HELIOTROPE
Byzantium is Heliotrope’s first planned album, to be released in the new year. It will feature a series of entirely acoustic compositions and improvisations by Houle and Grdina.
FRANÇOIS HOULE • BASSET CLARINET
““a spectacularly versatile clarinetist
who appears to have no limitations
stylistically or sonically””
GORDON GRDINA • ACOUSTIC GUITAR / OUD
““Gord doesn’t play the guitar like
anybody else I’ve ever seen. The
instrument becomes an extension of
his frantic mind, embracing both the
chaos and the deep kindness he
exudes as an individual.”
”
Long time collaborators François Houle and Gordon Grdina bring together a mesmerizing range of musical experience that transcend boundaries and styles. The two virtuosos tap seamlessly into world traditions, avant-jazz, western classical music and free improvisation to weave together a dynamic and highly original musical tapestry.
