David Helbock / Camille Bertault - Playground"Playground" is a kaleidoscope of sounds and emotions which invigorates, excites and will always surprise. The craft and technique may be breathtaking, but neither musician ever forgets the essential: "It's not about showing strength or virtuosity, but about expressing the truth of the moment," says Camille Bertault. And that is what she and David Helbock deliver with each and every track.
