Listen to one of our works.

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

Title 1 : Dragonfly

Title 2 : Branle de Mai

Title 3 : Printemps des cerisiers

Recorded in december 2008 at Mute City studio.

Special thanks for technical support and more to Sylvain April.

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

This modal instrument sounds the 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.
