"Like an ethereal dream, Flâneur Daguerre has a cool elegance and mysterious charm that pulls you into the story of each song."

Still young in Taipei, Flâneur Daguerre makes its music according to a unique blend of aesthetic styles + compositional processes. Formed in June 2009 and playing their first gigs at Sappho de Base in XinYi, the group brings to together some of the island's finest improvisers from diverse musical backgrounds, both foreign and Taiwanese.

Flâneur Daguerre was founded on the belief that modern music, especially that which is so-called "avant-garde," can be enjoyed and accessed by the same audiences that find comfort in today's mainstream pop. The band explores free jazz, Eastern European and Balkan music, but they often subject pop and rock + roll forms to the improvising methods of jazz and Indian musicians.
