We received numerous applications for the 2026 edition of Summer Chance.
Our selection committee has chosen three music projects that we will support by assisting them with the recording, mixing, and mastering of an EP!
A big congratulations to the winners: Isaac Karson, La Mana and Rémi Wassim Chabanel!!!
The residency dates will run from June through the end of September: we can’t wait to introduce you to the artists and let you discover their talent!
Isaac Karson
https://linktr.ee/Isaac.Karson
Isaac Karson is a French-American singer-songwriter and harmonica player based in Paris. Isaac Karson’s music draws on the folk tradition of the 1960s, which shaped his upbringing, while infusing it with his own unique modernity and pop sensibility. Imbued with a gentle nostalgia, his voice carries haunting and heady melodies. He sings of love and friendship, daydreams and escapades. Guitar in hand, harmonicas in his pockets he tenderly weaves an intimate poetry of daily life and feelings, capturing and questioning all those little thoughts that cross our minds as we wander the world through time and relationships.
La Mana
https://linktr.ee/lamanamaga
Franco-mexican artist La Mana was born under the sign of fire, and she’s ready to burn patriarchy with her own words. Anchored on her ancestral roots, La Mana’s voice embodies the stories of sacred women outcasted, denied and repressed by colonialism.
Prayers, rites and vengeance interweave into a shamanic pop, mixing traditional latin rhythms and experimental reggaeton with sacred electronic landscapes. At a crossroads between music and performance, La Mana affirms a free, powerful and deeply engaged voice.

Rémi Wassim Chabanel is a Franco-Algerian composer originally from Brittany and based in Paris.
Honesty, nostalgia, aesthetics, desert, anemoia, the Algerian Deep South, airplanes, ocean — this is the world of Rémi Wassim Chabanel. Accompanied by Nils Josselin on classical guitar, Florian Berret on keyboards, and Aaron Arauz on percussion, Rémi Wassim Chabanel brings the electric bass to the forefront as if it were an oud or a Turkish saz.
Leaning more toward contemplation than performance, Rémi surrounds himself with outstanding musicians to create music that appears simple and naive at first, yet is subtle, detailed, and always in search of emotion.
