Legami is a trio for free improvised music formed by Anaïs del Sordo and Célestine de Williencourt on vocals and myself at the cello. Its music collects influences from jazz, contemporary music as well as from eastern europe and world music. We look for inspiration in nature, literature, or fine arts to provide structure and content to our pieces and concerts. After meeting at several improvisation workshops such as Mixtur Barcelona (2021), Météo Mulhouse 2022 or Jöelle Léandre’s improvisation workshop in Paris (Feb 2022), we imagined a potential in doing part of our sound research together. We like to dedicate time together to figure out new sounds and an own voice.

In April 2023 we undertook a one-week residency in Magrin (France) where we focused on collective music creation basing on nature-inspired sounds and organic processes. The week included a few days of research, a recording day and a concert. The audios “Oaes supaei”, “Dots and drops” and “Making bonds” are some of the recordings done during that period.

In October 2023 we developed in Paris our project roots, where we searched for inspiration in the ways and structures in which trees get anchored into the ground to imagine possible musical structures and relations between ourselves. At the same time, roots alludes to our different musical and cultural origins (contemporary/classical, jazz, world music, modal music…) which come together to create a common voice.
