Quentin Sirjacq, a French pianist-composer, releases his third original album. By comparing with the piano-focused previous album "Piano Memories", more rhythms can be heard through this entire album, by adding more polyrhythm patterns into music using percussions such as marimba, vibraphone, and glockenspiel. The tone color is selected from piano, fender rhodes, or synthesizer according to composition style, and also jazz and classical music composition style is combined into electronic music with a mixture of various rhythm and genres, which will bring a new interpretation to the music. Hoping to release an album from a faraway land Japan, then he began to explore for chances how the music can be accepted in the different culture. The music was written with his new sense by sharing the story, surrounding, and reality experienced in Japan. Quentin Sirjacq continues searching for what "music" should be, and all the possibilities are contained with disorder in this piece of album.

Artist Profile

  • Quentin Sirjacq

    Pianist/composer/multi-instrumentist Quentin Sirjacq was born in Paris in 1978. His eclectic musical interests keep him active as an improviser, a new music performer, and a composer of music for film, theater and radio. He studied at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague (Netherlands) between 1999 and 2004, where he completed an M.A. in Piano. While in the Netherlands, he played in a number of groups, he also worked with the bigband Tetzépi , Collison Palace and the Royal Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, and performed in such prestigious halls as the Bimhuis, Ijsbreker and Beurs van Berlage, in addition to appearing at various European festivals. He met Fred Frith in Amsterdam's avant-garde music circuit and played with him several times, which lead to his enrollment at Mills College, CA to study composition. While at Mills, he has performed the music of F. Rzewski, J. Tenney and F. Frith, among others, and premiered a new work by José Maceda with virtuoso percussionist William Winant. This experience has allowed him to expand his relationship with the piano and his approach of music between traditions and experimentation. Since his debut album "La chambre claire" (2009), he has worked and performed regularly with Dakota suite (Chris Hooson and David Buxton), and has started a collaboration with Akira Kosemura and Shin Kikuchi for japanese label Schole records which lead him to release several albums on this label as well as being invited to perform in solo in Japan. He composed often for radio, films, or stage....
