In 2007/2008 Full Fathom Five presented a project titled BISON RAVI, inspired by the works of the French writer and musician Boris Vian (1920-1959). Full Fathom Five pays homage to this provocative poet with a repertoire in which contemporary jazz, psychedelic folk and experimental rock music combine into a sound of its own.
Rather than going back to the 40’s and 50’s, Full Fathom Five aims to translate Vian’s spirit and his esthetic, his humour, lyricism, brutality and cross-grainedness into a contemporary sound.
Herman te Loo wrote in Jazzflits (dec 2007):
“… a strong new quintet on the cutting edge of improvised music, rock, modern chamber music and electronica.”
