Bruissements by Christine Tassan

FR :
L’album Bruissement boréal qui sortira le 9 mai, 2025, regroupe treize compositions de Marie-Véronique Bourque et Christine Tassan, inspirées par les sons de la nature de la Saskatchewan et du Québec, lieux de résidence respectifs des deux musiciennes. Le morceau Bruissements, composition de Christine Tassan, s’inspire du bruissement des feuilles d’un hêtre agitées par le vent d’automne. Il évoque le son des balais sur la caisse claire et a donné à Christine l’idée de composer ce morceau au rythme effréné, aux accents latins qui met à l’honneur la virtuosité de la guitariste et de la flûtiste.

 The album Bruissement boréal set to be released on May 9, 2025, brings together thirteen compositions by Marie-Véronique Bourque and Christine Tassan, inspired by the sounds of nature from Saskatchewan and Quebec, the respective places of residence of the two musicians. The piece Bruissements, composed by Christine Tassan, is inspired by the rustling of beech leaves stirred by the autumn wind. It evokes the sound of brushes on the snare drum and gave Christine the idea to compose this piece with a frenetic rhythm and Latin accents, highlighting the virtuosity of the guitarist and the flutist.

Jazz flutist Marie-Véronique Bourque, an extremely talented artist from Saskatchewan, is not afraid to think and act outside the box. Her original songs and unique interpretations of jazz standards pair beautifully with her unique cross genre style.

Semi-finalist of the International Songwriting Competition and the Unsigned Only Competition, she is also a Saskatchewan Music Awards nominee.
