Peter Wallem Anundsen Consonances Octet Where Is Direction

Consonances Octet is an ensemble created by composer and trumpet player Peter Wallem Anundsen with the goal of combining dense harmonic structures from contemporary classical movements with the spontaneity of jazz and improvisational music. The music explores chambermusical timbres and each musician's distinguished sound to create wholly new soundscapes. Composers such as Olivier Messiaen, Jimmy Giuffre, Caroline Shaw, Anna Webber and Erik Hove are all important figures of inspiration, and the ensemble gathers references from their compositional styles into their own music.

Depuis quarante ans de carrière exceptionnelle, la pianiste Louise Bessette se distingue par l’excellence de ses performances sur scène. La critique s’est toujours montrée dithyrambique à son égard. Plusieurs compositeurs écrivent spécialement pour elle.
