Le Piano Sacré
...where did it originate ?
“During my life as a pianist on stage, I have always strived to get closer to the people who listen to me so as to feel their vibration better and improvise music that resonates perfectly with each of them. While doing house concerts I was struck by this realization: music is perceived differently by each listener.
So, I imagined playing for a single person with sound emission and reception being in a state of equilibrium. The idea was appealing but incomplete.
It was then that the notion of “the Sacred” came to life: the Sacred which is precious, intimate, powerful and intangible. Could the notes emitted from the instrument be perceived other than through hearing (and sight...)? What if I offered my guest to lie down on the piano so as to feel the vibrations of the instrument through their body?! That’s how Le Piano Sacré was born."

...the process
"Le Piano Sacré is a 2-hour meeting.
I will welcome you at my chalet in Saffré (44) in the heart of the Nantes countryside for some moments of conviviality and sharing.
Over tea or coffee, we will discuss your life-path and the expectations that you have in relation to the session of vibrational and musical treatment.
This is an important moment for me, because in it we will establish a foundation and a relationship of trust between us which will feed into the improvisation that will follow."

...what music do you play ?
“I will improvise on what I feel about your personality, your story, and the vibration coming out from our meeting.
To support my improvisation, I invented a deck of cards corresponding to the 24 major and minor keys.
I will invite you to draw 3 cards corresponding to yesterday (your past), today (the present moment) and tomorrow (your future): it is those 3 tones that I will be playing on.
I listen to my inner voice and let it guide me."

...why lie down on your piano ?
"I have tuned my Kawai to the La-432Hz frequency, which helps harmonize the two hemispheres of the brain thus enhancing creativity, lucidity, and full awareness.
Lying down allows you to feel the vibrations of the piano and be in a state of absolute relaxation, as if enveloped by the sound.
You let yourself be carried away by the music and the emotion and I let myself be guided by your reactions and your breathing.
You can even sing!"
The Sacred Piano
...what does it do ?
"The vibration of the instrument acts as an integral massage of the whole body simultaneously: all points of contact (head, shoulder blades, spine, tailbone, buttocks, calves, heels) are synchronized. This allows us to gradually disconnect our mind to dive into the heart of our sensations and our deep emotional sphere.
Following the moment of music which lasts about 40 minutes, we will allow ourselves a time to “land”, to share what we felt. Sometimes words are not enough, so we can draw, go for a walk or take the time to meditate as necessary to integrate this extraordinary experience. You will leave feeling liberated from an emotional burden and charged with good energies.
Since I began practicing The Sacred Piano, I’ve been feeling more in tune with myself and those who take the chance to receive music in this way."
