Siks Haedo

Diego Lipnizky started elaborating the idea of the band in Madrid a year ago, working on composition. The prospect of a life change, moving to Paris, gave him great inspiration and emotions... It appeared vital to translate it into music.

The instrumentation of this project is fast emerging as a sextet, despite the difficulties that this implies in terms of composition and production.

The texture of the trumpet/flugelhorn is in Diego’s mind when writing the melodic lead, and the alto saxophone for bringing the second voice and counterpoints.

The guitar must be a polyrhythmic element : playing a line that meets the melody, complements the harmony and gives a rhythmic definition.

The bass should serve the harmonic definition while being a polyrhythmic element perfectly in tune with the drums and the guitar.

The piano brings harmony. The beautiful color of the instrument, its resonance as well as its very powerful nature allow for different registers and possibilities.

Also, the use of synthesizers helps soothe the atmosphere with pads or, rather the opposite, creates psychedelic atmospheres .... Siks Haedo is a very open and eclectic project!

The drums play a central role and carry the full weight of the project. Rhythmic displacements, changes in tempo and rhythmic modulations require the expertise of a great drummer!

Once the musicians came together, the opportunity to record at Sae Studios emerged. The project could finally be shared with the public! Participating in contests, finding gigs, a production and labels start at last…

Siks Haedo is quickly selected by the Jazz Festival of Saint Germain des Prés to participate in the 2014 contest. The band finds itself for the first time on stage at the Sunset / Sunside jazz club.

Prior to this selection, Siks Haedo had already been scheduled to play two months later on the same stage. The following month, the band performed at the Caveau des Oubliettes and at Le Baiser Salé.

Siks Haedo has signed his first album "Influencias" with the Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd. Album available in Itunes, Amazon and Spotify since 18th May 2015.

Selected to participate at the worshop festival JazzEñe 2015 at Valencia (Spain) 25th September.
