Francois Bourassa: L'Impact du Silence
ByThe mood of the music has a cinematic quality. All compositions are credited to Bourassa, but there is certainly a high degree of improvisation involved. Sad stories emerge. Glimmers of life-affirming joy shine through the grey clouds.
As much an exploration as it is a soul-baring, the journey is taken patiently. "Remous Part 1" takes the inward search away from the contemplative into a vivacious strut, while "Arch 65" has an aggressive, even ominous, vibe, and "KVQ" sounds like a drifting-on-a-cloud dream.
"Triadique" is a beautiful abstraction and "Gaspar," at six minutes in length the longest tune on this set of succinct composition, sounds like a soundtrack to a small child alone in her room, fascinated by the sound of a music box.
The sounds end with the brief "Epilogue," a beautiful eighty seconds that stops abruptly, like a quick opening of a door to a bright sunrise.
