Keng-Sam Chane Chick Té is a musician, improviser and film-maker from La Réunion Island, who I met in Canberra in 2015 when we were both teaching at an improv festival called 'Improvention'. After admiring each other's performances all week, on the last day of the festival between shows we found an hour to record a music session together.

That performance became 'From One Note', a completely improvised album recorded in one take. Every track starts in real time after the previous, a new track simply signifies where a new idea has begun.

In the years since Keng-Sam and I have continued to collaborate on long distance music projects, and in 2019 I travelled to his home country in the middle of the Indian Ocean to participate in 'La Nuit De L'impro'.
