La musique de Nathan Mollet est une invitation à l’intime, portée par un piano qui murmure autant qu’il éclate. À la croisée du jazz, des musiques actuelles et de l’improvisation, il tisse un univers profondément vivant, en constante exploration.
Dans ce projet inédit, Nathan Mollet présente le groupe « Travelers » fondé par les frères Mollet, Noé et Nathan, dans le but de donner forme à des compositions sensibles qui retracent leur enfance commune à travers des sonorités novatrices et nostalgiques en s’inspirant d’artistes contemporains comme Blake Mills, Pedro Martins ou Dion Kerr, tout comme leurs aînés Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth ou Lyle Mays… C’est l’opportunité de découvrir de la nouvelle matière sonore en mêlant jazz fusion, folk et musique électronique.
« Travelers » se produira en quartet avec les deux batteurs Matis Hurion et Tiss Rodriguez. Plus qu’une simple série de dates, cette résidence est pensée comme un laboratoire de création, un terrain d’expérimentation où le partage et l’émotion sont au cœur de chaque performance.
---------------
Nathan Mollet's music is deeply personal, almost introspective. His fine, sensitive writing has been shaped over the years by a combination of intuition and meticulous craftsmanship. His projects, the fruit of long hours of research and piano playing, are born of a simple but essential desire: to create a sincere bond with the listener, inviting him into a universe where each note recounts an emotion, a moment, a breath. Trained by the great jazz masters - Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Hank Jones - and influenced by contemporary artists such as Pat Metheny, Avishai Cohen, Ben Wendel, Tigran Hamasyan and Pedro Martins, Nathan has developed a musical language that is both rooted in tradition and resolutely forward-looking. From an early age, he improvised, invented loops and played with silences and surprises. For him, the piano has become a space of total freedom, capable of expressing both gentleness and élan, contemplation and audacity. With an ever-widening palette of nuances, he explores varied emotional territories, leaving room for the unforeseen, the sensitive, the living. Alongside jazz, his compositions are now open to other aesthetics: pop, electronic music, folk and alternative. His inspirations are manifold - from the Beatles to Radiohead, via Nick Drake, Saya Gray, Sampha or Louis Cole - and enrich a singular, hybrid and poetic sound universe. During his residency at Le Baiser Salé, Nathan will be surrounded by musicians who will punctuate each concert with new colors. More than just a series of dates, this residency is conceived as a creative laboratory, a field of experimentation where sharing and emotion are at the heart of every performance.
