“For the album intro, Aquarius, I immersed myself in the music of Eric Serra composed for the cult French movie ” the Big blue ” in the late 80s. There are also some Laidback tracks reminiscent of California sounds.
Finally, for “movie soundtrack” tracks, I drew my inspiration from Asian percussion instruments.
” Day of Wrath” is an Opéra-Rock-Electronic track which have been recently presented by André Manoukian, a French jazz pianist who uses to be music jury in the famous French music TV show “
“Regarding the cover, the graphic inspiration comes from the psychedelic, illusionist and abstract works of the 80s by the famous painter Victor Vasarely, a French artist of Hungarian origin who marked his era in Op Art. To get as close to the funky sounds of 1980, I collaborated first with two Brazilian musicians, electric guitarist Junior Souza and bass guitarist Rubens Filho, to get a specific funky signature. At the same time, I used electronic drums, vintage synthesizer emulations and the vocoder to keep an electro backbone to this album. I practiced crate digging for final arrangements, added composition with orchestral synthetic sounds.
To sum up, a rich and interesting multicultural music experience, for an album which is made of shadow and light.”
