PIERRE DE BETHMANN ILIUM5
[ilium 1 & 2]
ilium is Pierre de Bethmann's next step as a leader after Prysm.
Originally a 5tet based on the sound of the Rhodes piano, with an acoustic instrumentation, and carried by outstanding musicians, all of them from the heart of today’s Parisian musical scene.
A completely original repertoire, specifically composed for this group and constantly rearranged in the last two years, while the group has given more than 30 concerts before recording in April 2002.
ilium recorded two albums - 2003 and 2005.
... and later turned into a 7tet
