THE PROJECT

Painting by Marie Larrivé

My name is Guilhem Flouzat, I'm a drummer and composer. Turn the Sun To Green is my fourth release as a leader.

Turn the Sun to green is a series of songs which I composed in New York, at a time when after seven years spent in Manhattan I decided to return to Paris. My first three releases were mostly instrumental. On this one I wanted to finally bring together my long standing love for writing and my compositional researches. The lyrics are about growing up, desire, the creative process and the lives imagined. My goal is to offer a dive into the intimate, an experience both mysterious and familiar. The album now enters its final and most decisive phase : the manufacturing and release of a project which represents five years of my life.

THE MUSICIANS

Isabel Sorling - Voice

Laurent Coq - Piano

Ralph Lavital - Guitar

Desmond White - Double Bass

Guilhem Flouzat - Drums

The musicians by my side have known the very first stages of these songs, sung and played by me on the piano. They bring with them not only their exceptional craft as improvisers, but their tremendous depth of feeling as well. They've all been part of my musical as well as personal life for many years. Isabel Sorling sings these songs as though she had felt every moment leading to them. These carefully crafted song have been recorded in very organic and spontaneous fashion, all in one room.
