Ottignon & Manzanza is a collaboration between drummer Myele Manzanza (First Word Records / Sound Signature) and keyboardist Aron Ottignon (Blue Note France / Urban Trout).
Recorded live at DBS Music, Funkhaus Berlin, I'm Moving On is an emotional journey showcasing their blend of jazz and house with Myele Manzanza developing a whirling dervish tornado behind the kit and Aron Ottignon mixing his vocoder flavours with swirling sonics and a virtuosic keyboard & synth bass improvisation. The song is jazz music rooted to the earth by dance, and house music elevated to the sky with freedom & improvisation.
Having both collaborated with artists as diverse as Theo Parrish, Woodkid, Baaba Maal, Stromae, Electric Wire Hustle, Jordan Rakei, Mark de Clive-Lowe & Miguel Atwood Fergusson, and drawing from their shared love of jazz, broken beat and electronic music, Ottignon & Manzanza have created a sound of their own that fuses top tier improvisation with a seamless integration of modern tech and organic acoustic sonics. Formed in their home country of New Zealand in 2019, Ottignon & Manzanza is a project driven by the raw passion of two kiwi expats determined to make their mark on the world stage.
