Band:

The Dale Cooper Quartet And The Dictaphones

BiografieFormed for the improvisation nights' Dynamo in Brest, France, this quartet made of musicians covering a wide variety of musical styles (they are former members of Tank, Osaka, TF and ex-groove combo Loupous) creates a music that mixes electronic (samples, cuts, sound treatments) and acoustic (guitars, saxophone, trumpet).

They play moody ballads that sounds as if they come out from one of David Lynch's movies. Like in the Hollywood master of bizarre's pieces, there is something like a dark and poisonous colour broken by red thunderlights and blue cigarette smoke.

The music spawned some odd characters and landscapes while the listener makes out some more friendly faces that loom up out of this nowhere place: the voice of Zalie Bellaccico, Milanese streets sounds, a lazy flute, some distant breathing swim on the surface of this deep troubled waters. "Parole de Navarre" is an invitation for opening the red curtain of this Dark Jazz cabaret made of shimmering and whirling walls. The Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones have played some shows and festivals in the past and will tour with new material in 2011.Quelle: http://www.myspace.com/dalecooperquartet www
