about

English version :

After being the first french concert pianist to support, perform avant-garde, experimental & minimalism music all around the world, with event such as the Night of Minimal Piano, it was time to create a Label / Série dedicated to all the discoveries I did during those last 2 decades : the Nicolas Horvath Discoveries (Collections 1001 Notes)

On this release, I am recording the work of the very first (and totally forgotten & neglected) french minimalist composer : Jean Catoire.
His entire piano works are lasting more than 30 hours ! It will be divided on 8 Volumes.
Due to Bandcamp limitations, I am only able to release those musical works in parts.

This very last volume is very special, as i discovered (while i prepared the digital version), that the composer, on his notes, wrote something very obscure, and ... accompanied with his "drowing from God" in fact this Opus 520 was not 3 / 4 hours long as it is said, that those 8 Parts are basics forms of a way larger work, and in fact, the Opus 520 is .... 25 hours long !
It is impossible to post it on Bandcamp (unfortunately), but soon in Youtube, you will be able to experience the whole 25 hours long piece !

French Version :

Après avoir été le premier concertiste français à soutenir, diffuser des musiques d'avant-garde, expérimentales et minimalistes dans le monde entier, avec des événements tels que la Nuit du Piano Minimal, il était temps de créer un Label / Série dédié à toutes les découvertes que j'ai faites durant ces 2 dernières décennies : The Nicolas Horvath Discoveries (Collections 1001 Notes)

Le long de cet album, j'enregistre l'œuvre du tout premier (et totalement oublié et négligé) compositeur minimaliste français : Jean Catoire.
L'ensemble de ses œuvres pour piano dure plus de 30 heures ! Il sera divisé en 8 tomes.
En raison des limites de Bandcamp, je ne peux publier ces œuvres musicales que découpées en de nombreuses parties.

Ce tout dernier volume est très spécial, car j'ai découvert (en préparant la version numérique), que le compositeur, sur ses notes, écrivait quelque chose de très obscur, et... accompagné de son "drowing from God" en fait cet Opus 520 n'a pas duré 3/4 d'heures comme on dit, que ces 8 parties sont des formes basiques d'un travail bien plus important, et en fait, l'Opus 520 fait.... 25 heures !
Il est impossible de le poster sur Bandcamp (malheureusement), mais bientôt sur Youtube, vous pourrez vivre l'intégralité du morceau de 25 heures !
