TOC Trio + Paulina Owczarek
Jérémie Ternoy – Fender Rhodes
Ivann Cruz – electric guitar
Peter Orins – drums
Paulina Owczarek – saxophone
TOC is a French jazz-core trio formed in 2008. Dense sound, raw physicality and bold trance states, underpinned by a joyful, compelling tension, define their energetic approach to improvised music. Noise, post-rock, psychedelia, experimental pop, krautrock and hardcore jazz: the musicians love blurring boundaries and taking listeners somewhere entirely unexpected.
As the title of one of their albums suggests, TOC never plays the same thing twice. They continually start afresh, allowing experiences from each tour to transform their music. Their hypnotic free-pop is seasoned with intoxicating grooves and a touch of kraut-jazz-core.
Their recordings include journeys into the acoustic landscapes of the far North, Qeqertarsuatsiaat (2015) and The Theory of Constraints (2024), and the sultry atmosphere of Louisiana’s swamps in Air Bump (2016). Enriched by concerts, experiments and encounters, they return to an electric, urban sound. Their collaborators have included Dave Rempis, Jean-Luc Guionnet and Paulina Owczarek, who joins them for this evening.
