Acclaimed Montreal-based fiddler Laura Risk returns with a brand new album, Traverse — a musical journey into the heart of traditional fiddle music that resonates with nuance and vitality. From Montreal to the Gaspé via Scotland, Traverse’s 10 tracks draw from deep immersion into traditional musical communities, as well as a curiosity towards innovation and exploration. Her distinctive sound and compelling interpretations of traditional tunes are intensely personal yet grounded in meticulous archival and ethnographic research.
“Traditional musics are often charged with carrying a sense of cultural identity or nationhood,” Laura explains. “From the inside, however, fiddling more often feels to me as if it is about carrying and creating community. Tunes are like unspoken stories: they traverse distances between people that can’t be bridged by words. My last solo album was in 2004, the year before my son was born. Two decades later, this album is born of the roller coaster that is middle age: love and belonging, learning and teaching, memory and loss.”
With Nicholas Williams on accordion and flute, and Rachel Aucoin on piano, Traverse features a trio composed of three top musicians who have each come to Quebec from elsewhere — Laura from California, Nicholas from Ottawa, and Rachel from the Maritimes – and have been deeply involved with traditional Québécois music for several decades.
Together, these three artists play with presence, knife’s-edge precision, and a rare intuitive connection that draws listeners into a riveting musical experience.
