FESTIVAL SAUVANIE SOLEIL
One summer day. A garden full of music. And rather more going on than anyone can sensibly fit into an ordinary concert.
Sauvanie Soleil is our annual one-day summer gathering at L’Espace Sauvanie in the Dordogne, bringing together live music, unexpected collaborations, good food, creative stalls and the particular pleasure of hearing exceptional musicians in a setting that feels a long way from a conventional festival.
It is deliberately small enough to wander, listen, eat, talk and discover something you had not necessarily intended to see.
The music is the heart of the day: a mixture of invited artists, individual performances and collaborations that may only happen here.

THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS!
Raoul Vignal
is widely admired for his delicate guitar work, marked by subtle arpeggios and intricate fingerpicking, but also for his quietly luminous vocals. Originally from Lyon, he began performing solo in his early twenties, developing an intimate, visually evocative style, rooted in alternative tunings. Influenced by artists such as Nick Drake, and shaped by time spent in Berlin’s creative scene, he has honed a songwriting voice that merits equal attention: his compositions unfold like intimate stories or sonic postcards, drawing listeners into richly textured worlds where fleeting moments of joy and deep human connection resonate.
Ilke-ta
Ilke-ta is the project of drummer and composer Jamie Sykes, blending the rhythmic depth and complexity of contemporary jazz with interwoven melodies and rich, cinematic harmonies. Featuring the exceptional talents of Ben Nobuto on keyboards, Jack Benjamin on bass, and vocalist Daisy Godfrey. Together they move effortlessly between expansive, atmospheric soundscapes and tightly crafted, energetic passages. Drawing inspiration from influences as diverse as British electronic music, liturgical traditions and minimalist composition, Ilke-ta creates a distinctive and compelling musical experience that is both adventurous and deeply immersive.
Jesse Barrett Trio
Percussionist Jesse Barrett, multi-instrumentalist Peter Beardsworth and bassist Owen Morgan come together to create unique music born from the present moment. Drawing on a wide range of influences and styles, they combine dynamic, driving rhythms with trance-inflected melodies, weaving in sound manipulation, synthesis and sampling. Jesse Barrett's expressive and inventive approach is rooted in his background as a tabla student and jazz drummer with the band Mammal Hands. Through deep and dedicated study with his guru Sirishkumar Manji, Jesse explores the meeting point between these different domains of lyrical percussion, opening a new path of tonal variety through subtle permutations between tabla, jazz improvisation and ambient electronics.
Adela Philippi
Adela Philippi is a British violinist and singer-songwriter based in Paris. Blending influences from classical music, the London indie scene and European folk traditions, she creates songs that explore movement, distance and belonging. Having toured extensively across the visual and performing arts, she is currently developing her debut album, weaving together voice and violin in a distinctive and deeply personal style.
Maple Paper
A collective immersion through colors of sounds, sparkles of joy and human connection, Maple Paper takes us into the world of indie psychedelic rock music. The 4-piece band - Orel Storrer, voice & guitar, Adam El Moukadem, guitar, Sitron, bass, and Audrey Dechèvre on drums - found itself in the alternative scene of Brussels, as they share a true joy in playing and experimenting together. Their creation process is based on improvisation and collective composition, resulting in an organic sound. Time loses meaning, the music floats and pulls you out of reality. A free form of expression emerges, creating a space for honesty and serenity. Guitar and vocals intertwine through layers of effects and melodies. An enveloping soundscape takes form with minimalistic arrangements and a large use of dynamics. Maple Paper’s distinctive style is rooted in intense and sensitive live performances. Be ready for an immersive sonic journey.
