Antoine Berjeaut feat. Mike Ladd - Wasteland (2014)

Discreet adventurer trumpet emancipated Antoine Berjeaut like Paul Motian Jazz, Hip hop by Madlib, and Flying Lotus éléctrocosmique music. For his first record, unless its features trumpeter, yet many (beautiful sound mate, culture notes and just sentence, refusing any form of bluff) is his world that invites us to explore . (…) Antoine Berjeaut a genuine new talent to watch closely. Frédéric Goaty -Jazzmag

"The young trumpeter Antoine Berjeaut who signs her album at Fresh Sound New Talent has succeeded: create a truly unique atmosphere, sensual, made ​​of groove and poetry and harsh signed Mike Ladd.

'Wasteland' is an uncompromising album that cuts to the heart and carries with deep lyrics and music to "urban" modernity. Long meandering trumpet a tribute in this album where it acts as a focal point of attention is followed carefully, real pivot. There Berjeaut in a way to play in a very peaceful, papering the musical space. Totally dedicated to his music and worry-free implementation egocentric value, Antoine Berjeaut projects us in multiple climates he creates by playing an extremely wide and varied range of his instrument, relying here on electrical sound pixelations and foggy, then the sound of the tenor Julien Lourau elsewhere on scrolls keyboard Dumoulin or finally the texts Mike Ladd who, spoke sang opens on a hard, violent and troubled world. Arrangements and writing of this set are interesting, expressive and almost cinematic.

The pulse is always present, underlying pregnant as a kind of heart beating (Balcony). And all works well and supports a kind of subconscious imagery made ​​of imaginary projections.

It's easy to get lost in this world to the misty sensuality and to experience this dive in Wasteland. "
