Pioneering electronic harpist Lara Somogyi and award-winning pianist/composer Jean-Michel Blais unveil their captivating 2025 album, Desert Dreams. This collection arose from a serendipitous meeting at Lara’s remote studio in the tranquil expanse of Joshua Tree, resulting in an album that is entirely improvised.
Each track captures the organic interplay between these two extraordinary artists, showcasing their deep musical connection and the essence of their recording moment. Inspired by the journey from dawn to dusk, this album features eleven tracks that reflect a transition from light to shadow, simplicity to complexity, and from strangers to kindred spirits. The melodies evoke transcendence, while the harmonies create a sense of synchronicity, weaving an unexpected, timeless narrative.
