“There are no coincidences, just appointments.” Paul Eluard
I have been interested in the Dance-Music relationship for a long time. Indeed, through experiences with Caroline Carlson, José Montalvo, Anne-Marie Raynaud, Elodie Sicard or Bernardo Montet, and the various shows of Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, Angelin Prejlocaj and many others, the germ of a creation with dance has long been present.
At the same time, a real interest in street dance “performances”, and the different styles from hip hop to break dancing appeal to me.
What dance and with what music?
“Make ’em move” is a title that tells of our preoccupation with the state of live performance in a world where the “dependence” on the screen and the media hype of a certain consumer culture encourage isolation or even a path leading to a certain intellectual mediocrity or even a loss of curiosity and free choice. Caution, immediate danger!
Léa Cazauran, choreographer with multiple paths and the dancers of her company: Lady Rocks, are in these same historical movements, hence the choice to work together on this new creation with a dozen performers.
The musicians of the MegaOctet represent between them, a very wide range of influences and musical backgrounds ranging from classical culture to contemporary sounds through jazz, rock or other music that has become “traditional”. A joy for the motivation of the composer.
Léa Cazauran and I will be writing “à la carte” for musicians and dancers in order to create together a language in unison with our desires and those of the performers.
“Make ’em move” is the snapshot of a slice of life in this chaotic world where high time to take the right paths for, we hope, a better future for all.
– Andy

Andy Emler
Andy Emler was born and raised in Paris, a child of rock whose music he plays by ear.
On the advice of Marie-Louise Boellman-Gigout, his piano teacher, he attempted and passed the entrance examination for writing classes at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris. He also comes out with a price of counterpoint.
1982, meeting with Antoine Hervé, with whom he produced his first album Horizons for piano and vibraphone.
Accompanist, improviser and composer, he travels the world with masters of French jazz such as François Jeanneau and Michel Portal, of whom he will be the regular pianist for several years. He notably collaborated with Trilok Gurtu and forged a strong and musical friendship with Dave Liebman, which continues today.
In 1989, Andy Emler created the MegaOctet, a large ensemble composed of nationally and internationally renowned virtuosos. This live music laboratory has been touring the stages of France and Europe ever since.
Between 1994 and 1999, he worked as co-director of the Scène et Marnaise de Création Musicale, a collective with several thinking heads that created the Putain d’Orchestre Modulaire. The POM is a great formation from which emerges a new generation of musicians ready for anything, in particular the future members of MegaOctet, Thomas de Pourquery and Médéric Collignon.
2002 the ETE trio is born, with Éric Échampard and Claude Tchamitchian, unwavering rhythm of Andy Emler MegaOctet, whose last album was released in 2022 (La Buissonne label under the leadership of Gérard de Haro at the console).
In addition, Andy composed the music for the show Ravel, directed by Anne-Marie Lazzarini, in March 2013, based on texts by Jean Echenoz. On this occasion, he received the Prize for best stage music composer awarded by the critics’ union in 2013. 3 Django d’or, 2 Jazz Victories later, Andy Emler became Knight of Arts and Letters in 2014.
Each program offered by Andy Emler deepens and develops an art of collective pleasure, a constantly renewed balance between improvisation and writing, and another between direction and initiative taken by the members of his formations. Over time, his commitment as a citizen of the world is affirmed. In search of an understanding of human relations in the interest of a better world, Andy Emler has been part of this dynamic for years within his various formations, as evidenced by the documentary Zicocratie made during the creation of the directory E total, for the Andy Emler MegaOctet, in 2012.
Constantly in motion, Andy Emler composes for different ensembles and multiple aesthetics. A demanding musician in his art to spread kindness and generosity.

