After garnering success and over 60 million streams with his indie pop projects Fjord and Ghostly Kisses, Louis-Étienne Santais is now unveiling his solo piano compositions for the very first time ! If his work recalls the influence of composers such as Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Jean-Michel Blais and Alexandra Streliski, the composer and producer from Quebec City remains above all a self-taught pianist who skillfully and spon-taneously combines classical music with modern pop minimalism.

The title in itself is based on an imagery that reflects this idea in a simple manner; A beach, where tides fluctuate in a similar manner every day, and waves that come and go, crashing onto the sand/rocks in an almost perpetual motion.
