A musical experiment of raw freedom
法國(guó)自由即興爵士樂隊(duì)
Cagoules et Décalcomanies
French improv Jazz
Cagoules et Décalcomanies（巴拉克拉瓦帽和貼花）意為隱藏在兜帽之下的叛逆與孩童般玩樂精神的交融。那些轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的事物；孩童對(duì)不和諧的探索。樂隊(duì)的名字讓我們想起一起旅行的經(jīng)歷，尤其是去墨西哥的旅程，以及它所代表的長(zhǎng)久友誼。
Cagoules et Décalcomanies - Hoods and Decals - is the meeting of rebellion, hidden beneath hoods, and childhood, to play. Things that fade away; a child's discovery of discord. The name of the band is reminiscent of the trips we've taken together, especially to Mexico, as well as the long-standing friendships it represents.
《Cagoules et Décalcomanies》的音樂由長(zhǎng)笛手 Fanny Ménégoz 和薩克斯手 Nicolas Stephan 創(chuàng)作。我們希望創(chuàng)作出既平易近人又意義深遠(yuǎn)的音樂，其靈感源自我們多元的音樂背景，從爵士樂到即興音樂，再到留尼汪島的馬洛亞音樂。我們渴望歌唱，渴望在樂器演奏之外，運(yùn)用我們的嗓音，去觸及內(nèi)心深處，觸及普世的情感。
我們將繼續(xù)探索、嘗試，并將音樂會(huì)打造成一種值得體驗(yàn)的感受，一個(gè)連接我們與觀眾的橋梁。
The music of « Cagoules et Décalcomanies » is written by Fanny Menegoz and Nicolas Stephan. We wanted to create music that was both accessible and profound, influenced by our many musical backgrounds, from jazz to improvised music to Maloya from Reunion Island. We wanted to sing, to work with our voices in addition to our instruments, to get closer to the intimate, to the universal.
We continue to search, explore, and transform the concert into an experience to be lived. A meeting point between us and the audience.
我們的歌曲既適合那些想要探尋微妙的暗示、信息和隱喻的聽眾，也適合那些憑直覺聆聽并享受驚喜的聽眾。我們運(yùn)用歌曲創(chuàng)作的技巧，帶領(lǐng)聽眾進(jìn)入他們?cè)究赡懿粫?huì)涉足的領(lǐng)域，并讓他們感到舒適自在。
律動(dòng)是我們創(chuàng)作的基本原則之一。舞曲也始終貫穿其中。在既原始又深沉的奢華節(jié)奏的驅(qū)動(dòng)下，樂隊(duì)始終追求隨著節(jié)拍舞動(dòng)，讓身體隨之律動(dòng)，在看似消失的地方重新喚起律動(dòng)。
Our songs are designed for those who want to detect subtle references, messages, and innuendo, as well as those who listen instinctively and enjoy surprises. We use the codes of songwriting to take listeners where they might not otherwise go, and make them feel comfortable there.
One of our fundamental principles is groove. Dance is never far away either. Driven by a luxurious rhythm that is as raw as it is deep, the band always seeks to move to the beat, to make the body move, to create oscillation where it seemed to have disappeared.
一場(chǎng)關(guān)于原始自由的音樂實(shí)驗(yàn)
Cagoules et Décalcomanies 善于運(yùn)用文字、呼吸、人聲、摩擦鼓和打擊樂來探索音樂作為一種解放的途徑。他們的音樂干凈質(zhì)樸，又帶有反叛的能量和孩童般的玩樂精神。
樂隊(duì)成員之間有著長(zhǎng)久的友誼和共同的音樂理念，他們演奏時(shí)渾然一體。長(zhǎng)笛手 Fanny Ménégoz 和薩克斯手 Nicolas Stephan 的歌聲與他們的樂器交織在一起，而 Théo Girard 的低音提琴和 Rafaël Koerner 的鼓則營(yíng)造出持續(xù)不斷的脈動(dòng)。他們共同構(gòu)建出一種既脆弱又充滿力量、既親密又毫不妥協(xié)的合奏之聲。
Cagoules et Décalcomanies 的全長(zhǎng)專輯于 2025 年 10 月 17 日在 Neuklang 唱片公司發(fā)行。
A musical experiment of raw freedom
Cagoules et Décalcomanies explores music as liberation through writing, breath, voice, friction and percussion. Their sound is acoustic and unadorned, carrying the energy of rebellion and the playfulness of childhood.
Formed out of long-standing friendships and a shared vision of sound, the group plays as one. The voices of flutist Fanny Ménégoz and saxophonist Nicolas Stephan intertwine with their instruments, while Théo Girard’s double bass and Rafaël Koerner’s drums create a continuous pulse. Together they build an ensemble sound that is both fragile and powerful, intimate and uncompromising.
The full album by Cagoules et Décalcomanies was released on October 17, 2025 on the Neuklang label.

