The contemporary music academy Opus 21, in reference to the work of Schoenberg, took up its summer quarters in the charterhouse of Villeneuve-lez-Avignon. It was in 2007 and Clément Ducol had just left the CNSMD of Lyon (Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse), with percussion and orchestration prizes in his pocket, and was preparing to start a tour with the singer Camille. Seventeen years later, in a bar not far from République, in Paris, he recounts this meeting which in retrospect changed his life: “It was through the choreographer Thomas Guerry that I auditioned for Camille, who was looking for percussionists and dancers at the time.”
In the fall of 2008, he embarked on a major tour, heading to Australia. In the land of kangaroos, their hearts leap. In parallel with a love story, a great artistic collaboration was written. “When Camille and I met, what fascinated me was that she was completely self-taught, while I was full of musical theory.
