Composer: Michael Snow

The initial project was to publish a double album, with one disc of Michael Snow improvising on the piano and another of Michael Snow working on a more conceptual approach of the instrument by using a Disklavier. The Disklavier is a standard grand piano fitted with a system that enables an artist to control it via a computer. Hence, the possibility for the artist to conceive sound constructions that are not limited by muscular constraints or by reflexes formed through years of practice on the keyboard. Hence again, the opportunity to transpose shapes or structures from other disciplines into the resonant universe. But, fortunately, the artist had a mind of his own. He convinced us that two disks would not be sufficient, that three would be necessary, because there is also Michael Snow the bluesman and jazzman, without whom the picture would be incomplete. Then, he had us listen, and we had to admit that, sanctified or not, this trinity resolves itself very well into a single box set and a single artist: there is one multi-faceted Michael Snow, whose consistency, while sometimes obscured to our ears by a profusion of languages, remains unshakeable. Michael Snow - 3 phases is thus a three cds set, presenting piano works from this extraordinary artist, accompanied by a 48-page booklet including a text by Raymond Gervais commissionned specially for this publication. A milestone.
