A l’occasion de la journée du Jazz, découvrez le pianiste et clavériste Alexandre Herer.Après une dizaine d’albums au Fender Rhodes, avec OXYD, Magic Malik Fanfare XP, ou Nunataq, Alexandre Herer a développé, autour de cet instrument, plusieurs concepts d’écriture et affiné son langage d’improvisation.Dans la continuité du premier album, il propose avec Nunataq2 une musique ouverte, aérienne et volontairement froide, inspirée en partie par les grandes étendues de glace du Groenland, lieux témoins d’un climat passé résolument menacé par l’homme moderne. Souvent planante et entêtante, la musique de cet album se base sur des rythmes et des grooves parfois expérimentaux ou parfois simples. Alexandre pioche dans différents mondes harmoniques et mélodiques, issus de la musique contemporaine ou des musiques pop.
