01 / EPHEMERAL ENSEMBLES & REPERTOIRE01 / CUSTOM-TAILORED & REPERTOIRE[██████████████··] -1dB[███████·] -1dB

Beyond our regular ensembles, PRAXIS brings together high-end ephemeral ensembles to meet the specific needs of an atypical venue, a corporate event, or a private celebration.

The principle of an ephemeral ensemble: To ensure immediate musical efficiency and spontaneous synergy without multiplying rehearsal costs, the team generally relies on a solid foundation of standards and essential classics (Pop, Rock, Jazz). Performed by elite professional musicians accustomed to interplay, these tracks offer perfect cohesion, communicative energy, and total flexibility in a live situation.

The option of exclusive creations: Designing a dedicated original work, writing specific arrangements on a precise catalog, or inventing an unprecedented sound universe remains, of course, possible. However, this approach represents a significantly larger investment, implying in-depth writing work, orchestration, and dedicated rehearsal sessions in the studio.

« For an ephemeral ensemble, the strength of the great classics magnified by seasoned musicians ensures instant alchemy. Exclusive creations, on the other hand, involve a complete process of writing and rehearsals. »

  • [01] Project framing: Space analysis, guest flow, target sound level, and definition of the appropriate instrumental formula.
  • [02] Casting & Musical Direction: Selection of professional musicians within our network of excellence for a perfect stylistic fit.
  • [03] Flexible technical deployment: Two options depending on your venue's infrastructure: either complete autonomy with our own sound equipment, or direct connection to the sound system (PA) already on-site.
  • [04] Soundcheck & Balances: The organization of the soundcheck strictly depends on the venue, the schedule, and the selected instrumentation (two harps during a soundcheck remain naturally more discreet than a full drum kit!). We plan and anticipate the setup in advance with the organizers for absolute peace of mind.
