Album Description
Released in April 2016, Ascent is Steve Bilodeau's second album. The album consists of duo improvisations featuring Benjamin Von Gutzeit on viola and Bilodeau himself on the guitar and electronics. Recorded in August 2015, Ascent draws much of its inspiration from the location in which it was recorded - the Rocky Mountains of Banff, Alberta. Its ambient textures and free improvisations aim to recreate the experience of being immersed in a wilderness like the Rocky Mountains, from the sight of open skies to the navigation of rocky terrains. In Ascent, Bilodeau puts some of his most creative guitar playing on display.
