Lara Somogyi & Jean-Michel Blais
désert

PRE-ORDER: EXPECTED TO SHIP 14 MARCH

Pioneering electronic harpist Lara Somogyi and award-winning pianist/composer Jean-Michel Blais present their 2025 album, 'désert'. The album emerged from a serendipitous encounter at Lara's remote studio amidst the serene expanse of Joshua Tree. Entirely improvised, it captures the natural, organic interaction between the two artists, reflecting both their intuitive musical connection and the true essence of the moment in which they recorded it. Inspired by the passage from dawn to dusk, their improvisation distilled into eleven tracks - mirroring a journey from illumination to obscurity, from simplicity to intricacy, and from strangers to kindred spirits. Melodies convey transcendence and harmonies channel synchronicity - weaving an unforeseen, timeless narrative.
