The Canadian musician Gentiane MG plays notes like others use words to write emotions and sensations. Her music carries the listener, much like the lines of a poem. A pianist, Gentiane studied classical piano at the conservatory before delving into jazz at McGill University in Montreal. While her academic journey has been impressive, it carries the risk of becoming mechanical and detached from life’s complexities. However, Gentiane’s composition is an act of poetic translation, expressing what the external world and others stir within us.
Gentiane’s piece “Sœur Orchidée” is one of the highlights of her album, recorded in a trio format, showcasing delicate subtleties. Born in Quebec, Gentiane MG (Michaud-Gagnon) immersed herself in jazz at a Montreal university, breaking free from the traditional constraints of classical training to explore the depths of emotional expression through her music.
