OakTree is born from the encounter in 2008 of
cellist Annemie Osborne (LU), accordion player Thibault Dille (BE)
and singer Sarah Klenes (BE) around improvised music.
Their first album "À dos d'âmes" is released on the Label MognoMusic in
September 2012 in Theâtre le Marni (Brussels); a mix of original
compositions and free improvisations, covering also a composition by Dave
Douglas and one by Antonio Carlos Jobim. In April 2014, they record the
new album "Well" in collaboration
with guest musicians of their tour. Today, their music is at the
crossroads of their musical backgrounds and interests and encounters:
classical music, jazz, music from the Balkans, world music and free
improvisation.
The originality of the instrumentation and their research of sound
textures give birth to colors that blend and converse, complement and
surprise each other; the three musicians play their instruments in
sometimes alternative ways and occasionally invert commonly accepted
roles. OakTree has been referred to as a 'funambulist'-trio for their
readiness to take risks, by opening a creative space for surprise, folly
and fantasy, without ever dismissing lyricism nor sensitivity.
All in all, taking their audiences beyond ordinary pathways, OakTree
invites them to journey in a universe sensitive and creative, playful and
passionate, at times dynamic, at times gently swaying, adventurous and
occasionally off-balance, acting like a generous funambulist opening your
imagination to dream and dance.
