Nicolas Folmer - Breathe (2022) Hi-Res

After a very noticed tribute to Miles Davis with the album So Miles released in 2019, trumpeter Nicolas Folmer returns with his dream team to present his new original repertoire, entirely composed during confinement.

This new opus responds to our universal need for freedom and hope from both a human and societal point of view. Nicolas Folmer wishes to unite his audience by immersing himself in an idealized "world after", leaving room for deep introspection specific to each listener, letting go, dreaming, sharing and freedom.

The rhythms offer an original synthesis of current sounds from Trap, Dubstep, Electro House, Electro Shaabi with the universe of Nicolas. The finesse of the renowned composer and arranger Nicolas is also expressed through an assumed minimalism and a return to his roots, in particular through a tribute to Lucky Peterson with whom the trumpeter shared the stage and lived the "On the Road" experience. ".

Breathe embodies the original breathing of all life and the rethinking of the meaning of our existence during this personal and global awareness.

The artist makes us dive into the immensity of the sea with the title Open Mind or into the infinity of space with Space Mystery. Through No Money No Gun, Nicolas exposes our life before and fantasizes the possibilities. Marseille Agadir on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea, mother of our civilization, takes us to an existential crossroads...

This album is an artistic dichotomy between our lives at a hundred miles an hour and a world where time would be in suspension imbued with a libertarian poetry.
