5 musicien·nes · 3 concerts · 1 album release party 🤘 Le mercredi 27 mai, on invite SAUGES pour célébrer la sortie de leur nouvel album Pizza Soleil, aux côtés d’Audrey Poujoula et Habra. SAUGES, duo formé par Sigg Valax (synthé) et Jules Wysocki (cymbalum amplifié), déploie une improvisation acoustique et électronique faite de résonances, de bruit, de pulsations et de textures mouvantes. Une musique libre et organique qui se construit dans l’instant, dans l’écoute de l’autre. Leurs nouvelles album PIzza soleil est sortie sur le label Wabi-Sabi Tapes Audrey Poujoula est artiste sonore et plasticienne depuis une dizaine d’années. Elle transforme la machine à écrire en instrument hypnotique pour créer des paysages sonores immersifs, fragiles et mécaniques. Habra, duo formé par le clarinettiste suisse Paed Conca et le batteur libanais Akram Hajj, crée un dialogue intense entre free grooves psychédéliques, polyrythmies et explorations sonores. Une soirée entre improvisation, transe, friction et poésie sonore. 📍 The Wrong Side 12 avenue de la Porte de Montmartre 🕗 20h 🎟 12€ cash Affiche by @lookmaitmoves 🎖 سلام

Charbel Haber is a Lebanese musician, composer, and artist whose work navigates memory, decay, and the unstable afterlives of sound across music, film, and performance. A central figure in Lebanon’s experimental and alternative scenes since the late 1990s, he first emerged as co-founder of the influential post-rock group Scrambled Eggs, contributing to albums and film soundtracks that helped shape a generation of Beirut’s independent music. Across solo projects and collaborations, Haber has developed a distinct language spanning electroacoustic composition, guitar-based experimentation, and long-form sonic structures. His solo album Of Palm Trees and Decomposition (Discrepant, 2016) and the retrospective cassette Songs of Love, Stories of Decay (Sucata Tapes, 2017) map a trajectory between experimental rock and electronic composition. He has collaborated extensively with Fadi Tabbal, including releases as The Bunny Tylers on Ruptured Records and the album Enfin la nuit (Nahal Recordings, 2023). Haber has taken part in residencies and collaborations with EMS (Stockholm), GRM and the Tarek Atoui Studio (Paris), the Cité Internationale des Arts, and the Onassis Foundation. Based between Beirut and Paris, his work interrogates how personal and collective histories resonate through sound.
