Biography Quentin Ghomari, Yoni Zelnik & Antoine Paganotti
Ôtrium
was born above all out of the need felt by trumpeter Quentin Ghomari to go further in the singular expression of his music, after a career littered with compositions in bands and sideman performances.
In 2020, he took advantage of this step aside imposed by the context to advance in his creation and his reflection: Ôtrium will be a tight and stripped down formation, which will later prove to be the appropriate setting for this search for authenticity.
It is thanks to the listening skills and inventiveness of Yoni Zelnik (double bass) and Antoine Paganotti (drums) that the sound of this trio comes to life: acoustic, raw and direct, made of pure melodic lines that resonate with each other and play with silence.
Sometimes meditative and dreamlike, sometimes wild and obstinate, Ôtrium's music is free and has the fragility of a speech without a net, leaving the primacy to expressiveness, exchange and spontaneity.
