Didier Lasserre

Farther along academicisms, sectarianisms and programmed violence, Didier Lasserre is a rare musician in every sense (witness his works and performances, often limited to limited editions and featuring a single cymbal and drum): a poet and a painter of the drums (both literally and figuratively), and a gourmet for idiophones, for a music which is “the unexpected and the revelatory, the daughter of moment and eternity” (Pierre Lemarchand)
