MKF [Trio] - Hürven

“Talented accordionists Stephane Milleret and Norbert Pignol, with the help of Daniel Bartoletti (machines, voice and guitar) have made a big step forward toward blending and fusion. We were accustomed to the contemporary experimentation of Milleret and Pignol. In this first trio album, they show again their open-mind on the world and their creativity. We find the sound, energy and warmth of the diatonic accordion, mixed with electronic machines and special effects. No barriers, no judgment. These three artists offer new ways to play traditional music without falling into comfort, repetition or boredom. The repertory is mainly made up of original creations. This is a link between tradition and modernity. Despite the machines, we clearly hear the specific sonorities of the diatonic accordion. This album is a step forward toward the recognition of the legitimacy of traditional influences in contemporary musics. An essential CD for music lovers or festival programmers.” Gérard Viel - Trad Magazine
