The OTTO duo was formed around a chaconne revisited a few years ago before venturing into the suites for lute and cello by J-S Bach.

It is during his learning of the classical guitar in childhood that Ivann Cruz approached some of these compositions. He then decided to dive back into these melodic entanglements by confronting them with the pulsating ornaments of Frédéric L’Homme. They return from this temporal journey with this collection of 13 more or less eventful tracks.

Between a few preludes to tune the drums to the polyphonic flows of the late baroque master, they freely reinvent in this first record some electric dance steps on tormented bourrées, dreamy gigues and other exuberant allemandes.

The arrangements play with mischief and without complexes on the tensions between near and far: youthf scores and contemporary rereading, learned compositions and popular dances, melodic clarity and troubled sonorities, harmonic unity and rhythmic plurality.
