Mathieu David Gagnon has long worked in the shadow of remarkable projects as an arranger, orchestrator, musical director and director. While continuing to juggle the projects of others, he secretly followed a personal inspiration and, after several months of work, finally unveiled his work, Flore Laurentienne, Vol. 1. It is difficult to describe this project in a few words. This strangely natural marriage between the string orchestra and the synthesizers of the 60s and 70s is expressed in eight pieces, which transport us sometimes on the river road, sometimes in a memory. It is an awakening to beauty and above all, an invitation to contemplation.
