Ivan Tirtiaux (chant, guitare, loops, piano), Raphaël Dumas (mandoline, banjo)

Bercé par des musiques en tout genre et provenant de partout, Ivan Tirtiaux manœuvre sa barque en français depuis quelques années déjà. Dépouillement narratif emprunté au blues, cadences syncopées de rythmes latins, douce mélan-colie des fados intemporels, un peu de folk, de jazz... A la lumière d'une voix aussi habitée que singulière, ses textes, nés de son amour de la chanson française, se fondent harmonieusement à sa musique, visant à aborder des thèmes universels.Après de nombreux concerts en Belgique et en France, un disque "Ivan les Singes Savants", diverses formules (en solo, en groupe, en duo avec percussions ou encore violoncelle), sa rencontre avec le mandoliniste-banjoïste toulousain Raphaël Dumas promet à ses chansons de vastes échappées alternant pluie de cordes et soleil serein.
