Clément Merienne - Autre collectif

He graduated from the CNSM of Paris in jazz and improvised music in 2020, and then from the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo in 2022. He quickly raises questions about freedom and the exploration of timbres in improvisation, drawing inspiration from musicians such as Benoit Delbecq, Fred Hersch, and the group The Necks. His interest in composition, for both small and large ensembles, enhances his improvisations, in which he aims to create evolving structures, derived from soundscapes and a minimalist language. In constant pursuit of openness, he breaks free from dogmas and stylistic barriers through prepared piano, soundpainting, and electronics.

His interest in ancient and baroque music led him to study harpsichord, both solo and in ensemble settings. In addition to being part of the groups affiliated with the Autre Collectif, he serves as a pianist in several formations such as Kobon and Vera Desti.
