CrossBreed - Changing Times (LIVE LOOP SESSION)

I'm working on a film soundtrack these days. It's a 6 minute scene and the film director liked this tune (originally Confiture de Hang's Ananas). It's been rejuvenated a bit and I am hoping to record it in studio shortly. What do you think?

Ananas Sound Track (Draft)

This track is part of a movie soundtrack for an independent film, HYPNODREAM, coming out in theaters in early 2015.

It was a really fun project recorded at The Audio Suite in Phoenix by Stephen Harrison. Thanks so much, Steve!

Carousel (Feat. Jill Paslier)

Equinox

I retrieved this old file the other day. It was a multi-layered jam recorded quickly on garageband when I first got my Saraz.

I found an old recording of a rehearsal at my place in France back in 2010 with Hang (handpan), Saxophone and Cajon.... It was fun!!

Chaotian Idea

"lost & found" is a new home-recorded piece on three handpans. Although it is still evolving, this recording captures an ambiance I have been working on for some time: It starts disoriented, frantically searching for something... Then, it slows down and enters a phase of recovery and discovery. At last, it finds what it's looking for and ends in a peaceful way—almost fairy-tale-like. Please enjoy this short musical journey! p.s. Thank you to all those who suggested a name for this piece (Ray, Farnaz, JT, etc...), and to Josefin whose title "lost & found" I ended up adopting.

lost & found (3-handpan piece)

This percussive, cinematic and jazzy piece was composed and named as an hommage to my favorite musical find of 2016: Hidden Orchestra, a project by Joe Acheson in the UK recreating an imaginary orchestra with dark musical textures, layers of drums, bass and field recordings. 

In "Unseen Ensemble", the handpan kicks off with a steady beat. Then, come the quiet and sustain strings and the subtle sansula (african piano revisited) melody adding tension with unlikely half-steps. Guitar arpeggio starts. The piano matches the sansula at higher octaves. Upright bass arrives with drums increasing in intensity. With the snare comes the groove, followed by louder instrumentation and more complex drum fills. The end reflects the beginning with the return of the sansula melody and its piano echoes with quieter drums.
