SOLO
Tout corps vibrant
Sebastien Beliah : double bass, harmonica, cymbal, rattle
Sounds. Only sounds inhabit the space.
SAfter a first solo album "Nocturnes" released in 2018, a true manifesto of a radically refined style, Sébastien Beliah returns with a new opus of a different style. Always focused on demanding and original instrumental research, this time he explores the vibratory proliferation of his instrument in different forms. Each of the ten tracks presented on this disc reflects a specific know-how, imbued with a singular poetry, charged with the history of a curious and creative musician.
Tout corps vibrant is sold in a deluxe cardboard packaging, limited edition with a scree-printed cover drawned by the artist.

Sebastien Beliah : double bass
Sounds. Only sounds inhabit the space.
Sometimes they meet each other, sometimes they are travelling alone through this space, describing slowly the geography of the instrument that is producing them.
Since he started playing the double bass, Sebastien Beliah has always tried to invent his own music with his instrument. That's why, beside his work in different jazz or improvised music ensembles, he always kept a place, one by one with his instrument, where he can develop his personal ideas.
From there was born Nocturnes. Pieces with simple appearance and refined profils, in order to invite the listener to hear the infinite nook of the sound of the double bass.
Nocturnes is sold in a deluxe packaging made of refine paper and two ink-printed labels. The whole work has been handmade by Alicja Magiera and Robert Sawa in the printing factory Dom Słów in Lublin (Poland).
