The album Souvenirs Dormants by KiKu4tet offers an enchanting dive into an imaginary folklore, drawing its inspiration from the numerous journeys, tours, and encounters experienced by Cyril and Yannick. The title itself evokes memories that lay dormant, lurking in the unconscious, only to resurface in the form of tales and imaginary legends. The quartet, comprised of Yannick, Cyril, Ben, and Brandon, embodies this fusion of cultures and imaginations. Indeed, Ben and Brandon, residing in Taiwan, bring with them their own travel experiences and worldview. Their previous encounters during earlier tours have shaped their musical approach, nourished by the stories and landscapes discovered along the paths traveled. Through this album, KiKu4tet invites us on a sonic journey where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. Melodies intertwine with memories, weaving a musical narrative imbued with mystery and poetry. Each piece is an invitation to escape, to explore the recesses of the mind where dreams and forgotten legends reside. Souvenirs Dormants thus becomes a reection of a dreamlike universe where music awakens dormant memories and inscribes them into the eeting dance of melodies, elevating them to the realm of eternal moments.
