Eric Verdin and Maria-Carmen Barboro meet together for a Max Jacob and Erik Satie program, two major figures of the French early twentieth century. Their unique journey takes a singular look at two great artists who are largely unknown. It is an unconventional, non-didactic, non-exhaustive look, but with much sensitivity. This project intersects other art from French writers and musicians, fed by the same painful events, the same aesthetic questions are answered in new and interesting ways. This particular ensemble couldn't possibly end an album without a contemporary artist, and on this release Alain Feron was commissioned to write a piece about a text by Max Jacob. He chose "Vieux monde brise." (Old Broken World).
