Like an alchemist, Vincent Peirani has been at work in his musical laboratory for the past 15 years, surrounded by his quintet: Tony Paeleman (keyboards, piano), Émile Parisien (soprano saxophone), Julien Herné (bass) and Yoann Serra (drums). A line-up that delivers an explosion of sounds, melodies and rhythms, drawing on pop, baroque, jazz of course, as well as influences from Africa and the Balkans. With his latest project, *Living Being IV: Time Reflections* – conceived during lockdown and released in August 2025 – Vincent Peirani continues this exploration and invites us to reflect on the rhythms of our lives. His accordion plays with the concept of time, becoming a distillation of these past few months. It is the sum of the talents of the five musicians, each bringing their own musical essence to the table. A blend that speaks of the past, the future and, above all, this present moment to be experienced and shared intensely. To suspend this moment in the Théâtre Antique and intrinsically blend the energy of the quintet with that of the audience. Each track, composed and arranged by Vincent Peirani, thus carries a memory, a story waiting to be replayed on stage, in a burst of vitality.
