Dans ma main is the sophomore studio album from French-Canadian pianist and composer, Jean-Michel Blais, released on May 11, 2018 via Arts & Crafts. The album differs from the simple and down-to-earth production of his studio debut, Il, in that Blais explores more ethereal and electronic textures.

Concept and production

On the Dans ma main, Blais experiments with different synth and electronic textures, a concept introduced to him while working with CFCF on Cascades. He enjoyed the possibilities he could explore with the new technology, allowing to explore sounds and textures beyond his piano. Blais explains in a conversation with Red Bull Music Academy, "I never want to lose contact with the original piano instrument, but we have so many tools now to treat it differently than to just have the instrument on its own, so why not use them, and how? It certainly is opening. It gives me sounds and texture possibilities".[1]

Exclaim! wrote that, "Blais's Ableton Live explorations mark everything here, but for the most part, they're employed as a means of expanding on the piano's own abilities, further processing acoustic sounds to make them spin into focus".[2]

Blais continued his partnership with friend and producer Devon Bate (BUFFLO), while also bringing in Marc-André Mignault for "igloo" and the title track.

Critical reception

Exclaim! gave the album a 9/10 in an early review, writing "Far from spiralling inward, as always, Blais lets it all flow through him, and as private becomes public, the result is yet another intimate masterpiece".[2]CBC's Ariane Cipriani summarized the album, writing "Dans ma main is also an invitation to ask our [hand], in this frantic world that leaves little place to sigh. It is also a spiritual quest that does not take a linear path: each beach reveals a different palette of sounds, alternating between tension and relaxation".[3]

The album was a shortlisted finalist for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize.[4]

Track list

All tracks written by Jean-Michel Blais, except "god(s)" and "a heartbeat away" by Blais and BUFFLO.[5]
