Le Monde Merveilleux de Pépito – Septet

Le Monde Merveilleux de Pépito – Septet •

Le Monde Merveilleux de Pépito, composer, trumpeter, and flugelhorn player Pierre-Antoine Savoyat’s quartet, now expanded to a septet, is preparing to release their second album in 2026. This album takes their emotional depth and narrative richness a step further. Three exceptional musicians join the core quartet: Alexandra Grimal (saxophones), Lucia Pires (flute), and Lynn Cassiers (vocals & electronics). Venturing into more adventurous and creative waters, the ensemble builds new fantastical worlds with the touch of these three extraordinary women musicians. As a continuously expanding musical journey, Le Monde Merveilleux de Pépito invites listeners to tune in to their new adventures.

The septet builds upon the quartet's unique sound, creating an electro-acoustic world and forming a broader, atmospheric, and bolder sonic structure. Grimal’s saxophones, Pires’ flute, and Cassiers’ remarkable vocals and electronic manipulations offer the ensemble a multi-dimensional sonic narrative, resulting in an exciting project where the spontaneous blends seamlessly with the meticulously orchestrated.
