- Frédéric L’Epée: Contre Courant
(2026, download / streaming, --, bandcamp / cuneiform)
The Cuneiform Records label continues their series of download / streaming-only releases. It even looks as they have picked up the pace.
One of the more recent releases on the Cuneiform label is Frédéric L'Epée's "Contre Courant" to which Frédéric added:
"As we have all experienced, music has healing properties.
Without thinking about it or seeking it out, the music I have created in recent years has very often taken the form of a therapeutic act, like a musical cure aimed at bringing peace
and serenity.
Most of us are aware of the decline of the Western world. Although it has long been presented to us as the best possible, the inevitability of its collapse, dragging all of humanity down with it, is now becoming increasingly clear. Some people are still standing up to fight against this meltdown, and their humanitarian, social, or political actions help us to maintain hope. Some others strive to ease suffering and tensions, more like caregivers.
Unconsciously, my musical work has gradually shifted toward—and then identified with— a kind of treatment, an act of abstract care."

The result is beautiful.
Fifteen pieces of solo electric guitar.
Melodic, narrative, meditative.
