Founded in 2012 by David Haudrechy, Initiative H took the ambitious challenge to create a dense, modern and passionate music transcending the genres jazz, rock, electro and 20th century music. The powerful sound of this 21st century orchestra is fed by the energy of a big collective project where each musician has its certain place. The interpretation is masterly, the engagement absolute and the listener will be completely absorbed by the telling power of this music. A musical adventure, human, urban, which makes Initiative H an unavoidable entity of the renovation of the French jazz scene.
Considering his passion for surfing, snowboarding and skating, the genre crossover in saxophonist David Haudrechyʼs music is more than understandable. The thrill, the shiver, the risk, all sensations are also part of the iconic picture of „Dark Wave“, under the direction and composition of David Haudrechy. He developed his own, liberate, musical language as much inspired by Berlioz and Moussorgski as by Gill Evans, Carla Bley, but also King Crimson and Arvo Pärt. Unexpected and paradox like in a slalom is the musical process between the different projects surrounding the band.
