Laurent Salzard - Time Keeper (2018) [Hi-Res]

After years spent working and “keeping the tempo” for performers from all over the world - whilst navigating through varied musical styles with the artists he met along the way - it was time for Laurent to launch his own project and unveil his personal world, his musical identity.
An album is some sort of guardian of time, a musical picture of a specific moment in the life of an artist. The recorded tracks are snapshots reflecting an inspiration, an emotion. They can therefore, in a way, hold back time.
Laurent recorded his first album late this year. 10 compositions, 10 pictures starting a new film, like a new adventure, in order to show the creative aspect to his work, give life to his own compositions and launch himself into a voyage to search for his musical identity.
The music from this album will transport you through quiet, poetic and purely acoustic rivers, through seas troubled by electric storms, through warmer waters, to enter the port of a big, urban and resolutely modern city.
Jazz, groove, touches of rock, electro and afro; all linked by lyricism and sensitivity. A certain delicacy, standing alongside wilder moments.
