Torche! is a Euro-Quebec supergroup bringing together French clarinetist Xavier Charles, Austrian trumpeter Franz Hautzinger, and Quebec musicians Philippe Lauzier (bass clarinet), Éric Normand (bass), and Michel F. Côté (drums). All specialists in extended techniques and textured noise, the quintet delivers music that is mesmerizing, hypnotic, and abstract.
"It’s a highly evolved art…" - Stuart Brommer, Musicworks
"…captivating bursts of fire, crackling energy, and beautiful incandescence—enough to turn anyone into a pyromaniac!" - Revue & Corrigée, France
