Description

Arnaud Roulin is a unique pianist! (Jazz Magazine) - - - - - When it comes to piano, we knew about sonatas, preludes, nocturnes, and other Gymnopédies. There are now also the Massages by Arnaud Roulin - - - - A discreet yet major figure in the independent music scene, Arnaud Roulin is the favorite pianist of your favorite artists. After experimenting with all kinds of keyboards, from liturgical organs to disco synthesizers, with Poni Hoax or in the projects of Laurent Bardainne and Thomas de Pourquery, alongside Catherine Ringer, Sébastien Tellier, Camélia Jordana, or Jeanne Added, he now tackles strings and hammers in the most intrepid way: solo - - His first album, Massages for Piano, is a distillation of his life as a musician whose heroes are Miles and Wagner, a pianist inspired by Nina Simone and Oscar Peterson, and a composer influenced by Satie and Jobim. This is complemented by a reflection on the texture of sound itself, deep within the instrument. - - His writing is so unique that his music manages to bring together in a single sound classical piano, solo jazz piano, and easy listening. You can hear Frédéric Chopin, Érik Satie, Nina Simone, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou. Listening to Arnaud Roulin is like a walk in the forest, a delightful and gentle massage for the eardrum, an ode to slowness and tenderness.
