Today we are proud to release the 1st album of Hapax, a free improvisation group from Montreuil, France. One of its particularities is to include a video artist who improvises with the musicians. This visual element is also documented in the release by 3 videos.

“Hapax was founded in 2017 and is dedicated to making visual and musical improvisations. We follow no instructions, no score, no director. Our only rule is to listen to and respect each other. We use our instruments, our voice, and also everyday objects. Accidents and mistakes are welcome. Images and sounds are sometimes in harmony, sometimes not. Anything can happen…”
