Cascades

by Jean-Michel Blais & CFCF

supported by

cabg2101 This time, JMB joins effort with electronic artist Michael Silver of CFCF. The result is an album that retains the intimacy we know the pianist for, while gaining a sense of enormous grandeur, making the listener feel something bigger than themselves. An impressive opus that encompasses all forms of sorrow. Favorite track: Hypocrite.

about

Cascades is the music collaboration between two Montreal-based musicians, neo-classical pianist Jean-Michel Blais, and genre-defying Grammy Award-nominated electronic producer Mike Silver (pka CFCF). Building off their sold out performance during the globally-celebrated 2016 Red Bull Music Academy, Cascades is a stunning 5-song, 30-minute meeting-of-minds that navigates the spaces between the artists’ respective crafts and tendencies toward playful minimalism. Featuring new versions from the duo’s catalogues, a reworking of John Cage’s “In A Landscape”, and a brand new, classical-meets-trance original composition, “Hypocrite”, Cascades is a celebration of the traditional and experimental, dissolving the old into the new.

Tracklist:
1. Hasselblad 1
2. Two Mirrors
3. Spirit
4. Hypocrite
5. In A Landscape (Rework)

I first heard this album as a college student not to long ago, as I prepped for some up coming finals. Since then this album has been a constant when I want to focus or wind down. danielro_

I got to see Jean-Michel perform early this year before the pandemic hit the US and we talked a little about his music - how it's not happy and not sad, but hopeful. I told him it made me believe in love again. It's was a nice evening that I find myself revisiting a lot these days. oopsallquiet
