Résidence Création de notre prochain album
“"S'ils reviennent aujourd'hui sur Terre, c'est pour concevoir un nouveau répertoire et le créer là, sous nos yeux. Une aventure qui s'annonce excitante, délirante, à tout le moins fort peu... ordinaire."”

Résidence Nouvel Album 2026
Après quelques années dans l'espace à bord de notre Spaceship One, nous voici de retour sur terre avec une furieuse envie de vous faire groover !
Tout là-haut, la météorite Michel Graillet, pianiste fulgurant des années 90, nous a percutés de sa musique hallucinogène et nous a inspiré le projet d'un nouvel album que nous avons envie de créer avec notre public.
Nous sommes actuellement en Résidence au Sunset pour la création de notre prochain album.
Venez vivre un processus de création en live, avec des compositions et des sons inédits.
Bougez, respirez, réagissez, soufflez, chantez, criez... et vous allez nous inspirer !
Previous Album "SpaceShipOne"
Since their creation, The Volunteered Slaves have always liked flying high. But with their new project SpaceShipOne, they’re taking it up a notch.
Born out of the fervor of Jazz in Marciac 2002, the band unites flamboyant personalities and well-honed talents: O. Temime on the saxophone, Emmanuel Duprey on the Rhodes piano, Akim Bournane on the bass and Julien Charlet on the drums. These indomitable musicians were joined by organist Emmanuel Bex in 2016.
From the get-go, they decided not to decide anything and improvised music outside of any genre or school of thought. Jazz, funk or afrobeat, no one knows where they reside but they instantly make you want to live there too.
And it’s one album after another: Streetwise, Breakfast in Babylone, The Day After and Ripcord, laying out music that’s both earthy and aerial, almost hypnotic. On stage, bodies and souls crank up the heat, with even the most velvet-smooth jazz clubs turning into dance floors.
In their new opus, The Volunteered Slaves no longer reach for the sky, but for outer space. The music, always organic, revs it up with electro. Poetry lies in the spaces between lyricism and trance. Addicted to freedom, The Volunteered Slaves create music that captivates us.
The band headed into the recording studio in March 2020, and will launch their album SpaceShipOne into orbit in august 27 2021.
Before meeting again with their always voluntary audiences, they are feverishly getting ready for take-off.