Trumpet
Creativity, Research, Improvisation, strength of the Collective but also Freedom, Energy, Multidisciplinarity, Openness to the arts and to the diversity of cultures are at the heart of my artistic approach as a trumpet player and composer.
At the center of my musical adventures: the Mâäk collective, founded in 1998, develops musical projects combining improvisation and non-Western traditions. A versatile collective, synonymous with musical freedom, it is the core of other formations: Mik Mâäk, an atypical big band of 16 musicians, Mâäk Kojo, jazz-dance-voodoo trance interaction from Benin and numerous collaborations.
On this path of discovery, I also met the following personalities and ensembles: Octurn, Kris Defoort, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Le Gros Cube, Marc Ducret, Brussels Jazz Orchestra, Magik Malik, Dre Pallemaerts, Aka Moon, Lee Konitz, Joe Lovano, Toots Thielemans, Maria Shneider, Ghalia Benali, Mahmoud Guinea, Mamady Keita, Baba Sissoko, Nathalie Loriers Extension, Andy Emler, Salia Sanou, …

Drums
Born December 24, 1970 in Bourg-en-Bresse (France)
Biography of Stéphane Ollivier, journalist at “Inrockuptibles”, commissioned by the Orchester National de Jazz 2014/2018 (dir. Olivier Benoit).
“At the same time an outstanding technician, rich in a high-level classical training (he holds a First Prize in classical and contemporary percussion obtained in 1995 at the CNSM in Lyon in the class of François Dupin), and an instinctive musician , fundamentally open to all forms of current popular and experimental music (from modern jazz in all its forms to rock, passing through the infinite degradation of improvised music), Eric Echampard is one of those few atypical personalities who over the past fifteen years have profoundly renewed the art of drumming in the field of contemporary European jazz.
Spotted simultaneously by Bernard Struber who joined him in 1992 at the ORJA (group of which he is still a member and since renamed Jazztet) and by Jacques Di Donato who the following year offered him the place of drummer in his quintet and his large ensemble Friche System, Eric Echampard will very quickly impose himself as the privileged interlocutor of the most innovative musicians of the hexagonal scene, integrating in quick succession the trio of François Corneloup, that of Marc Ducret (with Bruno Chevillon), the Grand Lousadzak of Claude Tchamitchian or Andy Emler’s MegaOctet…
Sought after by all that the European scene has of “historic” musicians (Michel Portal, Louis Sclavis, François Jeanneau), Eric Echampard will over the years deepen his long-term relationships with Marc Ducret and Andy Emler (he is also part of his trio with Tchamitchian), start new collaborations (Dave Liebman, Benjamin Moussay, Christophe Monniot, Fabrice Martinez, Yvan Robilliard, Florent Pujuila, Vincent David) and open up to some new horizons by venturing into improvisation free in duet with the Finnish accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen or more hybrid projects on the borders of rock and contemporary music with the group Caravaggio alongside Bruno Chevillon, and composers Benjamin de La Fuente and Samuel Sighicelli. »

Double-bass
Born in Paris, he studied the double bass at
Avignon Conservatory, awarded in 1987.
In 1994, he founded Émouvance, a record label and production structure based in Marseille which endeavors to support and promote the work of musicians from the world of Afro-American music and the intersection of this with live music written and mainly European improvisations. The Émouvance catalog currently has 45 references.
He is the composer and leader of the Lousadzak, Amarco trio, Ways Out quintet, Poetic Power trio, Naïri trio ensembles and performs regularly as a soloist. He carries out research and develops a new technique on the double bass, illustrated by his latest solo album “In Spirit” (CD Emv 1040 – Éditions Oenso, Musicale Script).
He is a member of Mégaoctet and Andy Emler’s trio, Quest of the Invisible and Naïssam Jalal’s Healing Rituals, Régis Huby’s The Ellipse and Métamorphoses orchestras, Bruno Angelini’s Open Land quartet, Ogre Intact, quartet by Pierrick Hardy …).
For more than 30 years, Claude Tchamitchian has worked in different artistic fields and created music
originals for dance and theatre. He is regularly called upon in educational projects for
very diverse audiences, amateurs or professionals. In 2012, he created the Les Émouvantes festival in Marseille, an annual thematic musical event.
