Jean-Michel Blais is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on April 1, 1984 in Nicolet, Nicolet, Canada. Michael Silver (CFCF) and Blais first collaborated when the Red Bull Music Academy sponsored a live performance featuring the two artists. Blais and Silver found that they lived around the corner from each other, then started finding similarities in their music and composition style. Cascades features two songs each of their solo works, reworked as a duo, and a cover of John Cage’s “In a Landscape'”(1948).
Dans ma main is Blais’ sophomore solo record, released via Arts & Crafts on May 11, 2018. Exclaim! gave the album 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”. On the album, he experiments with different synth and electronic textures, a concept introduced to him while working with CFCF. Blais explains in a conversation with CFCF and Red Bull Music Academy, “I never want to lose contact with the original piano instrument, but we have so many tools now to treat it differently than to just have the instrument on its own, so why not use them, and how? It certainly is opening. It gives me sounds and texture possibilities”. The album was a shortlisted finalist for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize. In August 2019, Blais released an EP of remixes of Dans ma main.
In October 2019, Blais released the soundtrack to the Canadian film Matthias & Maxime. He received special mention at the Cannes Soundtrack Award in May of the same year.
Eviction Sessions is Blais’ third project, released via Arts & Crafts on Nov 30, 2018. Eviction Sessions was inspired when Blais was informed he would be evicted from the apartment where he had lived for seven years due to gentrification within his Montreal neighbourhood. This was the same apartment in which Blais recorded his first album of instrumental music, Il. [1]
