About

The artist

Luminescent is an instrumental duo formed in Montréal in 2015 by harpist Coralie Gauthier and handpan player Pierre-Olivier Bolduc. The artist controlled bilingual biography describes music shaped by minimalism and modal jazz alongside echoes of Indian raga and Indonesian gamelan, with kalimba, euphone, tongue drums, and rav vast expanding the central harp and handpan palette. The duo remains based in Montréal: its current official site documents 2025 performances in Quebec and a 2026 Prix Opus finalist placement for the concert Lumineuses Abysses. The exact Spotify identity exposes six album and single containers, but one 2015 trance collaboration titled Wave of Life belongs to a different artist using the same name and is excluded after reconciliation with Luminescent's official discography. The retained provider scoped catalog contains five releases: two albums and three singles from December 2017 through November 2023. Representative releases include Nuages, Pluie, Asymétrique, Eau vive, and Abysses. Artist controlled release credits name Gauthier and Bolduc as the composers and performers, with Saulo Olmedo Evans and Arya Deva Suryanegara appearing as guests on Abysses. Recording, mixing, and mastering are credited to other people, so the profile remains in the artist category and does not claim a production or engineering role. Professional inquiries route through the official contact page without republishing a direct email address. The exact bilingual payload was reviewed for identity, Montréal residency, activity, catalog exclusion, members, performance credits, contact safety, media treatment, and translation quality.
