Le Valseur de Bois
This orchestral electroacoustic album on the Adventurous Music label (Leipzig, Germany) was inspired by the Murder Mystery novel "Le Valseur de Bois". The music depicts impressions of different parts and characters in the story, linked to one another by short transitions.

"It's one of those rare albums that surprises and delights in the most
unexpected ways, and seems to totally defy categorization [...]
[...] "L'artiste canadien Lauré Lussier nous transporte dans un conte des milles et une nuits,
[...] "We are writing because Bruce played Lauré Lussier's album on Grey Clay Radio. It is one of the best albums we have heard this year. We loved it.

If you get a chance, please tell Lauré he is brilliant!
Appreciatively,

Pelléas & Mélisande
Lauré Lussier's second orchestral electroacoustic album on Adventurous Music (Leipzig, Germany).
This album is based and was inspired by Maurice Maeterlinck's (1862-1949) symbolic and tragic play "Pelléas et Mélisande".
Mélisande, a young woman, is found lost in the forest by Prince Golaud. He will take her to the castle of his grandfather, King Arkel where Golaud will take care of her and marry her. She and Pelléas, Golaud’s half-brother, fall in love with one another, which arouses a mad jealousy in the husband.
Maurice Maeterlinck's play is a timeless and symbolist drama. The major dramaturgical characteristic of the play is darkness and penumbra; the weak luminosity covers the vulnerability of two secret lovers who should not be seen... It is better to rise to the degree of symbolist vision to see through and beyond.
The music was composed first, with the specific dialogs in mind. The musical motifs associated to the play’s characters’ strengths, weaknesses and inner thoughts have been composed in relation to the different themes and situations that evolve throughout the work.
Pelléas & Mélisande by Lauré Lussier is an interpretation of the play by Maurice Maeterlinck. This is an adventure for the senses! Rightly released on Adventurous Music.

Puisant son inspiration dans la pièce de Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949), Pelléas & Mélisande, Lauré Lussier construit autour de cette histoire d’amour impossible, une bande son étrange et envoûtante
"I was so excited when this came out. I love it!! The richness of voice and your beautiful sound are so evocative I get very happily lost in it. I played it on repeat at home for days when I first received it! Congratulations on another superb release".
Bruce
"It’s such a wonderful release, I wish I had time to be able to play it all, but I hope it inspires people to delve deeper into your music".

Trans(Dis)figured Waltzes
Lauré's third orchestral electroacoustic album from the German label Adventurous Music (Leipzig, Germany).
Three waltzes.
At first glance, they look simple.
As the music unfolds, they slowly reveal their true selves in their entire complexity.
Transfigured or Disfigured?
Strange Recital
Iconic Québécois poet Émile Nelligan (1879-1941) wrote the bulk of his work between 1893 and 1896.
During this period, he wrote a cycle of poems relating to music. This cycle has been referred to as « Strange Recitals ».
For his 4th album on the German label Adventurous Music (Leipzig, Germany), Lauré Lussier has chosen poems from this cycle which he has put to music, to create his own intimate
« Strange Recital ».
Strange Symphony
Lauré's 5th orchestral electroacoustic album from Adventurous Music (Leipzig, Germany).
"An illicit Symphony which should have never been created.... But it happened". L.
“1st Movement - Allegro Ma Non Troppo"
combines trills of synthetic horn and clumps of agitated birdsong with volleys of dissenting percussive rumble.
"Lauré Lussier surprend à chaque nouvelle sortie, composant des albums aux atmosphères imprévisibles, à l’image de Strange Symphony, plongée dans l’univers d’un orchestre symphonique amoureux de tensions électrocutées et de mélodies attachées avec force, dans notre contemporanéité.
Les couches se superposent et défient toute forme de logique, donnant naissance à un amalgame élastique, où guitares électriques, synthétiseurs eighties et arrangements milléniaux flirtent avec un classicisme expérimental que n’aurait pas renié un Frank Zappa.
