"Natures" is the second monographic album of composer David Chaillou and will be released at GENUIN. An illustrious group of internationally renowned musicians, including pianist Laura Mikkola and cellist Christoph Pantillon, dedicates itself to the French composer's expansive, shimmering, immersive sounds. In his works for cello, piano, string quartet, percussion, and natural sounds, Chaillou conjures a sonic journey through the course of a day, through imaginary landscapes and spaces. The compositions are impressionistic and suggestive, rich in detail, with sweeping lines, and filled with symbols and emotion.
