This week, we step outside the usual sonic rush with “Clair-Obscur“, a singular album by David Mulero that feels timeless and human. A self-taught French composer, Mulero has travelled through electronic music, jazz, and film scoring before settling into a more classical form of expression—one shaped by piano, emotion, and restraint.
Across nine instrumental pieces, from Amour et Psyché to Valse Nocturne, the piano becomes a voice of its own. His neo-classical writing is cinematic yet intimate, suspended between melancholy and hope. Each note feels intentional, delicate, carrying silence as much as sound. Without a single word, Mulero reveals his inner world: doubts, dreams, quiet resilience.
Released in 2015, “Clair-Obscur” explores contrasts—shadow and light, fragility and strength—offering listeners a rare moment of reflection.
It’ sounds like a breath, an invitation to slow down and truly listen, press play:
