After two acclaimed albums on the Vision Fugitive label – Univers Solitude* in 2018 and Ricercare* in 2021 – guitarist Philippe Mouratoglou returns with Nautiles, a new program based on original compositions.

In a trio, with Ramon Lopez on drums and Bruno Chevillon on double bass, the three musicians offer a work dominated by the beauty of sound, breathing, and the creation of large spaces. And because they also know how to create an invigorating and groovy rhythmic dynamic, balanced by moments of the utmost elegance, the result is music that is both dreamy - whatever the tempo - and intensely inhabited, harmoniously uniting the ethereal and the telluric.

Carried by a rhythmic tandem as fine as it is audacious, Philippe Mouratoglou offers music that owes as much to the attraction to the absolute of classical music as to a jazz heir to Great Black Music in its contemporary face, captivating by its very demands and charm.
