L'un a reçu une formation musicale (Albert), l'autre est autodidacte (Chartrand Saint-Louis), tout en ayant recours aux conseils d'Albert.

L'un a joué dans sa jeunesse (Albert) et renoué plus tard avec la musique, l'autre a découvert le jeu musical à l’âge adulte (Chartrand Saint-Louis). 

L'un et l'autre – compagnon et compagne dans la vie – cheminent dans le monde de l'improvisation et de la composition musicale en parcourant leurs intuitions, impressions, sentiments et observations de la vie.

Ensemble, ils créent un espace où leurs talents musicaux se fusionnent et se complètent.

Leur musique est empreinte d’une atmosphère introspective et paisible. Leurs compositions, principalement au piano, évoquent des émotions subtiles et invitent à la réflexion.

Leurs thèmes musicaux sont étroitement liés à leur amour de la nature.

« Il faut composer tout de suite, se mettre dans le bain et s'instruire en créant. »
– Balakirev

«De la simplicité, de la sincérité, il n'y a rien de tel...»
– Moussorgsky

« Il n'y a pas de théorie : suffit d'entendre. Le plaisir est la règle. »
– Debussy

[English]

One received musical training (Albert), the other is self-taught (Chartrand Saint-Louis), while resorting to Albert's advice.

One played in his youth (Albert) and later returned to music, the other discovered musical playing as an adult (Chartrand Saint-Louis).

Both – companions and companions in life – journey through the world of improvisation and musical composition, exploring their intuitions, impressions, feelings and observations of life.

Together, they create a space where their musical talents merge and complement each other.

Their music is imbued with an introspective and peaceful atmosphere. Their compositions, mainly on the piano, evoke subtle emotions and invite reflection.

Their musical themes are closely linked to their love of nature.

« You have to compose straight away, get into the swing of things and learn by creating. »
– Balakirev

« Simplicity, sincerity, there is nothing like it... »
– Moussorgsky

« There is no theory : just hear. Pleasure is the rule.»
– Debussy
