After his first EP Un autre monde and his first album Départ, well acclaimed by his international public, Vivian Roost released his second album The Seasons the 21 of march 2019, beginning of the spring season.

Inspired by haikus written by japanese poet as Bashō, Issa,  The Seasons's project is a tour de force by which the composer manages to give the poem an open sense by using a plurality of piano. Each season has been recorded on four one-hundred-year-old pianos, tuned in four specific frequencies in order to simulate the transition of each season. 

 

2020, despite of the covid situation, is a very creative year and marks his first collaboration with the prestigious classical label Deutsche Grammophon for the PROJET XII. During the lockdown in April, Vivian worked on the trilogy of the Gymnopedies Rework from the french pianist composer Erik Satie. Gymnopedie n2 - Vivian Roost Rework has been released on the Project XII in digital and in vinyl album. Released on the official youtube channel of DG, the official video clip was shot in France at the Suzac's beach (Meschers-sur-Gironde), the forest  of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and in Pantin and won more than 5 awards and 12 selections on international film festivals.
