Second album by French-American duo Chansons du Crepuscule being Helene Breschand and Elliott Sharp

Hélène Breschand is a French harpist, composer and improviser. Breschand leads a career both as a solo artist as well as in ensemble work, playing both a contemporary repertoire and premiering new works as much as she plays improvised music and musical theater. She is a musician who plays on the verge of several genres ranging from contemporary music to jazz. She plays both written and improvised music. Elliott Sharp is is an American contemporary classical composer, multi-instrumentalist, performer, author, and visual artist. He is a central figure in the avant-garde and experimental music scene in New York City since the late 1970s. Sharp has released over eighty-five recordings ranging from contemporary classical, avant-garde, free improvisation, jazz, experimental, and orchestral music to noise, no wave, and electronic music. He has used algorithms and fibonacci numbers in experimental composition since the 1970s, and has cited literature as an inspiration for his music and often favors improvisation. Chansons du Crepuscule is the duo's second group album after their self titled debut in 2014. Chansons du Crépuscule tends toward an angular, hard-edged expressionism carrying the strong imprint of Sharp's sonic alchemy and Breschand's Dadaesque vocals. But they can switch registers at will, diverseness is the other side of their virtuosity.
