The first monograph devoted to the piano works of Frédéric Lagnau, whose music, with its communicative energy, offers a personal and poetic approach to minimalism. Sensitivity to sound, harmonic beauty and rhythmic intensity are its hallmarks.
Frédéric Lagnau (1967-2010) was a French composer and pianist. A student of Louis Andriessen and
Frederic Rzewski, admired by composer Tom Johnson, influenced by the minimalist movement (Steve Reich, John Adams, Arvo Pärt) and open to pop and progressive experimentation, he is the author of a body of work claimed to be post-modern, associated with so-called repetitive music. Having released two albums under his own name (
Journey to inti and
Jardins cycliques) and participated in several recordings, both as performer and composer, he has also made excursions into the fields of song, stage music (participating in some fifteen theatrical creations), film and television.
Denis Chouillet (born 1968) is a French composer and pianist. A fellow musician with the
Dedalus ensemble and singer Élise Caron, and an interpreter of composers as diverse as
Luc Ferrari, Gérard Pesson, David Lang and
Pierre-Yves Macé, he writes eclectic music that has been described as post-modern, but which tends towards purity and concision.
