Vincent Peirani "Living Being IV: Time Reflections" =
Vincent Peirani: Accordion, accordina / Tony Paeleman: Rhodes, piano / Emile Parisien: Soprano saxophone / Julien Herné: Bass / Yoann Serra: Drums.

With 'Living Being IV: Time Reflections', Vincent Peirani and his quintet present a work deeply rooted in the reflection and musical exploration of time. Made up of Émile Parisien, Tony Paeleman, Yoann Serra and Julien Herné, this new project invites you to explore a sound where every note is imbued with the complexity and nuances of the rhythm of life. Born in the particular context of the first months of the Covid pandemic, this record is the fruit of a moment of forced pause for Vincent Peirani, a break in his daily life that led him to meditate on the way in which time shapes our lives and our perception of the world. "Time Réflections" is a mosaic of contemporary beats and echoes of traditional dances, with a nod to baroque music, which finds an unexpected and poetic place here.

Vincent Peirani's collaborations with artists from diverse backgrounds add an intertextual dimension to his music. In this album, the influences of Beninese guitarist Lionel Loueke and German pianist Michael Wollny are clearly evident in two tracks specially dedicated to them.
These resonances illustrate the richness and diversity that characterise Peirani's work, offering a musical experience that is both introspective and universal.
