Here's a preview of my new recreation of Jean Michel Jarre's classics: Equinoxe 4.
The track is still on progress.
The parts of this preview are all made with softsynths, softsamplers and fx plugins all through DSP card digital mixer; hardware synth sounds are under development for other parts of the song.

Here's the final version of my recreation of the timeless Oxygene 2 by Jean Michel Jarre.
Working on this unique vintage track giving attention to all the details needed to bring my cover as closest as possible to the original was a great challenge; I played almost all parts in real time from scratch to try getting that more organic feeling that Jean Michel Jarre himself was always after originally.
It's still all made with softsynths, softsamplers and fx plugins all through DSP card digital mixer; no hardware synth or external fx unit was involved for this project. 
Steinberg Cubase 4, Spectrasonics Omnisphere, Tone2 Saurus, Native Instruments Monark, Kontakt's libraries by Hollow Sun (Eminent) and Forgotten Keys (Minipops 7) were used for doing my sounds.

The final medley mix of my new album "Oxygene Flares": heavily influenced by his classic '70-'80s sound, this is my tribute to Jean Michel Jarre and his great works with which I grew up when I was a teen. 
During the 3 years of making this album every track was for me a mind voyage through time, through space, through sci-fi dreams and mysteries. 
11 Tracks - total play time is 66 mins. 
Released on 3rd of April 2016  on Bandcamp

Oxygene Flares - medleymix 2016

Mutiny Of The Bounty cover/remix of the original track by Vangelis should have been included on Norvegian tribute compilation "Masters Of Electronics" (a tribute cd to Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre) published by Hyperion Media.
Unfortunately that compilation has never seen the light, because for the producer received for the project not enough good tracks to put on.

FAIRY DAZZLES was the 5th official album by Andrea Priora, released originally in 2002, all the recordings were fully remastered in 2007. This album features a track with vocals by Andrea made with vocoder and the hit song "Goodbye My Fairy". 
A wonderful combination of infectious melodies, powerful rhythms, “mind voyaging” soundscapes. Sensations, emotions and dreams in form of nu ambient, electronica, soundtrack styles.

Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene 4 (cover by Andrea Priora)

Making electronic music since start of '90s (during the years of university studies), Andrea is a keyboard player from the italian big city of Milano, composer and producer of melodic and emotive "mind voyaging" soundscapes, covering various genres from Electronica, Chill Out, Ambient and New Age - Space Music to Trance and Hybrid Orchestral Soundtracks. 

With 10 released albums and 2 different new ones in process he has a lot to express. Not bound to a single style, Andrea isn’t typically mainstream, but very untrendy trying to build something deep musically that goes beyond the fashion of the moment.

His main influences can be found among big names of classic electronic music and film-games composers (for example Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Enigma, Mike Oldfield, Robert Miles, Ferry Corsten, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky, James Newton Howard, Joseph Trapanese, Inon Zur, Sam Hulick), merging orchestral sounds with the electronic and acoustic.

He is part of the UK label Earth Academy Records (E.A.R. ) publishing his albums under their catalog.
