LISBON - VLADIVOSTOK - ULAANBAATAR - SAMARKAND - TEHERAN - ISTANBUL
March-July 2021
A new concept: travelling/composing/writing/filming somewhere else, as far as possible, where neither the Music Industry nor the Artistic Agencies will ever take any western musician, really gone-out in countries defined impossible to reach, considered much too dangerous - but especially of derisory earnings and thus unimportant interest. So they say.
"Transcontinental": travelers and curious inveterate, Zoé Martinot, Gianna Greco, Denis Siggi Alekseev and François R. Cambuzat want to prove that despite these times, it is still possible to cross a whole continent in concerts. Over 40,000 kilometers and over 21 borders for more than 70 performances in less than 3 months.
Besides the concerts & workshops, this whole journey will of course be filmed and edited.
Some former achievements of the Trans-Aeolian Transmission:
- "Xinjiang, Taklamakan & Karakoram" - shamanism & Dolans, Xinjiang, China
- "Ifriqiyya Electrique" - adorciste ritual of possession, Djrid, Sahara, Tunisia
- "Alevilik Aşkına" - alevism, Dersim, Kurdistan, Turkey
60% of the concerts on our route are confirmed, but we still have availabilities.
Within a radius of 1000 kilometers, everything is still possible.

« Traveling is not an innocent activity (…). But all those who led this life will give a finger of each hand to get back
on the tracks one day: nobody never recovered from this experience. » Nicolas Bouvier
« Impose your luck, hold tight your happiness and go towards your risk.
Looking at you, all three will get used to it. » René Char
This transcontinental is fueled by "Газель Смерти - Gazelle of Death" from Denis Siggi Alekseev.
EPK
- Concerts & workshop proposed on Tour -
In each city, and for each venue, we offer one of the following four activities.
More than one concert is also possible.
FeministElectronicIndustrialAvantRockTechnoWorldSauvagerie
Concert. Avant-rock.
Voices, guitars, bass, drums & computer. The Putan Club
declines feminism, electricity, electronics & avant-garde
- as if Skrillex violated The Birthday Party: groove and
high tension. Trance, Dance and Defiance.
"Dance ? Drone? Industrial? Postpunk? Avantpunk? Doom?
Aggressive-ambient-rock? Avant-world-music ? Whatever
the label, it’s definitely great music....And striding among the
audience, Gianna Greco give us post-Birthday Party swagger
and some of the heaviest bass since Lemmy, while
François R. Cambuzat sings avant-left lyrics and sweats
buckets, while spraying us with sharp guitar riffing that
threatens to lift you off the ground... A sense of immersion in
sound and attitude to which you can do nothing but submit...Free, unfettered, and couldn’t care about anything except playing the music – a festival crowd or a room of 20... Three of the most unassuming, charming and lovely people I’ve ever met. In the 21st century, there’s no need for contrived unpleasantness or cult of personality, just music that moves the listener expressed without restraint…" Dave Foxal - A J. Noise (UK)

TRANS-AEOLIAN TRANSMISSION
Xinjiang, Taklamakan & Karakoram (People's Republic of China)
Concert+Movie around Uyghur musics.
A creation from the Xinjiang region with Uyghur musicians
(shamans, bards and dolans), then rebuilt with computers
and electrical instruments to compose a neo-shamanic
and post-industrial music. On stage, three musicians play their
concert / documentary / road-movie with their film shot
for years between Kashgar, Marqit & Iarkam, in the depths
of the Taklamakan desert, in the Karakoram mountains
and on the Pakistani, Tajik and Kyrgyz borders towards
the hearts of the last stopover cities of the Silk Road.
Some apparitions: Musée des Confluences (F),
Offest (MK), Croisements Festival (PRC),
Jardins Efemeros Festival (PT), Théâtre Anthéa Antibes (F)...
FRAN DE LA FRONTERA
Flamenca guitar concert.
Fran de la Frontera lives in the Saint-Jacques district from
Perpignan, France, in the department of Eastern Pyrenees.
Ancient continental capital of the kingdom of Majorca, due to
its important gypsy community, for centuries Perpignan has
been a bridge between the Iberian Peninsula and the south
of France. Music reigns over the Saint-Jacques district,
and the music of the neighborhood is of course gypsy,
between catalan rumba and flamenco.
Fran de la Frontera juggles the palos flamencos
-buleria, solea, sevillana, guajira, tiento, farruca et allegria-
learned from the hands of master Alain Diaz..
THE GREAT ORCHESTRA OF DISASTER
