Listen to one of our works.

All the following recordings are music creations by Sylvain Lacroix and performed by Cordaphone.

Title 1 : Dragonfly

Title 2 : les 4 reels à normand

Title 3 : March of king laoish

Recorded in december 2008 at Mute City studio.

Special thanks for technical support and more to Sylvain April.

A culmination of musical research, by Sylvain Lacroix, Couleurs de Son is a showcase of the Appalachian* dulcimer from its origins to modern times.

This modal instrument gives the sounds of simple harmonies found in the musical universe. Drawing from Celtic sources, Irish folklore, and French Medieval., interlaced with specially adapted compositions as well as contemporary creations..

Couleurs de Son offers the listener a rich and colorful musical experience. It is a communion of harmonies.

Unforgettable Meeting Summer 2008!

For one day, the Atlantic Ocean disappeared and allowed these two friends to gather and share their passion

for the mountain dulcimer on last July 9th. Cristian Huet from Brittany (France) and Sylvain Lacroix from Québec did a performance on stage,

in Notre-Dame-du-Lac in Témiscouata, in the heart of Quebec Appalachian Mountains.
