Cédric Hanriot
Piano/Synthesizers: The heart of the project.
Cédric Hanriot is a pianist, composer, sound designer, and music producer. An unclassifiable artist and explorer of forms and colors, Cédric Hanriot is redefining contemporary jazz: free, hybrid, rooted in the present—and resolutely forward-looking. His mastery of textures (Wurlitzer, synthesizers, piano) and his experience working with the greatest figures in modern jazz— from Diane Reeves—whose album was named Best Vocal Jazz Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards—to Terri Lyne Carrington, and including his legendary colleague Herbie Hancock, who never ceases to praise him, make Cédric one of those rare artists whose inspiration matches his flawless technique.
This keyboard virtuoso, who draws inspiration from the great masters of classical music as well as the most modern electronic and hip-hop artists, is also a bold composer.
Vocals/Spoken Word/Rap: A unique and distinctive vocal style.
Drawing on a background shaped by world music with pop influences and a classical vocal training, she has forged a rich artistic identity, driven by musical curiosity and a strong sense of expressiveness.
Her voice, a true instrument, stands out for its unique timbre and her ability to navigate between textures, shifting from softness to intensity with great mastery. Her versatility allows her to move seamlessly between ethereal soul melodies and powerful hip-hop flows, bringing a human and urban narrative to the Time is Color project. Both on stage and in the studio, she exudes a captivating presence, capable of uniting audiences and creating moments of connection with them.

Bertrand Béruard
Bass: The architect of the groove.
A bassist, double bassist, and composer, Bertrand Beruard was shaped as much by the rock scene—Notorious—as by jazz, funk, contemporary music, and world music. These influences shine through in most of his projects with Brice Wassy, Orlando Poleo, Joachim Horsley, Hugues Mayot, Logan Richardson, Terry Line Carrington, Terreon Gully, Gabriel Gosse, and Rémi Fox. A winner of the Concours de la Défense Jazz Festival in 2013 and 2020, he has performed all over the world.
Bertrand provides a deep and modern harmonic foundation, essential to the fusion of all the musical genres represented by the band members.
Batteries: The Energy of the Future
Antonin se met à la batterie dès l’adolescence et se forme successivement au conservatoire d’Annemasse et d’Annecy. En 2010, il intègre le Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood (CMDL), d’où il ressort, au bout de deux ans, avec mention. Après quelques collaborations remarquées, notamment avec Axel Bauer, Catherine Ringer et Trust – avec qui il enregistre leur dernier album en 2020 – Antonin se spécialise de plus en plus dans l’aspect versatile que peut offrir la batterie : il accompagne autant des artistes de jazz que de musique électronique comme Warren Walker ou de musique latine et pop comme Gabriel Gosse. Entre frappe organique et textures électroniques via pads, il impulse l’énergie « live » qui fait de chaque concert une expérience incroyable.
