Sascha Ley &
Laurent Payfert
“An amazing concert. Experimentation. We are in an urban jungle. We are in a bar. We are on the roof of a building in London. We are on a street, and the music is with us. As long as there are voices like Sascha’s and instruments such as Laurent's, everything will be fine.”
Voice | double bass
Sascha Ley & Laurent Payfert present the subtle art of combining vocals and double bass. Their dreamlike and suggestive soundscapes occasionally move on the experimental side, with sound painting, the use of extended vocal and instrumental techniques and narrative art. more

Dreamlike soundscapes. Sascha Ley and Laurent Payfert offer something unusual. A truly eccentric duo with a combination of vocals and double bass showed this difficult art at a high level. They promised dreamlike and suggestive soundscapes, which reach the enthusiastic jazz audience indeed, which in turn showers the musicians with much applause.
