Born in 2017 when DJ/producer CHLOÉ and Bulgarian percussionist VASSILENA SERAFIMOVA came together to revisit STEVE REICH’s “Music for 18 Musicians,” the album SEQUENZA – a mesmerizing fusion of sequencers and marimbas, of scholarly classical music and electronic club grooves – released in October 2021 on Lumière Noire, now sees some of its flagship tracks brilliantly remixed by KRIKOR, ASA MOTO, DONATO DOZZY, IRÈNE DRÉSEL and PIONAL.
“Musical love at first sight” is one way to describe the genesis of the duo formed by CHLOÉ and Bulgarian percussionist VASSILENA SERAFIMOVA. An impromptu meeting that has since turned into a lasting collaboration, culminating in the release of their first joint album this fall after four years of on-stage and in-studio complicity.
Balani reveals the perfect synthesis of the two artists’ specific musical artistry: the intoxicating sounds of VASSILENA's marimba arranged and shaped by CHLOÉ's electronic production. The electronic beats and sequences which start out understated, wind around several percussion loops with added effects, all gradually escalating to culminate in a wild euphoria.
