Artist Biography For Les Projectionnistes

In The Musical Vignettes Of Les Projectionnistes You Will Hear Many Divergent Strains Love Of Brass Bands And Film Soundtracks Noir Atmospheres And Frenetic Chase Scenes Included But Also Modal Jazz Raymond Scott-Styled Eccentric Cartoonishness Scorching Hendrixian Guitar Rock Avant-Garde Textures Tight Funk Horn Riffing Some Hammond B3 Flavors A Latin Tinge And Maybe Even A Bit Of Punk For Good Measure. But Projectionnistes Music Is No Random Pastiche Of Sounds Thrown Together Willy-Nilly The Band Merge All Of The Aforementioned Influences And More Together Into A Unique And Singular Sound One That Seems Utterly Familiar Because You Have Heard These Stylistic Antecedents Before But Never Combined Together In Quite The Same Way.
