commun, le groupe n’a cessé d’expérimenter et d’explorer les confins du jazz, du groove, de la dance music afin d’y distiller leur son si spécifique. Du “Beat Tape Vol 1” résolument hip-hop à l’EP “II” beaucoup plus orienté vers des compositions nu-jazz jusqu’à leur dernier EP en date “III” très axé sur l’utilisation d’effets et de textures plus électros, le trio cherche constamment à se surprendre en jammant et improvisant pendant des heures avant d’y trouver la sonorité qui les fera beugler. A la manière de savants fous, ils tâtonnent et finissent toujours par trouver la formule qui fera mouche: une ligne de basse captivante, un groove de batterie très tight ou une simple mélodie entêtante au synthé, tout est matière à développer et devenir morceau. Ils s’adonnent aussi à rendre leur musique participative en invitant à plusieurs reprises ami.e.s musicien.nes talentueux à l’image de Maxime Dereux (GROUNDS / Hypercontent!), Rebecca Driesmans (BEX) ou encore le rappeur Jay MNG sur leurs deux derniers projets sortis.
De la composition jusqu’au live, les KAU pensent et font tout ensemble tel un cerbère - pour ne faire qu’un. Tout pour la musique: comme un leitmotiv, les bruxellois donnent à chaque représentation le meilleur d’eux-mêmes sur scène pour engager la foule dans leur univers résolument solaire et dansant - et parfois tout son contraire. Ils fusionnent leur énergie triptyque sur les planches en communiquant avec leurs instruments, étant à la recherche de l’harmonisation parfaite mais tout en se laissant la liberté d’improviser comme de véritables jazzeux. Leur but étant résolument de faire bouger frénétiquement les cervicales de ceux qui s’adonnent à leur musique.
En été 2022, le groupe s’est isolé dans la campagne allemande pour s’inspirer des énergies verdoyantes afin d’y concevoir leur premier album qui sortira fin Septembre 2023 sur le label gantois SDBAN Ultra et qui s’intitule “The Cycle Repeats” (en français: Éternel Recommencement)
