Grégoire Gerstmans unveils L'écorce du zèbre: a new track with a pure and hypnotic melody

After a resounding success at Les Nuits Botanique festival in 2023, a packed house at the Quaregnon international piano festival and 500,000 streams on debut track Aujourd'hui, Liège-based pianist Grégoire Gerstmans — noticed for his instrumental cover of Apocalypse (Cigarettes After Sex) — today unveils L'écorce du zèbre: a new track with a pure and hypnotic melody. A veritable ode to slowness and letting go:

"In today's fast-paced society, I want to deliberately slow down time, to fill it with emptiness."

Following in the footsteps of the likes of Nils Frahm, Philip Glass and Ólafur Arnalds, Gregoire Gerstmans is gradually establishing himself as a key player on the European neo-classical scene.

With a raw, unadorned piano sound, the artist has developed a highly personal universe between modernity and tradition. Passionate about music, but also about video and photography, the composer strives to create an all-encompassing, beautiful and sensitive body of work — just like his music.

Alone with his piano, he draws out the dream in all of us through the minimalist purity of his melodiousness. Be ready for your daily dose of beauty.
