Les Maisons Maquets

This started with Phil and William Lopez spending some week-end at a small hostel in the country side not very far east from Paris. Friends came over and played. Then they recorded a bunch of song and improvisations. William finally did the mix and after 3 years had the brilliant idea that they should perform it live. After a week of rehearsal, the Live Maisons Maquets project was performed at La Dynamo of Banlieues Bleues in Paris. This show was then performed in different venues and will be soon again in the future. One of Zarboth's songs (Headlouse) was performed live by the ensemble.

Les Maisons Maquets are:

  • Tarik Chaouach - gumbri, melodica, glockenspiel
  • Pierre Le Bourgeois - cello and bass
  • Nosfell - guitar and vocals
  • Macdara Smith - trumpet, and vocals
  • Phil Reptil - guitar
  • Etienne Gaillochet - drums and vocals
  • Thomas Ostrowiecki - percussions

The music of the ensemble is a wierd mixture of traditional sounds with rock influences, simple songs, jazz and improvisations. Move on to the LOOK page to see some photos and videos of Maisons Maquets.
