Mathis Akengin

Sobre

With all these experiences under his belt, Mathis began to envision a solo project where he could create freely, experiment, and tell the stories running through his mind. The idea became a reality: it all starts with the piano, moving towards rhythmic taps on the wooden frame in sync the melodies. The piano became both the instrument and the muse. It was no longer about telling stories through it, but writing for it. Mathis transcribes oriental music for this European instrument, blending his French and Turkish roots. The inspiration flowed, and the album gradually took form. With piano flights reminiscent of Chilly Gonzales and indie-pop influences, "Passage des fleurs" offers a dreamy world where the poetry of Agnès Obel meets the sounds of Jeanne Added and the delicacy of Patrick Watson.
