As a young teenager, he explored noise and psychedelic rock and formed the music group Antichronique with his brother Milaim, then he decided to study this art more deeply at the Jazz studio. in Antwerp and at Jazz Bxl.<\/p>\n<p>Not being very satisfied with teaching and too curious to discover other music, he then traveled to Argentina, India, Mexico and studied at the National Institute of Arts in Bamako and at the School of La Derni\u00e8re Trumpette in Ouagadougou in West Africa to immerse yourself in traditional music. On his return, he created the independent Brussels label Matilemstudio.<\/p>\n<p>A professional drummer, he explores this instrument in more than ten groups and, more recently, practices other instruments such as acoustic guitar, percussion but also electronic treatments. He devotes himself to his solo project, Grand Than, which combines poetry, song and soundscapes.<\/p>\n<p>He is also part of the world music quartet Les Fr\u00e8res Barezzi, the Oriental\/flamenco group Rihhal Duo with Karam Al Zouhir and Guillaume Van Espen&#8217;s contemplative\/meditative music project Ocean Voices Duo.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pJFaKMJIghc&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Texte Info Prod&#8221; module_class=&#8221;post-txt post-txt-info&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Infos<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>04.12.2023 &gt; 28.01.2024<\/li>\n<li>Transonic Lab Essaouira<\/li>\n<li>Saad ben Abi waqas, Essaouira 44100, Maroc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Production<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transcultures\/Transonic &#8211; in the framework of City Sonic 20 Years<\/li>\n<li>With the support of European Pepinieres of Creation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music is nothing other than sounds that we have structured and to which we have defined a scale.
