Gonzales / La Gaîté Lyrique, Paris

This Canadian composer which manages to be either in the dance-floor or alone with a piano is the kind of artist that deserves to be listened more than once, he has a enormous energy and personality that we could totally feel in any of his performances. His music seems to be taken by a satiric disco vibe that can make us dance or simply celebrate, naive bass lines with piano melodies, notes in crescendo, epic landscapes, each song tells a story.

Recommending his solo piano album in two volumes of satiric and melancholic melodies, classical piece made by an artist that moves from the rap to the most effervescent pop or raw electro from the likes of his collaborations with Peaches.

Although they say the piano can create the most colors of any instrument, it is actually black and white, much like an old silent movie. Staring down at my hands, I imagine each piano piece as a shadow against the wall. - Gonzales.
