Double-album "Murmures/Rumeurs"
This year I'm releasing a new double-album called "Murmures/Rumeurs": 2 cds, 2 projets, one double-album.
Artists are not always the best at talking about their own art, therefore I leave you with the words of Jacques Prouvost to present this new project: "Mystical, introspective, spiritual and then suddenly angry, exalted, heretical; the music of Tom Bourgeois has something solemn and pagan at the same time. Everything questions itself in this fascinating double album, which diverts us from a single way of thinking. Everything is delicate and contrasting. Nothing is ever completely black, never completely white. Nothing is ever just gray either. And Tom Bourgeois plays on this fragile balance. This double album is designed like a mirror: two bands, two discs, "Murmures" and its (almost) anagram "Rumeurs", where each title responds to its counterpart on the other side. We go from renaissance and baroque to jazz, from improvisation to chamber music, from hints of blues (or almost) to dislocated swing. We can have fun finding the common points or the differences on the two sides of this double disc, but the best thing is to let ourselves be carried away by the murmur - or the rumors - of these enigmatic musical stories. " Jacques Prouvost The double-album will be released at the end of March on the German label NeuklangRecords, it's our 3rd collaboration. The Belgian release will take place on the 9th of April at JazzStation in Brussels.
