DOWN (Full album) showcases the cosmic encounter between two preachers of improvisation and rhythm, dancer Mélissa Guex and drummer Clément Grin. Together, they lift hearts, sharing an explosive, generous, and extraordinary performance, somewhere between a rave and a punk concert. If down is the first word to describe a descent after ecstasy, this brightly coloured duo in party costumes offer a radical response to the sensation of the body letting go, beating the drum to rediscover joy in a collective burst.
