French musician LAAKE is grounded in the neo-classical piano tradition, but he loves dance and techno as well. On his new album Volt he brings it all together with widescreen, cinematic compositions. It is an eclectic and energetic journey, wherein the genres join in for a dance during anything can happen. Pulsating beats get in sync with fast-paced piano and keyboards runs, before taking down a notch for a string of subdued bars to offer a chance to catch your breath.
Avant-garde, pop and jazz are treated like equals, with none of the genres getting the upper hand. It is a celebration of music as a whole and will convince dance lovers of the perks of immersing themselves into classical music. And it works the other way round too. It is a hypnotic, pulsating album that sends a current throught the listener's body without getting a shock.
Volt is released via SOMAA (vinyl, CD).
