Andy Saunders (keyboard), Glyn Perrin (keyboard), Richard Miles (keyboard), Chris Cutler (drums), Jules Bernable (electronic bass). Guests : Tom Mugridge & Jake Rousham and ten musicians
Creative artistic residency in A.M.I.’s rehearsal studios from 30 June to 3 July 2015.

Himmel’s music plays on spaces and territories, between drone, Krautrock and cosmic jazz, creating a powerful live performance that combines minimalism with the power of the rock group. They were backed up with contributions from local musicians, particularly Jules Bernable, the excellent bass player of the Marseille group MoTTo, and around ten avid experimenters with keyboards and saturated sounds, who all worked together in A.M.I.’s rehearsal studios in the Friche la Belle de Mai centre.
