Description
With eight pieces, Flore Laurentienne sought to give musical form to a painting. Music unfolds over time, while painting captures a single moment in the creative flow. How can these two arts align? Must music stop time? By structuring pieces around recurring cycles, the listener feels the music existed before and will persist after—creating a timeless snapshot, a musical still. This process revealed a shared connection between music and painting: both evoke contemplation. Another concept explored is randomness in music. Often linked to Riopelle’s automatism, his 1950s works suggest romantic abstraction or organic chaos, reflecting nature. Inspired by this, Flore wove controlled randomness—chaos filtered through emotion—into the music.
