© 2023 Alain Herzog For their project -The Armenian presence at the Montreux Jazz Festival - A study of the Tigran Hamasyan Quintet concert in 2014-, Léandre Guy and Basile Tornare explored what exoticism means in music and the limits of genres. Léandre Guy and Basile Tornare, master's students in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering respectively, met during their bachelor's at EPFL when playing music together. They found each other again in the Social and Human Sciences (SHS) course -Music, Politics, and Society- taught by Constance Frei and offered by the College of Humanities (CDH). -We talked at the end of one class and I asked him about his ideas for the final project,- Léandre says. -He immediately said -Tigran Hamasyan-, and I said that I was thinking the exact same thing. It was a great coincidence. Tigran Hamasyan is an Armenian musician that both Léandre and Basile became fans of separately.
