RENAISSANCE
Out of the Silence
This is the third version of this title. I originally composed Out of the Silence at the request of Jean-Luc Briançon (Kurtz Mindfield) who wanted us to collaborate.
The original title available on my Bandcamp page has been reorganized, rearranged. With a duration of 9:09 this one has now passed to 21:53. The Moog Modular sequences at the appointment, delivering a structure that will be followed by percussion. The finale is totally new, with a sequential line bathed in an aerial and immersive atmosphere.

2. Ici et Maintenant 25:38
Ici et Maintenant
À travers ce titre, il était important pour moi de partager le moment présent avec les auditeurs,
avec ma famille, avec moi-même.
Les sonorités des années glorieuses de l'ère analogique mise au goût du jour avec la technologie d'aujourd'hui,
ici et maintenant.
Valentin's Traum
Diese Komposition ist meinem jüngsten Sohn Valentin gewidmet, bei dem Autismus diagnostiziert wurde. Es ist ein Geschenk für ihn, meine Botschaft der Hoffnung und Liebe für ihn. Dieser Titel ist in deutscher Sprache, dank der germanischen Öffentlichkeit, die mir ihr Vertrauen und ihre Unterstützung geschenkt hat. Es ist für mich ein Privileg, im Lehen der Berliner Schule auftreten zu dürfen, im Land von Klaus Schulze und Edgar Froese geschätzt und gehört zu werden.

Explore the Sound Universe
This new album is a continuation
of my musical vision:
an extension of the Berlin School movement
The next opus will finally see the light of day in 2018, more precisely on May 17:
a small wink to my wife. I would like to thank my wife for all her attention, support and investment in this new project.
The title RENAISSANCE, the idea of the visual, is the fruit of our communication.
It is a new experience for our musical adventure that has just started.
The nuances of the sound palette give life to
this new musical landscape
The overall structure is supported by sequences, orchestral layers (choruses and strings). The rhythmic sections will punctually bring a rock side to the ensemble.
The atmosphere is floating, mystical with a hint of the ambient. The loops and pads are constantly evolving in this aural framework.
No major solo line has really been included, to allow the listener to fully enjoy all the subtleties throughout the sonic evolution.
It remains important for me to leave the listener a place of choice for personal interpretation, for his own immersion.
RENAISSANCE:
in the purest tradition of the analogue era
All the instruments used in this opus, though virtual, have been carefully selected to obtain a warm and ample grain in the purest tradition of the analogue era.
As for ETHEREAL, I wanted for RENAISSANCE a sound similar to what was done in the mid-1970s. Emulations of band echoes and spring reverberation are added to analog VSTs to obtain a rich harmonic combination.
This is how the Moog Modular, Minimoog, Jupiter8 with their characteristic timbres will give this analog grain all its beauty and richness.
