[alternate master - less aggressive]

Following up on the electroprog suite Magnetic Feel (2022), the parisian composer/bassist presents an incredibly short tune, featuring the return of his beloved Fender bass.

The Book of Gates is about RA sailing the Underworld, at night. This is a short version - only one of twelve hours is represented. The full 15mn version shall be released as "Le Livre des Portes" later this year. The cover depicts ATUM (the primordial Egyptian god - who created himself).

As an appetizer for the next full-length album, The Book of Gates mixes 80s polysynths, jittery rhythms and jazzy harmonies. A quasi-60s organ and a overdriven bass chase each other through a labyrinthine Canterburian counterpoint - all under the watchful eye of ATUM, RA and their merry friends and relatives.
