«ROGUEART» would like to very warmly thanks Festival Sons d’Hiver, Le Petit Faucheux, Le Carré Bleu and l’AJMI.

We penetrate all the rhythmic gardens. Immediately and always there will be euphoria, resounding kingdoms. That thing which is rhythm (every sound contact that it propagates): a connector, a generator and a regenerator (hence The Turbine!). Alexandre Pierrepont, excerpt from the liner notes

How dare we spend so much valuable energy answering such questions as "What is Jazz?".

JUST LISTEN!
