Montreal-born artist Jean-Michel Blais releases sérénades, the companion to his acclaimed aubades which saw the musician's transition from pianist to ensemble composer. The new release is a return to form, featuring intimate solo piano versions of the tracks “amour” and ”ouessant”, as well as three new compositions. sérénades is the nocturnal, stripped-back counterpart to the orchestral brightness of aubades.
“This EP is the length of the recommended nap: 25 to 30 minutes. To be honest, I've never been able to listen to this EP without drifting into sleep. I normally try and make my music play with your attention by constantly introducing new elements. But with this EP I was thinking about music of the night. It’s not meant to distract you and keep you alert. Please fall asleep to it.”
