“Synthetic soundscape post-covid potential EMD Dance music. In a total confinement, wandering in Paris empty streets, breathing the local energy of people occupied to survive to the lock-down, emerged the idea of a very energetic and lively electronic composition. Here and there, some emerging signals, annunciating the return to life one day, like triumphant signs of hope.

Alive and Up

Verlorene Zeiten is about lost time, as time passed away, times dissipated, not so much because it has been procrastinated. Meanwhile, the time track backbone is vivid and constant, persistent, above life, aiming to go further, past the usual humane lifespan. Vivid Berlin synthetic track where a persistent bass loop supports an ethereal and evolving soundscape.

Green Earth Revival

From past to future. Now the past.  As the first part of a larger piece, Time Run I briefly explores some time contrasts, running through time, from past times to our present and future, the transition between electronic and fully digital age. The experimental track also evokes the unavoidable time race of the musician against the digital world, soon the musical artificial intelligence, concluding in a major and positive tone. Past, about the analog music age, with a  marked reference to past synthetic music with typical vintage synth for the 80s, challenged with more recent digital synths. -Image courtesy of Steve Johnson- / pexels

Time Run I

ReBirth of Sound is an electronic composition idea, part of a larger musical project. It is a tribute to Miles Davies ‘« Birth of Cool », a major music piece which embodied the new spirit of cool, and launched a music stream who has been growing ever since. A progressive rock music reference is Pink Floyd piece “Echoes” on “The Dark Side of the Moon”, all the more a mythical Album. The piece sets an ambitious goal, that is to recreate, mark, and contribute to the emergence of a momentarily lost but fundamental and nurturing musical stream..

Exposed along a timeline of 3 movements, which refer to time spans (the past, the present, the future or the origins, the development, finally the maturity and perspective), each marked by synths sound bursts, three themes are intertwined in the composition : history of music, history of electronic music, and human evolution towards the digital and AI age. The composition idea has been confronted and elaborated with ChatGPT AI. Full synthetic works using vintage analog and digital synths emulations, starting with a natural resonance of a Tibetan singing bowl and ending on NASA recording of a Black Hole “Perseus” natural space sound.
With this more progressive and meditative piece, we truly hope our digital music will help the listener to travel far-away in past, present and future.

ReBirth Of Sound

The composition evokes an urban travel in the city of Berlin, which may also reference a spiritual travel from the outside to the inner inside knowledge, acquired in the dense and diversified city landscape. The vivid Berlin synthetic track is a tribute to the German electronic pioneer Klaus Schulze. The composition is in three part, designed as the evocation of  a near-mystical trip within Berlin, leading to the Potsdamer Platz, reaching the gracious and peaceful “Angel over Berlin” (“Der Engel über Berlin”), watching over the city, as seen in the Wim Wenders movie, “Wings of Desire”.

"American Lands" is a musical journey along, firstly the West Coast (in order, Zoo-pop Dream, Route Pacific, Mono Lake View, Sequoia Walk), then the East Coast (in order, New York DPM, Digit 0. I.
