Info for The Waves

Between the gentle rocking of the surf and the plaintive whistling of the swell, "Flo and the Murmurs" transposes the great expanses of the ocean into an intimate, skin-deep universe. Carried by the soft and clear tone of the singer Marie-Flo Burki and the sensorial fabric of a string quartet, the music sails between experimental folk and contemporary jazz in a neo-classical atmosphere. This ensemble’s first project, "The Waves", borrows its words from Virginia Woolf to tell sensual stories filled with images of the natural world. Double bass, cello, viola, violin and voice enter in dialogue to paint a poetic fresco that is at once fragile, melancholic, poignant, and luminous.

Flo and the Murmurs
are a voice and four strings navigating the border between jazz and folk with a chamber music aesthetic. Soft and flowing or strong and percussive, the versatile strings bring to life the complex melodies of lead singer Marie-Flo. The group's first project, 'The Waves', borrows its words from Virginia Woolf to tell sensual stories filled with images of the natural world.
