Happy Piano Day!

88th day of the year again today, same as the number of the keys on a piano, and the pandemic is still a reality! Piano Day was invented to let likeminded people, piano lovers, piano players, tuners, builders, movers and of course, listeners, communicate with each other. But more importantly, to spread a message of hope and a proof that we can still celebrate life, and escape whenever we want into the safe universe of music.

“Celestial” is my contribution for this year’s piano celebration! Being filmed on “Spring Equinox”, the first day of astronomical spring (aka the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator), in a one-shot camera circular movement, reminiscent of a planet’s orbit…Do you think we are important? Do you think covid19 is worth the hype? Let’s take a step back and realize the impact that planetary movements have to human-scale reality. Just the right tilt, in the right time, and we have this orchard of blooming beauty.

DR-66 : Christopher Bissonnette - 'The Wine Dark Sea' CD / DL
due out on March, 13th
dronarivm.bandcamp.com

pre-orders start February 28th

The Wine Dark Sea is Bissonnette’s fifth solo studio album. The album’s title is derived from the writings of Homer, where he oft referred to a rough and stormy sea as “wine-dark”. Homer’s descriptions of colour are devoid of any reference to the colour blue. And any suggested meaning in his description of the sea point to the colour red. This apparent contradiction has brought much speculation about the significance and understanding of colour in ancient Greece. Keeping with the motif of colour, track titles on the album are based on references from contemporary artists and their insights on colour, form and implied meaning.

The album represents a shift for Bissonnette’s work, moving from an exclusively synth-based series of explorations to a hybrid of electronic and acoustic methods. The result is a rolling and slow-moving tide of tones and undulations. The textures are in some passages soft and mollifying but fluently shift to moments of tension and unease. The Wine Dark Sea is an aural allegory to sound and colour and our tenuous understanding of abstract meaning.
