Release Notes
Ben and Nico couldn't have chosen a better name.
Both drummers by trade, percussion lines have always determined their musical
style, acting as a solid anchor around which everything else is fluid and
flexible.
Having relished the energy of Rage Against the Machine, the experimentation
of Sonic Youth and Jazz music, the hedonism of Daft Punk (Da Funk / Rollin' &
Scratchin' period) and the booming days of hip-hop, it was at free parties
that the two school friends discovered their passion for rolling bass and
broken beats. But at 19 years old, tormented by the aggressive, formulaic drum
& bass that they were hearing, the pair took the initiative to produce their
own interpretation of breakbeat: `We ran out to buy a Yamahah because we were
always attracted to the idea of composing. That's why we established ourselves
on live sets. Playing and mixing vinyl's has never appealed to us. Given a
basic rhythm we can do anything. We've been touring for three or four years
and we haven't even got a demo to give out! It's by playing live that people
know us. We're drawn to the stage more than anything else.'
TAMBOUR BATTANT is not a group developed by strict electronic production.
Toying with riffs and gimmicks, they manipulate the rigid structure of the
music using a method reminiscent of jazz improvisation.
`We compose together at home. That's how we get the loops. The material is
clean-cut and tidy and could be released as it is, but we adapt it for playing
live at concerts. We have fun with weaving the parts together - its well
thought out and structured, not pure improvisation, even if we do allocate
sections for doing that. We don't freestyle the tracks but improvise them in
much the same way as jazz musicians. Efficiency and sound quality are
paramount for us. Also, it's our personal style that determines the way we do
things. We come from more of a rock and hip-hop background than a techno one.'
