bio

Pierre Flasse is an innovative artist dedicated to channeling vulnerability and intuition through his music. The music is deeply contemplative, blending beautiful sonic landscapes with smooth riffs and soaring melodies, resulting in a bold and genuine sound. Inspired by the music of Dhafer Youssef, Philip Glass and Daniel Herskedal, Flasse’s sound sits in a world between cinematic music, spiritual jazz and folk. His music resonates deeply with listeners, transcending genres and inviting audiences towards deep listening and to explore the internal connections we create with sound. 

 

Flasse’s creative process is a fluid, organic journey of discovery - eschewing rigid structures, he allows the music to flow naturally, weaving together melodies and rhythms with an instinctual grace that captivates and inspires. His shows entice audiences across the UK, drawing from the unique intimacy and vulnerability he brings to performance.

​

Flasse’s six-piece band brings folk instruments and contemporary effects into a jazz setting, featuring Andrew Barney (Ni Maxine) on keys, Maria Rocha (Moby Dickless) on electric and acoustic guitar, Daniel Springate (Ben Cipolla) on bass guitar and cello, Will Shaw on drums (Life Aquatic Band, balo, Assembly Trio), and Tom Drew on clarinet and tenor sax. He sold out at Band On The Wall's (Manchester, 2024) and Jazz At The Lescar (Sheffield, 2024) and and his singles have been played by Jazz FM (Sarah Ward, Ruth Fisher), 1BTN, Reform Radio, and playlisted several times by Amazing Radio.

Gratitude (Radio Edit)  08/12/2024   

Gratitude (Radio Edit) marks the next chapter for trombonist and composer Pierre Flasse, following his debut EP True. This new collection delves into themes of truth and vulnerability, inviting listeners to connect with these concepts and how they define them. 

 

Gratitude was written during a difficult period in Flasse’s life. After being in a low place for months, he turned to music as a means of healing and escape. This creative process proved transformative, helping him to emerge stronger and more centered. This resulting song serves as an ode to the small acts that we can do - individual and specific to each person - that are the foundations for our growth. The radio edit delivers a spiritual, powerful mood, immersing listeners in Flasse’s meditative soundscape.

 

In a world yearning for intimacy, authenticity, and connection, Flasse’s music embodies these values, drawing significant acclaim following his debut EP True, and with two sold out shows in 2024 (Band On The Wall, Jazz at the Lescar). His music transcends genres and creates a space for reflection through a contemplative, bold and genuine sound.

True (EP)  11//08/2024   

True is the debut EP release from trombonist and composer Pierre Flasse. The album is a collection of songs exploring truth and vulnerability, and provides a space for audiences to connect with these ideals and what it means to them. The record weaves between sparkling folk-like textures in Feather and Strange Luck, to intimate and meditative cinematic soundscapes of Gratitude and No Rest For Whoever’s Left - the music is deeply contemplative, blending beautiful sonic landscapes with smooth riffs and soaring melodies.​

​​

People in our world are craving a space for intimacy, authenticity and connection. Flasse’s musical identity at the heart of these values has brought a breathtaking response, with a fantastic reaction to his previous singles Elegy and Elegy (Part 2), and with two sold out shows in early 2024 (Band On The Wall, Jazz at the Lescar). The EP transcends genres and creates a space for reflection through a contemplative, bold and genuine sound.
