Nous

It was seemingly a late Autumn season this year and the leaves held on to their branches a little longer than average this turn of the wheel. I watched as the final remaining members of the deciduous resistance proudly held their ground and clung to their branches, while the wind tried to seduce them to give up their futile attempt at immortality and surrender to the inevitable.  In bold defiance they refused and proudly flew their colorful flags of deep crimson, rust orange, and a shade of yellow so ineffably deep it does not even bare a name. They danced gallantly and gracefully with the wind as they moved in asymmetrical rhythms and flowing tempos - the mathematics of which seemingly beyond human intelligence, boarding on the divine. The eb and flow of the motion together with the beams of sunlight that would burst through the branches and cast a glimmering shimmer onto everything was truly an epically cinematic sight to behold! If I were a cinematographer this is what I would film.  As I am only a composer, I did the best I could with the tools available to my disposal...  I hope you may enjoy it...

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

--
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

~ The Arrow and the Song by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Composer, singer songwriter, piano. 
NEW SINGLE "Au nom de quoi ?" OUT, CLIP : https://youtu.be/Smfn6U56UWw

Dame Géraldine c'est le souffle de l'émotion brute, le contraste, la fragilité incandescente.
Auteur, compositeur, interprète, elle rencontre son piano à l'âge de 7 ans ; après 11 ans d'enseignement musical, elle s'intéresse à la composition.
Elle compose des pianos solo, intimes et introspectifs, ainsi que des thèmes cinématographiques.
Sur scène, ses chansons arborent une pop minimaliste, en français et en anglais. Avec plus d'1 million d'écoutes, elle est à présent compositeur pour des éditeurs comme BMG Production Music et le label Lost Tapes (Publicis - Prodigious France).
Son nouvel Ep "I will go" traduit une Pop feutrée et sensuelle aux couleurs cinématographiques, à mi-chemin entre London Grammar et Tori Amos. 
Listen/ écoute ici : https://imusiciandigital.lnk.to/NZm1pc9iEM
7 titres réalisés au Studio Elixir à Toulouse avec la participation de Thibault Monsch au saxo alto, Giovanni Scardino à la basse, et Léo Hugot à la guitare électrique ; il est disponible sur toutes les plateformes de téléchargement légales.
Il est très bien accueilli auprès des médias locaux : France Bleu Occitanie, La Dépêche du Midi, France 3 Occitanie.
Dans son prochain album à venir, elle fait évoluer ses parties rythmiques avec un zeste de textures électro pour colorer le tout !
