The Plan

Deeply inspired by nature and large landscapes, the ASURA quartet is an ode to time, an invitation to contemplation, a deeply emotions search. Gathered around the compositions of the guitarist Martin Arnoux, the band is composed by a drummer, an alto-saxophonist and a double bassist. This quartet purposes a rich music with a lot of different influences (Jazz, Rock, Fusion..) whose narrative arc is instant music and improvisation. With their softness, guitar and saxophone are getting mixed to double bass and drums. It shapes a wooded base, ready to escort the lyrism of these original tracks.
