Oasis Boom - Cactus Bus CD

Dur et Doux 071
Mélissa Acchiardi : drums and synthesizer played with drumsticks
Vincent Duchosal : prepared electric guitar
Another unusual and fun winnner from Dur et Doux; there’s a lot of music coming from just two people. File under African music + Vialka + improvisation + Ahleuchatistas (duo version). Recommended!
The sound of OASIS BOOM is very loosely inspired by Maloya and Mandinka music. The synthesiser is struck with drumsticks and metro tickets get stuck in the guitar strings as if there were sand everywhere. The powerful turns seem to come from afar, others make you smile and remind you of video game music, melodies unfold, rock you and envelop you, sometimes with jokes and electronic music lurking in the background.
These are two musicians, who are very active on the Lyon and Paris scenes Mélissa Acchiardi plays the vibraphone and drums, loves to compose, improvise, tinker, practise, break everything or apply herself. Trained in classical percussion, she plays in The Very Big Experimental Toubifri Orchestra, ARFI, Saint Sadrill, and with several theatre companies.
Vincent Duchosal’s guitar has wandered through Maloya, contemporary jazz, noise and experimental music. He has nimble fingers and likes sounds when they are not too clean. He plays in Trio Meije, Phonem, ZOZIO and with the company La Grande Magouille.”
