arbata
arbata is a Paris-based duo formed in 2023 by Philipp Eden (prepared piano) and Quentin Conrate (incomplete drum kit). Their music inhabits a world of temporality — unfolding in slow, unhurried arcs, with a kinship to drone music. By allowing the sounds to breathe, they offer an antidote to the relentless pace of modern life. In this stretched time, new sonic territories emerge, where piano and drums engage in an intense, intimate exchange. Rooted in a shared fascination for deep listening, field recording, and the spatial qualities of sound, their work invites audiences into a finely tuned environment where every vibration matters.
