Since 2018, Vóden has brought together Marguerite Lersteau on the nyckelharpa and David Sévérac on the hurdy-gurdy.
They have named their first album Polskanitsa, a well-chosen neologism to express a musical universe nourished by traditional music ranging from Swedish polska to Bulgarian kopanitsa, from scandinavian music to balkan music.
With their new creation Périphérie, they leave the path of purely traditional music to explore their own compositions and non-traditional arrangements of melodies from Sweden and Bulgaria.
Around the development of the expressiveness and nuances of the drones, the search for timbres and the addition of effects textures the sound of the ancient instruments for an aesthetic on the verge of jazz, rock and folk-trance.
Vóden offers here a spellbinding voice and music that takes to the heart and body.
