New Release

‘ESTAMPES’

Guillaume Barraud and Mathieu Bélis
teamed up again to deliver a
colourful canvas of sounds. From the
synergy of the piano and the bansuri
emerges a language of its own.

A woodwind instrument whose

ancient origin is in Northern India,

the bansuri is a transverse flute

made of hollow bamboo pierced

with eight holes. It is associated with

Krishna : the shepherd, the lover.

It has a deep and warm tone colour.

Its close resemblance to the voice

gives the bansuri a prominent role

among Indian classical instruments.

Breath finds its own voice as it is

blown through the flute, revealing

a subtle, spellbinding song.
