Grégoire Gerstmans

"Quelque part entre modernité et respect des traditions"

In a fast-paced society, Grégoire Gerstmans deliberately slows down time.

Grégoire grew up surrounded by music. Alone with his piano, somewhere between modernity and respect for tradition, he draws out the dream in all of us through the minimalist purity of his melody. His live show is punctuated by electro touches and soundtracks combining everyday life and text.

Passionate about music, painting, videography and photography, Grégoire creates his own visual universe and attaches great importance to the interaction between image and sound. His main artistic references are Arvo Pärt, Aphex Twin and Philip Glass, as well as Bill Viola and Yves Klein.

At Bota, Grégoire will be presenting his debut album 'Hypnagogie', due for release on 29 November on the PIAS label.
