"Stratosfear" by KWOON

KWOON

The Parisian post-rock combo Kwoon, with Sandy Lavallart as main brain of the project, was born in 2006, the year of its first self produced album Tales and Dreams. A first chapter that stunned as it traced the lines of a universe free and colorful, finely illustrated by the video clip many times awarded I Lived on the Moon. Warmly praised by the press, already with comparisons to groups such as Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You ! 

Black Emperor, this first opus allowed Kwoon to present themselves on stage, and to find their public already awaiting them beyond the frontiers of France. 3 years have passed, and the group has left the studio to defend their new tracks live. A tour of acoustic and electric dates will lead them to the stages of France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, England, Scotland, Russia, Poland, and opening for MOGWAI in Greece... 

Rises of exhilarating intensity, where the solemnity of the cello flirts with the majestic flight of the guitars, all carried by a voice hushed and intimate... Kwoon's second album, delicate and mature, was released with the first glimmer of winter, not surprising that its title evoked an era already past When the flowers were singing. Then a more pop rock and nervous E.P "THE GUILLOTINE SHOW".

In 2020, Sandy launched a live solo project into very epic landscapes that could be seen on Youtube. Writing actually the 3rd album, coming out by the end of 2021

Stratosfear

Der stratosphärische, poetische und musikalische Flug seiner Gitarre über die Bucht von Quiberon (nah Lorient) ist die neueste Performance des bretonischen Künstlers Sandy Lavallart. Gern wäre er bei diesem Flug mit dabei gewesen, das Gewicht war jedoch vorgegeben, 1 kg, so wurde also die Gitarre auserkoren die Reise in die Stratosphäre anzutreten.

Eine Ballonfahrt vor Quiberon, beeindruckende Bilder, eindringliche Musik, vereint in seinem Universum, seiner "kleine Welt", die er Kwoon nennt. Die Vorbereitungen dazu dauerten über ein Jahr, zahlten sich aber schlussendlich aus. 

Das finale Ergebnis, ein Genuss für die Sinne, Ohren wie auch Augen werden verführt, die Reize zu prägenden Eindrücken verarbeitet. Ein Projekt das zur künstlerischen  Performance reifte.
