Topic: Hiraezh (traditional songs from Brittany)
My partner Claire Boucher (a traditional singer from Brittany) and I just finished her second album, Hiraezh. Ten songs on the theme of love in all its dimensions: happy and sad, joyful and tragic. This is Celtic music so the balance tips decidedly toward the tragic, but the sad songs are full of desolate beauty.
All the piano and harp accompaniment are Pianoteq 7. The album was a pandemic project, recorded in our living room over the course of a year.
