He explains the piano has, \u2018provided the longest, steadiest and healthiest relationship of my life.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
He goes on to say, <\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\u2018I try to make each song sound like a story or a film. It means the song is more than my experience; it\u2019s malleable enough to move someone into their own imaginative space.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Little Nights is a collection of Bouchard\u2019s most inner thoughts, which will both captivate you and open your mind to the powerful imagery music can create. The album includes, \u2018Hard to Know\u2019, \u2018I Will Not Go to Paris\u2019, and \u2018Guess I\u2019ll Never Know Why\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The cinematic writer is one of 5 children and says,<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\u2018I was the only musical one. We didn\u2019t have music in our house. The piano was a decoration more or less until I began taking it seriously.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Tristan\u2019s passion for music really came through when he was a child as he would, \u2018play the Kit-Kat theme song, and would drive everyone nuts when it stopped being cute.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
He continues to make music in Boston and is working on building up his fan base, with frequent concerts and appearances in America.<\/span><\/p>\n
