Blending his conservatory ': ,: skill and precise pop sensibility with synthetic accompaniment, :, : Blais creates unique environments where the pianoÆs intimacy can : :' be subtly disrupted at any time. ': ,: :, : Dans ma main weaves together expressive piano with austere : :' synths in a double-helix of acoustic and electronic ': ,: arpeggiation, tethering techno, industrial, ambient, and new age :, : music to BlaisÆ solo piano essence. : :' ': ,: Dans ma main explores an everyday life awash in spirituality, :, : stemming from BlaisÆ interplay with music as therapy. Compelled : :' by the cathartic air that audiences exude in his pin-drop ': ,: performances, Blais considers how music has served as a tool of :, : wellness in his own life. From his prior career in special : :' education, to the role classical and ambient music played ': ,: soothing the Tourettic symptoms he experienced as a child, :, : Jean-MichelÆs new compositions subconsciously call upon these : :' periods of his life, reimagining a serenity he had only ': ,: experienced seated at the piano. :, : : :' Decidedly not limited to the keys as his compositional palette, ': ,: BlaisÆ music is imbued with an emotional depth that belies its :, : wordlessness. His playing and composition are poetic in : :' themselves, with an inspired understanding of the inherent ': ,: lyricism in instrumental music. :, : : :' The result, as BlaisÆ body of work unfurls, is the creation of ': ,: a new musical forum where freshly sounded notes bounce back :, : instantly with the magic and wisdom of shared space. Dans ma : :' main captures but one moment of this infinite lineage, but with ': ,: it comes the reminder of all the energy we hold in our own :, : hands, in this moment. As Blais says: ôLike pieces of an unclear : :' puzzle, a melting mirror, hope lays right there, into our ': ,: singular hands, with which we love, we fail, we pray, we steal, :, : we give, we try, we pay, we pluck, we muff, we scratch, we : :' touch, we play, we hold each otherÆs hands.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
