The CHET NUNETA derive their legitimacy from the intertwining of its members’ unusual paths. Their magic is the alchemy of five fine temperaments and raw material, the traditional song, a heritage filled with the mysterious fluid of peoples to be handled with care. Where does this heritage come from? What condition is it in? How is it to be used? Rejecting the false orthodoxy of mimicry, wanting to be more faithful to spirit than to form, wishing to revisit it through the lens of their Western sensibilities, the CHET NUNETA invent their own recipes. If a melody captivates them, they endeavor to capture its essence and combine it with their own spices. The result is a dawning feeling of intuitions and moods based on research into timbres, rhythms, words and vocal effects. What it comes down to, whatever the eulogists of a fallacious authenticity might think, is that a living tradition is a perpetual, sometimes transgressive recreation, and it is this “authenticity” that the CHET NUNETA mean to respectfully free themselves of.
