POMPEI

 

 

Pompei is a trio of improvised music.

 

GOAL

According to Karlheinz Stockhausen, music was brought to humans by extraterrestrials about 40,000 years ago to purify the hearts of men.
It would now be up to men to make the most beautiful music possible to hasten the second coming of the Extraterrestrials.
We Pompei adhere unreservedly to this vision of things. We strive to make the most beautiful music possible.


MUSICAL STYLE

Free Pop.

 

We compose songs, sometimes hits, collectively and in real time. Nothing lasts.

We also sometimes travel in the 24 lieder of the Winterreise by Franz Schubert.

IDEOLOGY

Unlike the fascists who conceive artistic creation as a victory of order over chaos (Renaud Camus), we Pompei abandon to entropy our improvised compositions
whose organization, like living beings, is always local and momentary. A throw of the dice will never abolish chance.
