After having in a previous album exposed his solitary exploration of the piano, Christofer Bjurstrom wanted to share a journey in the sounds and atmospheres of the many musics he wrote for silent cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0These musics were all born from encounters with silent films from the beginning of the 20th century. Many different \u00ab\u00a0colors\u00a0\u00bb associated to many instrumental combinations. In the end, these wanderings in these different universes gave me the feeling of being one of those travelers traveling the world, his sketchbook in hand: beyond the apparent diversity of the places crossed, the sketches reveal as much the look that has been placed on the place as the atmosphere lived. This album was born from the desire to share this musical journey and these encounters with the musicians who accompanied me throughout this \u00ab\u00a0wandering\u00a0\u00bb….. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this album, there is no fixed band, but several musical formations depending on the songs. The diversity of atmospheres depends on the diversity of timbres, and interactions between musicians. Several formations, several atmospheres, but the same look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ten musicians who participate in the recording are among the companions to whom Christofer Bjurstrom is faithful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We meet musicians from the Breton scene and others from elsewhere, met over the scenes, over the course of the creations…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of musicians, the diversity of the instruments summoned, the variety of timbres and colours of Christofer Bjurstrom’s musical compositions make this phonographic production a series of animated and pictorial journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
