Passepartout Duo / Sheik Anorak

PASSEPARTOUT DUO: Passepartout Duo (IT/US) is formed by two nomadic musicians, pianist Nicoletta Favari and percussionist Christopher Salvito.

They have quietly planted roots in music and art scenes in every corner of the world through the use of musical instruments of their own design.

Their work is defined by a focused exploration of sound, rhythm, and melody, exposing process-driven music that lives in between composition and improvisation, electronics and acoustic sound.

The two musicians cultivate a quiet intensity that draws listeners into the inner mechanics of sound itself.

In 2024 they teamed up with the Berlin- based company KOMA Elektronik to start producing their instrument called ‘Chromaplane’.

SHEIK ANORAK ( FR / SE ) Sheik Anorak (minimal drumming trance, Göteborg SWE) Sheik Anorak is Frank Garcia's solo project.

Frank is a french musician, born in Lyon and relocated in Göteborg, Sweden since 2016.

The music of his solo project changed a lot through the years, following Frank's mood and phases, from free jazz to indie rock, kraut to no wave.

The past few years showed a new direction with Sheik Anorak leaving the guitar and loops behind, going more electronics.

The result today is a heavy repetitive music built on polyrhythms, drones and a personal way of playing drums.

Sometimes compared to Goat (JP), Nissenenmondai (JP) or even Steve Reich (US), Frank proceeds with his own take on repetitive electronic/acoustic music.
