About Me

..Ce profil est editer avec Yamour Editeur Profil MySpace Yamour Editeur MyspaceWanu (Seb Pittet) commence la musique vers l'âge de 15 ans ou il joue ses premières notes à la basse dans un groupe de hard rock puis dans d'autres formations du même style. Après avoir terminé une formation d'horticulteur, il décide de se consacrer pleinement à la musique. Il commence alors l'EJMA (Ecole de Jazz et de Musiques Actuelles) ou il découvre le jazz et rencontre, lors de master classes des grand noms du jazz tels que Steve Swallow, Bob Mintzer, Adam Nussbaum, Miroslav Vitous, David Friesen, Philippe Petrucciani, Nik Bärtsch, etc... Très vite, les diverses influences culturelles et musicales du jazz, de la world music et du rock lui donnent envie de trouver un autre son et de jouer de la basse fretless, qui deviendra son instrument principal. A la fin de l'année 2007, il monte son propre projet sous le nom d'Anapurna avec Nicolas Von Ritter (g), Michael Gabriele (p) et Sylvain Grimm (dm), réunissant ses diverses influences dans des compositions personnelles. Actuellement, il vient d'obtenir le diplôme de la HEM Jazz du Conservatoire de Lausanne et il joue dans plusieurs formations comme Nolosé (salsa, latin jazz), Berhens-Nick-Pittet Trio (jazz), Iceland Quintet (post bop viking), MMSS Quartet (jazz), BWF (metal), Private Banking (metal). Il enseigne également la basse à l'Ecole de Musique de Renens...................................................... ............................................................ . Wanu (Seb Pittet) started music around 15 years old as he was playing his first songs with a bass guitar in a Hard Rock band and some other Rock bands. After an apprenticeship of gardener, he decided to dedicate his life to music. He started the EJMA school (Actual Jazz Music School) where he discovered Jazz music and lots of famous musicians on master classes like Steve Swallow, Bob Mintzer, Adam Nussbaum, Miroslav Vitous, David Friesen, Philippe Petrucciani, Nik Bärtsch, etc... Quickly, the musical influences he got from Jazz, World Music and Rock made his own style. Then he played with a fretless bass, his favorite instrument. At the end of 2007 he created the project "Anapurna" with Nicolas Von Ritter (g), Michael Gabriele (p) and Sylvain Grimm (dm), mixing his different influences on personal compositions. Since june 2008, he got the Jazz High School certificate in Lausanne Music Academy and he plays with many bands like "Nolosé" (salsa, latin jazz), Berhens-Nick-Pittet Trio (jazz), Iceland Quintet (post bop viking), MMSS Quartet (jazz), Private Banking (metal, coming soon!) and BWF (metal).
