The mandolin is an instrument in perpetual motion, both rooted in history and very active today.
With this album, I wanted to tell a story, that of an often unknown but incredibly rich instrument, capable of dialoguing as well with baroque music as with contemporary sounds.
This musical journey follows three major routes: Germany, Italy, and Japan, three lands where the mandolin has left a strong and unique mark. Each piece I've chosen is a stopover, a soundscape that touches me and that, I hope, will transport you in turn.
It's also a more intimate journey. This first solo album is a way of revealing myself through my instrument, sharing what drives me and what connects me to music. I wanted to put my sensitivity, my musical identity, and this passion for the mandolin that never stops pushing me forward.
I invite you to embark with me, to let these Travel Notes take you where sounds become emotions, and where the mandolin reveals itself in all its plurality.
