Sylvain Chauveau

This is Sylvain Chauveau record #8. Sylvain Chauveau, piano. Recorded in 2008 by John McEntire in Chicago. 'Touching down lightly is a new full-length (surprise) album out on the Creative Sources imprint. Performed by Sylvain Chauveau (piano), recorded and mixed by John McEntire in Chicago. This is not the song-based album started early 2007 (still unfinished for now). Touching down lightly is the result of one day of improvisation at Soma Electronic Music Studio late November 2008: a way to create fresh, intuitive music, to play instantly, to avoid thinking during months before recording a single sound. This CD will be just one long piano piece (47 minutes), described as full of silences, soft piano notes, and very long sustains.
