Info zu Oscillations

Oscillations. Conceived for a series of concerts, this album was recorded in a single élan. It includes twenty pieces, united by a precise and deliberate order, the result of distinctive experiments by pianist Silas Bassa. In constant artistic progression, Bassa proposes to open new doors for the role of the performer, by developing a personal musical path via creative programme building.

Oscillations: between vibrations and silence, between gentleness and anger, between trance and dance, between oneself and the other...to become but one.

Silas Bassa
Born in Argentina, Silas began his piano studies at the early age of five and entered at the Santa Fe Consevatoire. Later he moved to Buenos Aires for attending the National Conservatory and to study with renowned Maestro Aldo Antonganzzi. After receiving First Prize from the Buenos Aires Conservatory he was selected for a master class given in Buenos Aires by Maestro Bruno Leonardo Gelber. This performance offered him a scholarship to follow his studies with M. Gelber in Monaco, France. A year later he was invited to participated at the first Martha Argerich Festival in Buenos Aires, making his debut performance at the Teatro Colon of Buenos Aires.

In 2002 Silas travelled to Paris and met the well known pianist and pedagogue Monique Deschaussées who encouraged him to study with her and to stay in Paris. He then enriched his piano skills and repertory by following a suite of advance degrees at a regional conservatory in Paris.

Throughout his career, he performed numerous solo and chamber music concerts at important theatres and halls of South America, Europe and Asia. In addition to the traditional classical music performances and to his brilliant interpretations of the core piano repertoire, Silas works also on his own music as a composer.

In constant artistic progression, Bassa proposes to open new doors for the role of the performer, by developing a personal musical path via creative programme building. He created several artistic projects working in association with different directors, film makers, actors and choreographers.
