Polyinstrumentists Pierre Baldy-Moulinier (trombone, bugle, trumpet, tuba, flute), Sylvain Felix (saxophone, bass clarinet) and Nicolas Frache (guitar, bass) are the guests of VMDN for their album "Cheval de Troie", an epic musical through the great Mediterranean myths.

There are three of them. Like the Judges of Hell (Eaque, Radamanthe and Minos); like Moires (Clotho, Lachésis and Atropos), or like Erinyes (Tisiphone, Mégère and Alecto). But also like the Gorgons, the Grées, the Charites, the Hours and the Hesperides. Not to mention of course the Zeus-Poseidon-Hades Triad that share the world, the 3 heads of Cerberus or the Hydra of Lerne. You understood, it is an understatement to say that the number 3 is omnipresent in Greek mythology. Nothing could be more logical than a trio, in this case an "AmphiTryo" which is inspired by it to put in the saddle a first album which could not be called otherwise than "Trojan Horse".
