About This Song
About "Gaspard de la nuit, M. 55: II. Le Gibet - Très lent" by André Laplante
Laplante conjures a gallows in twilight, the repeated note a tolling bell. 'Le Gibet' is suspended dread, the piano's sparse texture a cold wind over a corpse, calm and horror locked in a hypnotic, unbearable embrace.
