Obradovic-Tixier Duo – Jiggled Juggler

The Obradovic‑Tixier Duo brings together Croatian drummer Lada Obradovic and French pianist David Tixier in a compelling international collaboration that blends precision, lyricism and modern jazz sensibility. Grounded in strong rhythmic interplay and rich harmonic flow, their music balances Obradovic’s incisive, groove‑driven approach with Tixier’s elegant touch and spacious, unfolding harmonies. Subtle electronic textures and looping motifs appear organically, enhancing the music without overwhelming it, and occasionally revealing echoes of classical form within a thoroughly contemporary sound. Nothing here is gratuitous – each idea is shaped with care, yet the result feels alive, fluid and immediate. Visually engaging and musically direct, the duo moves with ease through tightly woven improvisations that are both refined and accessible. Prolific and award‑winning, Obradovic‑Tixier continues to build a strong international presence through recordings, performances and striking visual work.
