Montreal-based musician Jean-Michel Blais dropped the track called ulysse, the lead single from his upcoming fourth album mirador, due out September 25, 2026 via Arts & Crafts.
A sweeping and emotional modern classical tune, “ulysse” pulls listeners in with its cinematic piano arrangements and delicate atmosphere.
The piece feels both intimate and expansive, showcasing Jean-Michel Blais’ gift for creating deeply moving instrumental music that lingers long after the final note.
About the track by Jean-Michel:
“What strange place is this where time dissolves, suspended between sky and earth, between the real and the surreal, with no other bearing than the trace of sunlight slipping through a tiny window, slowly tracing its path along a cold white-brick wall,” says Blais.
“There is a crack, a crack in everything.
That’s how the light gets in. One knocks, one shouts, yet no one comes, save for this dense silence. Until, by chance, by wandering, a door opens from within. a fissure is enough. the desire for an else where still unknown, a will, a direction finally accepted. guilt fades, the troubled mind regains its order. light returns.
The sensation of stepping out of a wardrobe, a renewed coming out, and freedom appears, not as promise but as chosen risk, as adventure willingly embraced.”
