Episode 200: 18200 Météores

 Jasmin Lacasse Roy is an accomplished musician who draws his inspiration from a wide range of sources: from Hendrix to Debussy. In addition to several other awards, he won first prizes at the International Fringe Music Competition of Hong Kong, the Montreal Guitar Grand Prix, and the Canadian Music Competition. His style plays with the limits of expectation, reimagining the repertoire in new and surprising ways. As a composer and performer, Jasmin's work features touches of Glass and Rachmaninoff, and his celebration of the classical canon with his sense of commitment to the contemporary only adds to his sense of freedom on stage. His eclectic mix of vintage aesthetics and modern flavors do away with old Edwardian sentiments in favor of imaginative contrasts that evoke a vibrant cosmopolitan scene. His musical aesthetic is a sumptuous combination of ease and activity that invites both attentive listening and immersed contemplation.
