"Nocturne Impalpable" represents a world of minimalism, abstraction and a contemporary approach to classical music. Sylvain Chauveau’s piano variations have often been likened to the creations of composers such as Harold Budd and Claude Debussy. At the same time, his multi-talent is evident when he combines with distinctive ease, the electronic elements, noise and ambient levels with monumental strings and piano preludes. The composer of the micro symphonies on the "Nocturne Impalpable" album is Sylvain himself, the only exception being the "Arachnéenne Encore" piece, composed by the pianist Olivier Lageyre. "Nocturne Impalpable" fully reveals Sylvain's compositional versatility. Other contributors to the recording of the album, in addition to Sylvain and Olivier, include Olivier Cavaillé (cello), Benoît Génot (viola), Eugen Fabris (cello), Vincent Pouplard (accordion), Matthias Meier (clarinet) and Xavier Carriere (trumpet). The experienced audio engineers, Joan Cambon and Frédéric Luneau, oversaw the recording and the final mix.
