In the haunting depths of this classical composition, the ominous overture begins with a low, foreboding rumble, echoing the ancient corridors of Dracula's castle. The strings emerge with a mournful melody, weaving a sense of mystery and impending doom. As the piece progresses, the brass section introduces powerful and menacing motifs, resonating like the ominous footsteps of the immortal Count.

The composition explores the dark and brooding atmosphere of Dracula's realm, with the woodwinds whispering eerie tales and the percussion section punctuating the air with a sense of impending danger. The haunting choir adds a spectral dimension, their voices rising and falling like ghostly echoes through the centuries.

Throughout the piece, the tempo shifts, and the dynamics fluctuate, creating a sense of tension and release. The music builds to climactic moments, reflecting the intensity of encounters with the legendary vampire. Yet, even in moments of quietude, an underlying sense of unease persists, mirroring the perpetual shadow that follows Dracula.

The composition's final notes linger, leaving a chilling resonance that captures the essence of the immortal Count's dark and enigmatic presence. This classical masterpiece serves as a sonic journey into the heart of darkness, a musical narrative that pays homage to the eternal allure of Dracula and the macabre world he inhabits.

Auteur-compositeur de chansons françaises qui n'attendent que de bons interprètes. 
Après des études au conservatoire et musicologie à la Sorbonne, j'ai enseigné l'éducation musicale à des élèves en école élémentaire de 1982 à 2021.

Dès 1989, alors que je découvrais la MAO, j'ai commencé à faire des centaines d'arrangements de chansons pour enfants ou adultes dans tous les styles pour les faire chanter. Cette solide expérience m'a amené dans un premier temps à composer des chansons pour mes élèves. Puis, je me suis lancé dans un répertoire pour adultes. 132 chansons à ce jour !

Mon répertoire va de la danse traditionnelle française (La bourrée du maumarié), à l’EDM (La tête dans les étoiles) en passant par la musique classique (Double concerto pour violon, violoncelle et orchestre à cordes) et la chanson française, le gros du panier, avec le plus souvent cette pointe d’humour qui fait tant défaut aujourd’hui dans beaucoup de chansons, (ce qui est étonnant quand on voit autant d’humoristes fleurir aux six points de l’Hexagone…)

Même si certains apprécient ma façon de chanter, mes chansons sont faites pour de vrais interprètes qui aiment monter sur scène.

Né en 1961 à Paris.

Author-composer and performer... by default of French songs. 
After studying at the Conservatoire and musicology at the Sorbonne, I taught music education to elementary school pupils from 1982 to 2021.

As early as 1989, when I was just discovering computer-assisted music, I started making hundreds of arrangements of songs for children and adults in all styles, to get them to sing along. This solid experience initially led me to compose songs for my students. Then I started working on a repertoire for adults. 132 songs to date!

My repertoire ranges from traditional French dance (La bourrée du maumarié), to EDM (La tête dans les étoiles), classical music (Double concerto for violin, cello and string orchestra) and French chanson, the mainstay of my repertoire, most often with that touch of humor so lacking in so many songs these days (which is astonishing when you see so many humorists flourishing at the six points of the Hexagon...).

Even if some people like the way I sing, my songs are made for real performers who like to get up on stage.

Born in 1961 in Paris.

Origins, the third album by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara, is out now.

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS), a UK-based duo featuring Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy), emerged in London in early 2020. Their debut album, Full Spectrum, established their innovative fusion of poetry performance and heavy music, creating a unique form of expression that has become synonymous with TCOMAS.
TCOMAS's sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, released on July 1, 2022, explores the history of metal, paying tribute to various subgenres. Set against orchestral and cinematic landscapes, the songs also incorporate non-Western musical influences. The lyrics draw inspiration from contemporary and classical poetry, as well as Jungian psychology.

Saga of Eldrassil — The Legend of the Anahata Crystals, Chronicles of Hyperborean Age, and Antediluvian Tales

🌌 Prologue: Time Before Time

In the beginning, before Eldrassil existed, there was the antediluvian era — a forgotten time when mighty beings and titans shaped the foundations of the world. From this ancient past come the stories of the Antediluvian Tales, recounting creation, fall, and awakening of forces that would influence the future.

In this distant age, the first fragments of power were forged, later crystallizing into the five Anahata Crystals — powerful artifacts sustaining the cosmic balance.

Chapter 1: Antediluvian Tales Part 1 — The Forge of Eldrassil

The Titans of Chaos and the Primordial Gods wage battles that shape earth and sky. The first crystals are created, each imbued with essences of natural and cosmic forces.

The tales tell of the founding of the great city Valthorias and the first alliance between humans, elves, and dwarves to protect the newborn world.

Chapter 2: Antediluvian Tales Part 2 — The Fall of the Titans

A devastating war among Titans unleashes a cataclysm nearly destroying Eldrassil. Many crystals shatter and are hidden away to prevent their power from corruption.

The original Guardians are chosen to protect the remaining fragments, marking the dawn of a new era.

Chapter 3: Antediluvian Tales Part 3 — The Dream of the Guardians

The Guardians secretly watch as mortal races develop but foresee the coming of an ancient evil: the King of Dusk.

Ancient prophecies are revealed in long-lost manuscripts, making the search for the crystals inevitable.

Chapter 4: Chronicles of Hyperborean Age Part 1 — The Awakening of War

With darkness rising, the young prince Maedhros rises to protect the Crystal of Order. The Guardians begin to gather scattered forces to confront the King of Dusk.

Chapter 5: Chronicles of Hyperborean Age Part 2 — The Flame of Sacrifice

Battles ravage Eldrassil and the fall of the capital Valthorias marks a critical point. The heroes suffer devastating losses, yet their fighting spirit remains unbroken.

Chapter 6: Chronicles of Hyperborean Age Part 3 — The Resistance Reborn

The Guardians forge new alliances with forgotten ancient races, rediscover old magics, and prepare the offensive to reclaim Eldrassil.

Chapter 7: Chronicles of Hyperborean Age Part 4 — The Final Dawn

In the final battle under an ominous eclipse, the Guardians confront the King of Dusk. The fate of the world hangs in the balance, and only the united power of the five crystals can save it.

Epilogue: Echoes of Forgotten Past — The Ancestral Legacy

With peace restored, Eldrassil begins to heal. The antediluvian tales become legends, warning that the cycle of darkness and light is eternal, and new Guardians will always arise.
