“ONCEIM (Orchestre de Nouvelles Créations, Expérimentations et Improvisations Musicales) is a French new music ensemble, established in 2012 by pianist Frédéric Blondy, and comprising over 30 European improvisers and members of prominent jazz, free jazz, free improv and contemporary classical groups. Through the in-depth exploration of improvisational practices, the Onceim musicians have developed a rich and unique panel of know-how. It’s as if each musician were one tool within a toolbox, all at the service of the project being undertaken. Without necessarily knowing where we are going, we go, we meet each other, we overlap, we manufacture, we shape, we listen, we listen to each other and we produce, together. The potential for serendipity is also ever-present and we aim to seize it and extract all its radiance. These discoveries only go to enrich the Onceim sound and sensory palette.”
“Large-scale improvisation runs the risk of devolving into indistinct masses of sound. While this outcome is not necessarily undesirable, maintaining coherence among more than a handful of improvisers is a challenge. Onceim, a French ensemble of over 30 musicians led by Frédéric Blondy, manages to thread this needle by taking a slow, quiet approach that hides complexity within passages of long-held tones.”-Avant Music News
