Acoustic guitar, solo or duo.
"Pierre himself recorded and put together, organized and remixed the 12 pieces on this cd. He carefully alternates between duo pieces with Hervé Samb and solo pieces.
His resolutely delicate playing and his refined sound find a way of exploring the guitar in an almost pianistic manner, mixing single lines and chords in a very original and harmonious contrapuntal way. The beautiful composition 'Ocean' illustrates this aspect. The music always flows naturally.
Let's not be mistaken: the accessible side to the music which Pierre wanted for this cd does not prevent him from using his original phrasing throughout his improvisations.
The result is explicit yet very 'Van Dormaelian'."...
