Duo WITH Bijan Chemirani

After a decade of creative collaborations in Oneira, Kevin Seddiki and Bijan Chemirani distill their artistic complicity into an ethereal duo. Their musical dialogue, enriched by Kevin's journey studying percussion with the Chemirani family, flows with remarkable fluidity.

What makes their partnership unique is their masterful instrumental versatility - Seddiki moves fluidly between guitar and percussion, while Chemirani navigates zarb, saz, and lauto.

Together, they craft a boundless musical landscape spanning from Persian classical traditions to Andalusian flamenco, where composed pieces blend seamlessly with spontaneous improvisation.

Their performances, where refined string work intertwines with sophisticated percussion, invite listeners on a meditative journey that transcends cultural boundaries - a testament to their deep musical kinship forged through years of shared creation. The result is a rare alchemy where structure and freedom dance in perfect harmony.

The Kevin Seddiki & Mateus Donato Duo represents a groundbreaking partnership in contemporary chamber music, where classical guitar and 6-string cavaquinho merge in rare symbiotic harmony.

"The Sarah Nemtanu & Kevin Seddiki duo represents a fascinating meeting between two musical worlds, where classical virtuosity meets creative freedom. This unexpected pairing of violin and guitar creates a unique sonic landscape that defies traditional genre boundaries.

Sarah Nemtanu, renowned for her brilliant career as concertmaster of the Orchestre National de France and her numerous acclaimed solo performances, brings her extraordinary musical sensitivity and technical mastery to this intimate chamber music setting. Her approach, both sophisticated and adventurous, finds a natural counterpart in Kevin Seddiki's innovative guitar work and compositional creativity.

Together, they explore a vast musical territory where classical refinement meets improvisation, where written scores become springboards for creative interpretation. Their repertoire spans from carefully crafted arrangements of classical pieces to original compositions, each transformed through their unique musical dialogue.

This collaboration exemplifies both artists' desire to push beyond conventional boundaries - Nemtanu's celebrated classical virtuosity blending seamlessly with Seddiki's multi-faceted musical approach, influenced by his rich background in classical, world music, and improvisation. Their performances create an intimate atmosphere where technical brilliance serves emotional expression, offering audiences a fresh perspective on chamber music.

The duo's musical conversation flows naturally between structure and freedom, classical precision and creative spontaneity, creating performances that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally compelling."

Duo WITH Sandra rumolino

"La chanteuse argentine Sandra Rumolino, diva du tango, et le guitariste/percussionniste français Kevin Seddiki nous offrent leur sublime Tres Luceros, une aventure poétique et acoustique inspirée et vibrante, reliant les sonorités et les sensibilités des Suds d'ici et d'ailleurs. 

S'y écoutent forcément les influences latines de Buenos Aires d'où Sandra puise son langage musical et dont les harmonies et les rythmes sud-américains ont largement déteints sur le jeu de Kevin, qui partage d'ailleurs régulièrement les scènes des jazzmen Dino Saluzzi et Al Di Meola. 

Leur origine italienne est aussi un dénominateur commun aux deux complices  s'ajoutent l'Algérie du concertiste, ici compositeur et arrangeur de l'album, ainsi que  l'Iran, qui transparaît à travers sa pratique du zarb (instrument de percussion perse), transmise par l'illustre famille Chemirani.

Chants et folklores d'Amérique du sud, jazz, musique classique et rythmes orientaux se mêlent et s'entrelacent dans une ambiance tamisée et colorée à l'instar de la voix, de la guitare et des percussions qui s'accompagnent tendrement dans un concert sonore intimiste où l'émotion prime."
