Match&Fuse Toulouse 2016
Une programmation épique, où psychédélisme, électro et impro définissent de nouveaux modèles de jazz
– Baptiste Ostre, Clutch magazine

Our work connecting audiences and musicians across Europe suddenly feels like a political statement and we were excited to work with our French co-producers, Les Productions du Vendredi, to launch a 3-day festival in Toulouse with 16 acts from 8 countries.

With the music going on until dawn at Mix’Art Myrys and over 2,000 people attending the gigs, this was one of the best parties Match&Fuse has had.

Highlights included Comet is Coming (smashed it), Pixvae (with their Latin energy) and the Eirik Tofte Match&Fuse Orchestra directed by Florian from Pulcinella. He taught the audience soundpainting techniques so they could join in this proper shared experience.

The Bridge, a unique fusing of French and Chicago-based musicians including the respected reeds player, Mwata Bowden, returned to Match&Fuse after their successful encounter in 2015. And so did Leafcutter John (UK) who struck up a magical collaboration with Isabel Sörling (SE) in London 2015. Full line up information below.
