Corpus

Originally formed by Canadian bassist Donald Fleurent in 1993, Talisma now features guitarist Martin Vanier and drummer Mark Di Claudio. As a trio, each member of the band has the room to fully express themselves. Their personal chemistry, a deep mutual respect coupled with years of experience and musical maturity enables them to work together seamlessly and efficiently as a unit. Their 2003 release, Corpus (a completely instrumental album save for two tracks that offer scat style female vocals), takes the listener on a musical voyage that touches on almost every musical style imaginable - rock, jazz, Latin, classical - as well as various ethnic influences. While weaving through different time signatures and musical tapestries, Talisma creates groundbreaking new soundscapes that are at once structured, yet free.
