Intuitions

Description

For his 4th album, Nicolas Parent renews the rich experience of the duo with: Yom (clarinets), Pierre Durand (guitar), and Kentaro Suzuki (double bass), his companion on this journey for a decade. - - A bold bet: recorded partly in an old cement factory (the silo), transformed into an artist's workshop. A place with incredible and unique acoustics! - - intuitions showcases Nicolas's compositions while allowing room for pure improvisations. His guitar is sparkling and soft, a bit nostalgic, always purposeful and reassuring. Sometimes percussive and lively, sometimes ethereal and creative, it tames new textures. - - Far from a restless and troubled world, this album expresses a desire for a calm and peaceful ideal, where tranquil happiness reigns. A work that serves as therapy for the audience, with its suspended moments and spaces of fullness. Nicolas Parent, a magician of silence and simplicity, takes us on a journey in a superb album: lunar and meditative. Simply beautiful. - - - - - Remarkable depth and life (Jazz news) - - - - - Excellent musician, very beautiful breaths… a favorite!
