Mitte väga ammu oli Gauthier Toux alles noor ja lootustandev artist. Nüüdseks on ta vaid 29-aastasena jõudnud esmaklassiliste muusikute ukselävele, et võtta sisse koht tulevaste legendide seas. Pärast põhjalikku ja põhjendatud kõrvalepõiget elektroonilise muusika maailma (albumiga „For a Word“), on Toux jõudnud tagasi akustilise muusika juurde, kutsudes selleks kokku koosseisu, mis on teda ahvatlenud juba teismeeast alates – trio.
Prantsuse-Šveitsi juurtega pianist kompab oma uue albumiga maastikku, mis sarnaneb eelmise kogumiku „For a Word“ stiiliga, pöörates erilist tähelepanu vormi tähendusele ja kultiveerides kollektiivset kõla, mis ulatub pelga individuaalse eneseväljenduse piiridest kaugemale. Sel korral võtab ta ette akustilisemad kõlad, milles väljendub siiski sama entusiasm, mis varasemates peenelt kootud ning müstiliselt meloodilistes elektroonilistes teostes.
Muusika vabaneb klassikalistest vormidest, pillid sulanduvad soojalt üksteisesse ning nende eraldiseisvad funktsioonilised rollid hajuvad tervikusse. Nõnda kostuvad trummidel ka meloodiad, bassil kontrapunktilisus ja klaveril kindel rütmiraamistik. Trio mõtestab end orkestriks ning avastab nii kõiki loomingulisi vorme ja võimalusi. Toux’ lavapartneriteks on Maxence Sibille ja Simon Tailleu, täiendades trio kooskõla kindlakäeliselt ja meisterlikult.
Koosseis:
Gauthier Toux – klaver

Not so long ago, Gauthier Toux was a young, promising artist. And here he is, at just 29, knocking on the door of the big league, quietly joining the small circle of those who will matter going forward. After an impressive detour through the worlds of electric and electronic music in the form of a profound, judicious sidestep (“For a Word”), he’s back in the acoustic business with a formation that has fascinated him ever since his teens, and one that he reinvents here: The trio.
By paying extreme attention to the meaning of the form and by cultivating the obsession of a collective sound that stretches far beyond individual expression, with his new album, the French-Swiss pianist explores a territory close to “For a Word”. This time, he digs into the acoustic sound with the same enthusiasm that previously drove him when he was wowing electronic webs to adorn his melodies with unfathomable mystery. Spurred by the same strength, moved by the same desire to shape the sonic material, he pilots a triangular ship that reaches just as far. Freed from classical forms, each instrument snuggles up to the others, its sole functional role no longer prioritized. As a result, the drums narrate melodies, the bass draws counterpoints, and the piano offers an unrelenting rhythmic frame. The trio is conceived in orchestral fashion, exploring all options and every possible layout.
Maxence Sibille (drums) and Simon Tailleu (bass) are the essential partners of these daring geometries, which require audacity and confidence on one hand, intuition, and mastery on the other. As dynamic as Gauthier Toux may be, he’s also a thinking man and an artist sensitive to the world’s clamor and the ways of his soul. An unremitting seeker, he has hereby found his own path, one that will undoubtedly see him go places.
Line-up:
Gauthier Toux – piano
Maxence Sibille – drums
Simon Tailleu – bass
