There is a stillness running through this week’s acoustic bop. A stripped back arrangement deserves a little close listening, so let’s get stuck in ❤️🔥
Grand² – Hivernal
Grand² deliver a wonderful, tender and slow burning piano piece shaped by space, warmth and quiet emotional depth
Hivernal, moves with patience, and grace. It’s guided by wonderful soft piano phrasing and the natural resonance of each sustained note. Silence and restraint are playing an active role here, really allowing the melody to emerge in the best possible way.
Grand² are Quebec brothers Sylvain and Dominique Grand, collaborating on contemporary piano rooted in restraint and clarity. With this third solo piano release, they continue to refine a sound centred on intimacy and reflection, favouring nuance over virtuosity and creating music suited to late night vibes or focused listening. A beautiful piece.
