JULIEN LOUTELIER

Obsession with manner of playing music, craving for sounds, search for instantaneity and movement lead Julien Loutelier to embrace all genres and aesthetics, with an open mind.
Contemporary music, jazz, rock, free improvisation deeply colored his way of playing the drums. He can be found both in the french and american jazz scene (Emile Parisien Quartet, Riccardo Del Fra, Glenn Ferris, Jim Mc Neely) and in improvisation  (ONCEIM, Dousteyssier/Loutelier, Tournesol, AUM, Benjamin Duboc, Julien Desprez), in organised free jazz (COAX collectiv, Actuum), or electro and pop music (Cabaret Contemporain, Luna Maze)…
In constant personal research, he is particularly interested in acoustic and electronic « filtering » and also likes to meet aesthetics and modes of genres in his projects and compositions (symphonic piece aXeleration – 2010).
Since 2007, he has confronted himself with other forms of arts in their process of creation, such as dance, or visual arts that he has been practising since 2009 (performances in Paris Museum of Modern Art, the Louvre gallery Artegalore, La Defense), but also in cinema (ciné-concerts Federico Fellini, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Mervyn Leroy) or video (Zeitlinie, Innovatoires 2011) …
Julien has already played in many festivals, clubs and places in France (Europa Jazz Festival, La Villette Jazz Festival, Cité de la Musique, Théâtre National du Châtelet, la Grande Halle, Centre Georges Pompidou, le Louvre, Sunset / Sunside, Musée d’Orsay) and also in Europe (Portugal : Casa Da Musica; Finland : Tampere Jazz Festival ; Belgium : Halles de Schaerbeek, Jazz Station, MIM ; Germany : Spizz ; Sweden : Fylkingen, Italy : Expo Milano 15, Umbria Jazz, Dancity Festival, Roma Jazz Festival) and in International (USA (New-York : NY Bang On A Can Marathon ; Pianos…), Canada (Calagary, Honens Festival)), Panama (Théâtre national, ATLAPA)) …
