Flore Laurentienne announces an expanded edition of the outfit’s 2024 album 8 tableaux, out September 13th. Flore Laurentienne also shares a brand-new track entitled ‘Les oies III’, which premiered last Sunday on KEXP’s show Pacific Notions. Watch Flore Laurentienne perform a special KEXP session from last fall below!
The digital deluxe edition of 8 tableaux features four new songs, each expanding on Gagnon’s method of transmuting visual art into musical form, inspired by Quebecois painter and sculptor, Jean Paul Riopelle.
By creating a repeated cycle of melodies and sounds, he creates what he calls a “musical freeze-frame,” a state where the music possesses seemingly no beginning or end. Like Basinski, the work demands close attention to detail. The result is contemplative, soothing music whose beauty grows as the patient listener begins to detect the various pieces at play in Gagnon’s work.
