"A few years ago...

A man makes an emergency landing on the planet Mono. When he wakes up, his spacecraft's controls no longer work. Strangely, all the windows broke out. The small square mirror that he had been using for months to shave is also broken. The rest of the ship seems perfectly intact. He puts in a suitcase everything he needs and goes to discover the planet.

Mono is a strange colorful planet. After he lands, it looks like he wasn’t the first to get to it."

"Don’t…let him go back to the Tower" tells the story of a young woman who crosses, years after the events of the Panzer Dragoon series, some places haunted by the memory of past battles. 

This album tries to transcribe the memories that this series of games left me, the immensity of its universe, everything that was implicit, invisible on the screen, but still there. To carry out this project, I sampled three composers that I really like: Timmy Holiday, Inuyasha and Jeia.

Their way of working the pads, the atmospheres and the different instruments they use move me enormously. I invite you to visit their YouTube page and follow them. They are among the most productive and talented composers I know. My work is minimal and consists only of reintegrating theirs into another context. 

This project is free and will never be uploaded to streaming sites (except Soundcloud, cause it's free). Codes to include it in your bandcamp library will be provided regularly via my Instagram or Twitter. This album will never be chargeable and if you find it "for sale" on the internet, please let me know. 

Finally, this album is a real cry of love for Sega and this console that I loved so much from 95 to 98. It will always be the console we bought my father, my brother and me together.

All the art, the cover and the images illustrating each track, are created by me with the I.A. « Midjourney ».

Don't...let him go back to the Tower (パンツァードラグーン)

Shapes in the Sky

Ruins above water

A 1972 film, "Noua", directed by Abdelaziz Tolbi tells the story of a woman on the eve of November 1, 1954, when a wave of attacks took place throughout Algeria. This is the beginning of the uprising of Algerian nationalists, the beginning of the war and the first moments which will lead to independence.

North of the Sahara, a region is an actor and witness to this, the Aurès.

Adapted from "Aleph" by Jorge Luis Borges. 

- THE VINYL - 

qrates.com/projects/21835 

"Aleph" is the story of a woman plotting revenge, a monster stuck in a labyrinth, a deserter and a translator. "Aleph" is the story of an obsession, a dead man, a Byzantine general and the memory of Beatriz. 

All these stories are in these eight instrumentals tracks and in the city drawn by the artist pyramid.ink.
