• ‘Pictorial Music’ is an album of solo piano by French jazz pianist Guillaume de Chassy. It comprises two soundtrack compostions :

• Closing the album, a short piece for the movie “Gran Torino”, composed by Clint & Kyle Eastwood with Jamie Cullum - but before that, a much larger work in 8 ‘scenes’, composed by the pianist for the film “Shift”, directed by his good friend and artistic colleague, Antoine Carlier.

• In these pieces De Chassy states that : “ the border between written and improvised, premeditated and the instinctive, remains deliberately vague” and that : “Pictorial Music... has a poetic and surreal pleasure that emanates a mysterious power of evocation and dream”.

• The first three of these pieces are variations / improvisations on Beethoven, Mozart and Prokofiev, respectively.