Fanny Ménégoz
長(zhǎng)笛演奏家、作曲家，歌手。
她是 Haoma 劇團(tuán)的創(chuàng)始成員，同時(shí)也是其領(lǐng)銜的四人樂隊(duì)Nobi的核心創(chuàng)作力量與詞曲作者（樂隊(duì)代表作《Vertes Brumes》, 2023 年發(fā)行，廠牌：Onze Heures Onze）。她與歌手 Ann O'aro 合作，成立了 Nobi 的衍生樂隊(duì) Le Sourire de la Wouivre. 此外，她還與 Rafaël Koerner 聯(lián)合領(lǐng)銜二重奏組合 Dune (《Voyage au creux d'un arbre》- 2021 - Neuklang 唱片公司)，2024 年秋季，他們與薩克斯演奏家 Sakina Abou 合作，推出新作品《Ailefroide et l'Ivresse》.
和聲的朦朧質(zhì)感、節(jié)奏的靈動(dòng)彈性，以及對(duì)“兼具自由與協(xié)作的集體化音樂架構(gòu)”的探索，是她在音樂創(chuàng)作中始終熱衷的核心命題。
Flutist, composer, and almost a singer.
A founding member of Cie Haoma, she is the driving force and songwriter behind her 4-piece band Nobi (‘Vertes Brumes’ - 2023 - Label Onze Heures Onze). She created a spin-off of this group with singer Ann O'aro, Le Sourire de la Wouivre. She co-directs the duo Dune with Rafaël Koerner (‘Voyage au creux d'un arbre’ - 2021 - Label Neuklang) and in autumn 2024 they will create a new repertoire with saxophonist Sakina Abou, ‘Ailefroide et l'Ivresse’.
The ambiguity of harmony, the elasticity of time, and the quest for a collective musical organization combining freedom and solidarity are her favourite themes in her musical research.

他是 Surnatural Orchestra 與 Le Bruit du Sign 的創(chuàng)始成員 —— 后者是 21 世紀(jì)初極具影響力的當(dāng)代爵士六重奏樂隊(duì)。他不僅創(chuàng)作了小說《于細(xì)節(jié)處見鋒芒》 (De la violence dans les détails), 還發(fā)行了多張音樂專輯。

鼓手、聲音探索者
他曾在巴黎與紐約接受系統(tǒng)性的音樂深造，在此期間，與 Jim Black、Ralph Alessi、Tyshawn Sorey 以及 Marc Ducret 等一眾音樂人結(jié)緣，這些交流經(jīng)歷也深深影響了他的音樂軌跡。此后，他的演奏足跡遍布雷鬼、搖滾、當(dāng)代爵士等多元曲風(fēng)的樂隊(duì)。如今，他投身于多個(gè)音樂項(xiàng)目，精力在其中自如分配 —— 包括與 Fanny Ménégoz 合作的二重奏組合 Dune、法國(guó)國(guó)家爵士樂團(tuán) (Fred Maurin)、Big Four (Julien Soro)、樂隊(duì) Tikkun 與 Anti Rubber Brain Factory (Yoram Rosilio)、Odyssée 808 (Enzo Carniel – Maciek Lasserre)、Free Flow & Fly (Andrew Crocker), 同時(shí)他也與 François Puyalto 保持著長(zhǎng)期合作。好奇心、開放的音樂態(tài)度，以及對(duì)集體共鳴的不懈追尋，構(gòu)成了他演奏風(fēng)格的核心驅(qū)動(dòng)力。
Drummer and explorer of sound.
After a broad musical training in Paris and New York, where encounters with musicians such as Jim Black, Ralph Alessi, Tyshawn Sorey and Marc Ducret left their mark, he has played in formations ranging from reggae and rock to contemporary jazz. Today he divides his energy between many projects, among them Dune with Fanny Ménégoz, the Orchestre National de Jazz (Fred Maurin), Big Four (Julien Soro), Tikkun and Anti Rubber Brain Factory (Yoram Rosilio), Odyssée 808 (Enzo Carniel – Maciek Lasserre), Free Flow & Fly (Andrew Crocker) and collaborations with François Puyalto. His playing is driven by curiosity, openness and a search for collective resonance.
