The music of composer and pianist Nicolas Worms (born in 1993 in Paris) is a space where contradictory times and places converge. He develops the concept of ‘music-fiction’, as in the series FLOT, released by Alpha Classics in 2024. This new album arose from the simple yet dizzying need to summon the unknown within me. What can I draw from my heritage and my keyboards?” says Worms. With four of them – the grand piano, the CP-70 electric piano, the Prophet-V analogue synthesiser and the modular system – he embarks on a grand investigation and uses his instruments as “pieces of evidence”. L’Enquête comprises four parts and a coda. Some pieces are written in the style of a toccata or a nocturne. Others are improvised, more melodic, and others still more abstract… as in any investigation, it is a matter of changing perspective, retracing one’s steps, and allowing oneself to be surprised.
