The Melpomen has emerged from the collaboration between two musicians/artists Marc Lohner and Thomas Lefevre. A complicity that began in 2018, during their studies at the Beaux Arts de Paris.
Their joint research is essentially based on their desire to infuse the world with more ritual, communion, and sharing. This is accompanied by a desire to seek out more beautiful and fairer ways for humans to inhabit the Earth.
Their artistic practice is developed through the creation of atypical musical instruments, which leads to performances and improvised concerts.
They explore the links between original know-how and contemporary technology, drawing inspiration from both archaic and current musical references, as much by noise as by paleo-musicology.
