XAMP unites Fanny Vicens and Jean-Etienne Sotty in a musical creation project. Musically unclassifiable, artistically indomitable, they set out to discover new sounds with the composers of their time, revisit the music of the past, and amaze and delight their listeners.

In 2015, they revolutionized the musical landscape by creating two microtonal accordions, instruments with new scales and vibrations. Throughout their journey,
they gathered two Arnold bandoneons, a sheng, and equipped themselves with electronic equipment: their instrumentarium is constantly evolving, multiplying the sound possibilities tenfold.

Featuring new works by:

Victor Arul

Darcy Copeland

Weilu Ge

Jelani Surpris
