Jean-Michel Blais

Relentlessy creative pianist and composer Jean-Michel Blais’s projects are ever evolving, from electronic collaborations to orchestral compositions. The origins of his fourth album, mirador, are remembrances from childhood. As a musical kid and queer person, with Tourette's—Blais' basement was his imaginary lookout, his "mirador," from which he could dream the world.

There, he'd browse in wonder through a Larousse encyclopedia; play with the family's cheap Hammond organ and endlessly replay the same cassettes.
