Crystal journey from lighthouse to lighthouse at Festival Un Violon sur le Sable. The star of the evening is Loup Barrow and his instrument, the Cristal Baschet…
Loup Barrow demonstrates his mastery of his instrument, whose rich timbres and sonorities, textures and colors evoke an orchestral universe: he plays, without score, a rich program of film music, classical, contemporary and popular works (Interstellar, Philip Glass, Max Richter, Requiem for a Dream, Radiohead, Astor Piazzolla…).
The artist combines the richness of his performance with a warm contact, enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge with the audience, just as he shares his emotions in his natural playing: alone or in true musical complicity with the string quartet. The writing, even classical in this reinvented setting, finds suppleness and vitality.

The art of the gesture, the craft of the melody, the introspective quest: the key to Loup Barrow’s universe probably lies in the conjunction of these three experiences and in his playing, his way of playing with resonances and sonorities and managing to weave a link between the incredible, almost
supernatural beauty of sound and the depth of his own soul.
