Torche! is a Euro-Quebec supergroup bringing together French clarinetist Xavier Charles, Austrian trumpeter Franz Hautzinger, and Quebec musicians Philippe Lauzier (bass clarinet), Éric Normand (bass), and Michel F. Côté (drums). All specialists in extended techniques and textured noise, the quintet delivers music that is mesmerizing, hypnotic, and abstract.
