Take part in the release of “Time Keeper”, the debut album from Laurent Salzard! <img alt="8-1507205494" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/456001/8-1507205494.jpg"> Time Keeper, the one who keeps the tempoAfter years spent working and “keeping the tempo” for performers from all over the world - whilst navigating through varied musical styles with the artists he met along the way - it was time for Laurent to launch his own project and unveil his personal world, his musical identity. Time Keeper, the one who holds back timeAn album is some sort of guardian of time, a musical picture of a specific moment in the life of an artist. The recorded tracks are snapshots reflecting an inspiration, an emotion. They can therefore, in a way, hold back time.Laurent recorded his first album late this year. 10 compositions, 10 pictures starting a new film, like a new adventure, in order to show the creative aspect to his work, give life to his own compositions and launch himself into a voyage to search for his musical identity. To be released in January 2018 on the Dreamophone label <img alt="Capture_d__cran_2017-10-10___10.03.22-1507622755" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/456921/Capture_d__cran_2017-10-10___10.03.22-1507622755.png"> <img alt="5__plus_de_light_-1507125284" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/455707/5__plus_de_light_-1507125284.jpg"> A musical voyageThe music from this album will transport you through quiet, poetic and purely acoustic rivers, through seas troubled by electric storms, through warmer waters, to enter the port of a big, urban and resolutely modern city.Jazz, groove, touches of rock, electro and afro; all linked by lyricism and sensitivity. A certain delicacy, standing alongside wilder moments. An experienced crewIn order to make a success of this project, Laurent brought together a high-flying cast of musicians showing an extraordinary talent and an unfailing musicality: Anthony Jambon: guitarMartin Vangermée: drumsFred Dupont: piano, keyboardsChristophe Panzani: saxophone<img alt="Capture_d__cran_2017-10-04___17.16.32-1507131060" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/455762/Capture_d__cran_2017-10-04___17.16.32-1507131060.png"> At the helm, the ultra-talented engineer, Jean-Paul Gonnod.<img alt="Img_7320_-_copie_2-1507197737" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/455959/IMG_7320_-_copie_2-1507197737.jpg"> All skillfully mastered in New York by Alan Silvermann.
