Cyril Bondi

Constantly in search of new spaces to explore, he uses his instrument as a way to touch upon surrealist worlds. The pulsation, a simple tribal dance that solicits the mind, is deconstructed and reappears with a start underlining the complexity of his sound. He evolves as a tightrope walker, sweeping the void around him with his arms, giving it a human or bestial face. Cyril Bondi plays the drums and percussions since 1994. He is a founding member of the band Plaistow (post-jazz) and diatribes. He organises and leads the Insub Meta Orchestra and he's one of the coordinators of the Insubordinations Microfestival.
