Jean-Michel Cazorla - Réflexions (2021)

Two years after his album entitled "The road of the solar wind" Jean-Michel Cazorla returns to the studio for the recording of Reflections.

We find with pleasure the ample sonority of his guitar, and this gluttony always on the alert for neat harmonizations and unexpected modulations.

But the evocation of the vast expanses of Brittany and of a maritime space shaped by the wave and the surf is followed by a completely different approach: this time Jean-Michel takes us into a kind of musical introspection and invites us closer to his creative process.

The metaphor of water is still present, this time enhanced by the photos of Véronique Bonnet.

In a subtle play of mirrors, tones, patterns and atmospheres gradually aggregate with imperceptible movements, and here become the musical reflection of a peaceful and secret aquatic universe.

If the musician's approach is the result of personal and instantaneous reflection, she never intends to constrain the listener but to leave him free to make his own interpretation.

Jean-Michel Cazorla's music is in no way descriptive music.

Photographer and composer basically take an identical path: that which consists in taming reflections, light effects, marine atmospheres without renouncing personal expression, but leaving to each one the care of making them their own: there are a thousand ways to do it.
