Tom Bourgeois

A type of music that sometimes draws on jazz, sometimes on contemporary music, but without merely just creating a collage. On the contrary, it is rather the singularity of a coherent voice which forms this alliance. Tom Bourgeois offers us paradoxical music with Lili, very constructed and also free at the same time. A very alive sound reminding us that love transcends gender and years

"Archipel" is a set of pieces for piano composed by Tom Bourgeois and interpreted by Léna Kollmeier. After their first collaboration, the two musicians continue their research around the solo repertoire. If the previous set "September" focused on short forms, here the subject is more stretched, more dense. "Archipelago” is a name given to a few pieces of this new opus, made of small interconnected stories; like islands, each with its own story but always linked to the others.

MURMURES, like the warm breath of someone familiar, whispering softly, gently in your ears. MURMURES, like the sound of an intimate word, like timidly sharing a secret. The saxophone, the guitar, the accordion and the singing design a poetic, idyllic atmosphere. In alliance or alone, they oat smoothly, resembling the movement of the human soul. On the way for looking themselves, they improvise, and finally they encounter utterly during the moments of sharing.
