I may be unmodest, but i think this album is simply one of my most ambitious... and my best...
This « Untold Adventures « is a full sountrack orchestral one, more than one hour cinematic « music without film « sounds, with inspired choirs, powerful brass sounds, crispy drums, enraged or smooth violins, deep synths.
For the record, i mainly used my synths with Refx Nexus 2 vst sounds, a very useful and powerful tool for music making, as far as i got 7 extra extensions for it. Also thanks to the Choir and Harmony of the MDPA and her choirmaster Marie Hélène WOZNIAK, not to forget Thierry SCHUTZGER, the musical Director who authorized the whole stuff and made the vocal arrangments and partitions.
This album reflects the fact i'm fond of ambitious movies, great landcapes, great cities, great stories or legends, either in historical / antiquity stories with a bit of fantastic, where gods and legendary creatures live with men, or in Scifi sagas. Star Wars, Troy, Stargate, Gladiator, John Carter and so on, are for me pure delight, watching them on my flat TV with the Harman Kardon wifi sound bar and bass system on. Yum, yum....
So it's a kinda egoist job i did, a kinda auto erotism as i did musics for movies i imagine, and now it's your turn to ride the legendary horses....
Either hero, barbarian, alien or simply yourself, let's enter inside my home cinema !!
Au risque de paraître immodeste, je pense que cet album est tout simplement l'un de mes plus ambitieux, et l'un des meilleurs....
Ce « Untold Adventures « est complètement consacré aux sons orchestraux et cinématiques, à raison de plus d'une heure de musiques, avec des choeurs inspirés, des cuivres surpuissants, des tambours prenants, des violons à la fois doux et énergiques, des synthés profonds.
Pour info, j'ai surtout utilisé , avec mes claviers, le synthé virtuel Refx Nexus 2, un vst impressionnant d'autant plus que j'en utlise 7 extensions supplémentaires, une mine inépuisable d'inspiration. Merci aussi, pour la partie chorale, à l'Orchestre/ Harmonie/ Chorale des MDPA et leur chef de choeur Marie Hélène WOZNIAK, sans oublier le directeur musical Thierry SCHUTZGER qui a permis cela et qui a créé les partitions chorales et arrangements pour les chanteurs.
Cet abum montre combien j'apprécie les grands films et les grandes aventures, les grandes cités de légende, les paysages de folie, que ce soit dans des récits historiques/ légendaires des temps passés avec un peu de fantastique, des époques où dieux, hommes et créatures se cotoyaient, mais ausis les sagas de la SF. Star Wars, Troie, Stargate, Gladiator, John Carter et tant d'autres sont mon péché mignon, que je mate avec délices sur mon écran plat avec la barre de son wifi et le caisson Harman Kardon. Miam, miam....
Finalement, c'est une œuvre égoiste que j'ai faite pour me créer mes musiques pour des films à imaginer, non ? Mais maintenant, c'est à vous de chevaucher les chevaux de légende.... Soyez un héros, un barbare, un extra terrestre, ou tout simplement vous mêmes, entrez dans mon home shows cinema !!

5 Hurray to Eric
Tribute to Eric Woolfson, deceased in 2009, co founder, singer and componist of the Alan Parsons Project. The APP is for me a major influence for my orchestral work, and as Alan Parsons did since 1999 much less music than before, and more electronic ones ( some being very good, as Return to Tugunska ) , i decided to create my own APP music... i'm proud to say , as far as numerous feedbacks on Soundcloud and Fandalism came all over the world about it, that i succeeded in a way...
