BIOGRAPHY
Formed in the fall of 2016, Pulsart Trio is a Space Jazz ensemble composed of Olivier Madore-Millette (Organ and other keyboards), Jérémie Carrier (Vibraphone and percussion) and Simon Beauséjour Boudreault (Drums and percussion). An unusual mix of instruments, the group shares a common artistic outlook where music is synonymous with freedom, sharing and mutual listening.
In 2017, the group recorded and released Prologue, their first EP funded by Premiere Ovation and the Ampli de Québec. The band quickly gained notoriety on the Quebec City music scene, playing regularly in the city's bars and restaurants.
In the fall of 2018, the group became one of the few jazz bands selected to be part of the Volet Pro at the Ampli de Québec. Through this mentorship program, the trio worked on the professionalization of the group and its image. The grant accompanying this distinction was used to produce their first full-length album: Élévation.
In the fall of 2019, Pulsart Trio launched Élévation, a conceptual instrumental album paying tribute to 50 years of space exploration. Composed solely of original works, Élévation is comprised of 9 pieces symbolizing the beginning of a long intergalactic journey. From the
launch (Turbulence) to the outskirts of Jupiter, where the planets go from solid to gas (Phase Shift). Thanks to the originality of its compositions, the quality of its musical execution, as well as its ability to "elevate" its audience, the album received critical acclaim, and was named one of the 50 best albums of 2019 by Ici Musique. It was also nominated for Jazz Album of the Year at GAMIQ.
