Magic Malik - XPS Live (2021)

In September 2006 octurn invites magic malik for a 5-day residency / malik will transform this working and recording session into a dizzying experience for the group: he distributes to the blowers a set of melodic and harmonic counterpoints, and to the rhythm a talea color ensemble with a unique modus operandi as a rule of the game: the tempos are free and fluctuating, all the materials are designed to coexist quietly together, the forms are built on the spot, the improvisation flows are spontaneous, no predictability, it is a collective leap into the unknown and permanent surprises, the acceptance of collisions and the jubilation of ephemeral juxtapositions orchestrated and directed by malik, who discovers in real time the fascination exerted by his proposal to let go of musicians / 'xps (live)' documents 5 days of collective apnea around the birth of an arborescent concept that lived happily and oup of children.
