"Musique pour Herbes Folles"

Crossing France by bike with an acoustic piano on a trailer.

Björn Gottschall, pianist and composer, takes his piano beyond traditional concert halls, creating immersive performances in breathtaking outdoor settings—by the sea, in the mountains, and among forests. In each location, he seeks to connect his music with the natural environment, crafting a unique blend of sound, atmosphere, and mood, where audiences experience a deep harmony between music and nature.

In summer 2024, Björn embarks on an ambitious project: crossing France by bike, from Rennes to Marseille, with his piano. The goal is twofold: to share his musical world and to draw inspiration from the journey to create an album. Along the way, he meets locals, creating poetic moments in unexpected places.

Each concert becomes a unique sonic experience, shaped by the nuances of the location, the weather, and the emotions of the moment. This music blended harmoniously with the surrounding atmosphere.

“Music for Wild Herbs” unfolded as a modern musical adventure, rich in facets and an artistic exploration that transcended the traditional boundaries of musical performance.
