Princesse Emma by Stephane Sassi

Princesse Emma

 

 

"After the album Serge dedicated to his father, the pianist and composer Stéphane Sassi pays tribute to his mother, Emma, who passed away in 2022, through 20 evocative tracks, blending rock, jazz, atmospheres, and improvisation. We find him on piano, keyboards, electric guitar, and vocals, but also as an arranger and creator of atmospheres for this project that he led from start to finish.
Princesse Emma evokes the last image of Emma: beautiful, serene, and radiant like a princess." 

 



The album explores Emma's emotional world in a poetic and cinematic way, sculpting sounds to bring out its colors, rhythms, and nuances. Each track tells a story or a memory, in the manner of a portrait or a musical film where each instrument and each voice depict a facet of her personality.

 

The main voice of this album is highlighted by Yves Hafner's bass clarinet, whose deep and expressive timbre, velvety or heartbreaking, accompanies and reveals the beating heart of each composition.

During six months of mixing, each instrument was worked on with demanding technical logistics to bring out the emotions and create unique sound textures. The musicians' free solos provide authenticity and expressiveness, while the musical atmospheres alternate between sensitivity and gentle madness, rock and jazz improvisation.

 

On the track Francesca, Stéphane Sassi is joined by his little sister Virginie for an intimate and moving moment. The text, written in Spanish for the occasion, is carried by a spoken voice that enhances the deeply personal and touching dimension of this album.
