Volume Iii [LP], Flore Laurentienne, Vinyl

Rooted in the Québec landscape and inspired by the vastness of the St. Lawrence River, Flore Laurentienne's music- a harmonious blend of strings and analog synthesizers-takes us on a journey to the edge of the sublime, where we find ourselves both fragile and powerful, suspended between vulnerability and wonder.On stage, Laurentienne comes to life through a core ensemble of seven musicians. At the center stands composer and keyboardist Mathieu David Gagnon, surrounded by a string quartet and two keyboardists-percussionists. Over the past five years, they have developed a rich shared experience of live performance, a natural rapport and an instinctive bond that nourish both the project and the composer's work. The power of the MiniMoog, the ensemble's emblematic instrument, combined with the richness of the strings, creates a captivating interplay that draws the listener into a unique and memorable experience. On Volume III, Mathieu David Gagnon and his Flore Laurentienne return to celebrate the magnificence of the river and it's floral and sylvan surroundings. It's an album to be enjoyed alongside it's two predecessors (Volume I and II), while also looking forward to the next step. Flore Laurentienne is constantly evolving, but from the beginning, the vision has remained the same: to create music that is alive, true, human, and uncompromising.
