cine concert
Born at the Cinémathèque Française in Paris, the duo of Gabriel Cazes and Nicolas Giraud has been breathing fresh live energy into masterworks of silent cinema. Bridging piano, trumpet, and extended multi-instrumental soundscapes, the two composers craft an intimate dialogue between sound and moving image.
Their creative process balances structured thematic motifs with dynamic live improvisation. Guided by narrative arc and raw emotion, Cazes and Giraud adjust the "temperature" of each scene in real time, ensuring that every performance is a singular, unrepeatable experience. From iconic Paris archives to world-renowned stages like the Wiener Konzerthaus, the duo transforms classic silent films into vibrant, modern acoustic journeys.
