Created by Sébastien Beliah and myself in 2008, hodos is an ensemble dedicated to work on the music of contemporary music composers. One of the main ideas of this ensemble is to work on music that has very often been played by classically-trained musicians but rarely by improvisers coming from jazz or traditional music for example. The members of the ensemble all have very different backgrounds, from baroque music to jazz to classical-contemporary music.
hodos is working on pieces by Pierre-Antoine Badaroux, Christian Wolff, Roman Haubenstock-Ramati, John Cage, Philip Corner among others.
