“Seb Brun, an art of rythm both organic and mechanic wich strikes the heart of contemporary music"  

French drummer, composer and producer Seb Brun has spent over two decades developing a singular artistic language at the crossroads of experimental percussion, electroacoustic music and radical electronics. Founder of the influential Carton Records, one of Europe's landmark experimental labels with nearly eighty releases, and leader of the avant-rock and rough techno project Parquet, Brun has consistently explored the physical and perceptual boundaries of sound.

Working as both musician and craftsman, Seb Brun treats drums, metal objects, electronics and amplification as a single interconnected instrument. His practice is rooted in the materiality of sound and the physical engagement of performance, exploring repetition, accumulation, distortion, temporal expansion and the coexistence of multiple scales of listening. The drum kit ceases to function as a timekeeping instrument, becoming instead a generator of tension, instability and energy. Improvisation remains central to his work. Rather than seeking complete control, Brun embraces instability, allowing feedback, saturation and unforeseen sonic events to reshape the performance in real time. Through this constantly evolving dialogue between body, instrument and technology, he questions the role of rhythm, the agency of the performer and the possibility of active listening within an increasingly saturated sonic environment.
