Rooted in the Québec landscape and inspired by the vastness of the St. Lawrence River, Flore Laurentienne’s music— a harmonious blend of strings and analog synthesizers—takes us on a journey to the edge of the sublime, where we find ourselves both fragile and powerful, suspended between vulnerability and wonder.
Flore Laurentienne draws inspiration from contrasting worlds: the melodic clarity and counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach; the narrative intensity and progressive audacity of King Crimson; and the electronic minimalism of Hans-Joachim Roedelius. From this unexpected encounter at the crossroads of classical, progressive, and experimental music, a dense and generous sound emerges, with unapologetic lyricism and dynamic textures. While deploying a unique and sophisticated language, Laurentienne's music seeks depth rather than complexity.
On stage, Laurentienne comes to life through a core ensemble of seven musicians. At the center stands composer and keyboardist Mathieu David Gagnon, surrounded by a string quartet and two keyboardists-percussionists. Over the past five years, they have developed a rich shared experience of live performance, a natural rapport and an instinctive bond that nourish both the project and the composer’s work. The power of the MiniMoog, the ensemble’s emblematic instrument, combined with the richness of the strings, creates a captivating interplay that draws the listener into a unique and memorable experience.
