Experimental Classical project Flore Laurentienne brings new elements to their sound while teasing works to come with “(À travers les) Chablis.” This serves as the third single ahead of Volume III, the artist’s new album out April 10th via Secret City Records. Previous singles include “Régate” and “Fleuve VII”. The three album cycle is inspired by the artist’s experiences of his native St. Lawrence river in Quebec.

Flore Laurentienne’s Mathieu David Gagnon says of the new track: “From chaos comes harmony”. The album’s closer,“(À travers les) Chablis” helps conclude the Volume series, while teasing future works by Flore Laurentienne.

The message on this third album by Flore Laurentienne, is “light”.

It is described as:

…the seed in the ground that becomes a plant and then a flower, blooming at its peak and then inevitably wilting so that the cycle can begin again. It is the quest for beauty in chaos, from which harmony is born.

On Volume III, Mathieu David Gagnon and his Flore Laurentienne return “to celebrate the magnificence of the river and its floral and sylvan surroundings.”

This new milestone also marks the end of a trilogy that began in 2019 with Volume I. Volume III is an album to be enjoyed alongside its two predecessors, while also looking forward to the next step.
