François Bourassa - L'impact du Silence

Too often in music, the importance of silence is underestimated. When used with intention, it holds a profound emotional and poetic power the impact of silence, and the deep effect it can have on the listener. This collection of piano compositions unfolds through a range of atmospheres, forming a musical journey that weaves together improvisation, lyricism, and abstraction, with integrity and emotion as its guiding thread.

After 35 years of recording numerous group albums, creating a first solo piano record became a natural step. In this spirit, collaborating with renowned sound engineer Gérard De Haro at Studio La Buissonne where internationally acclaimed musicians have recorded was an obvious choice.

A solo album is an act of vulnerability. It offers a space for introspection without sacrificing dynamic contrast, resulting in music that is both varied and unpredictable blending the spontaneity of improvisation with a strong sense of structure.
