about

PRIMA KANTA is a band created by Laurent Rochelle in 2019 to explore a repertoire of repetitive modal music in which improvisation plays an main role. The compositions are inspired in particular by the writing technique used by Terry Riley in "IN C" (1968), written modules that the musician interprets freely respecting the initial tempo while playing in interaction with others.

The music is widely inspired by the "Tao te King", a book of Chinese philosophy which describes Taoism what the titles in Chinese also explain

With Prima Kanta, a kind of neo-classical orchestra, Laurent Rochelle sets off on the Tao path in search of new musical and spiritual sensations.
Each composition originally written for the show "Pyrénées magic mountain" has been redesigned with new musicians for this musical project inspired by the great book of Chinese philosophy the "Tao Te King", developed several centuries BC by Lao Tseu.

The recording is built on 7 compositions which evoke 7 different states of life, Jian (awakening), Xiao Xu (flight), Da Xu (growing up), Li (attachment-detachment), Yu (crossing its limits) , Kan (to nourish the feminine), Tong (to harmonize the elements).
Finally the journey ends with “The melody of the Tao”, because the Tao is one and unifies everything
