Dans ma main

Dans ma main is the sophomore studio album from French-Canadian pianist and composer, Jean-Michel Blais, released on May 11, 2018 via Arts & Crafts.

On the Dans ma main, Blais experiments with different synth and electronic textures, a concept introduced to him while working with CFCF on Cascades.

wrote that, "Blais's Ableton Live explorations mark everything here, but for the most part, they're employed as a means of expanding on the piano's own abilities, further processing acoustic sounds to make them spin into focus".

gave the album a 9/10 in an early review, writing "Far from spiralling inward, as always, Blais lets it all flow through him, and as private becomes public, the result is yet another intimate masterpiece".

[2] CBC's Ariane Cipriani summarized the album, writing "Dans ma main is also an invitation to ask our [hand], in this frantic world that leaves little place to sigh.
