Real groups like Empirical are a rarity in contemporary jazz, where musicians so often come together for single projects then disperse again once they are done: groups that endure for fifteen years, without slackening in their quest for the new and the fresh, are all but unheard of.

With a strong electro-acoustic style, Armel Dupas's new trio sculpts sound, transforms experience into melody and transforms his feelings about current events into sound colours. The compositions are somewhere between ambient music and progressive rock, with plenty of space for analogue synthesizers driven by Mathieu Penot and Kenny Ruby, the trio's drummer and bassist respectively.

Living with War - In the Beginning is a studio album by Neil Young, released in 2006. It is a stripped-down version of Young's 2006 album Living with War.
