Live Session

Live Session at L’Archiduc – Thursday 29 May 2025
We had the pleasure of welcoming Koenji Hyakkei to l’Archiduc for an unforgettable live session!

Known for their complex polyrhythms, operatic vocals in an invented language, and daring blend of rock, jazz, and avant-garde, the Tokyo-based ensemble led by Tatsuya Yoshida delivered a performance that truly pushed the boundaries of modern progressive rock.

From their groundbreaking debut in 1994 to their latest « Dhorimviskha » (2018), Koenji Hyakkei continues to stand as one of Japan’s most innovative musical acts, and last night they proved why.

A huge thank you to the band for their mesmerizing performance and to all who joined us at l’Archiduc for this special night. We can’t wait for the next time we get to experience such a masterpiece in motion!

Stay tuned for more live sessions at the Archiduc!

Live Session Round About Five at l’Archiduc – Sunday 23 march 2025
A very special live session featuring Matt Low singing the songs of Jean-Louis Murat. Jean-Louis Murat, a dear friend and mentor to Matt Low, was instrumental in encouraging Matt to pursue songwriting and singing, deeply believing in his talent and artistic vision. Last year, Matt performed here at L’Archiduc in collaboration with another artist, and it was at that very moment he learned of Jean-Louis Murat’s passing.

This concert holds profound significance for Matt Low, marking not only his first live performance of Murat’s songs but also commemorating a friendship and mentorship that shaped his musical journey.
