This was the first album. After a very long break far away from playing music, I decided to plug again my guitar, and to gather a set of ancient stuff with more recent compositions : mostly long pieces in progressive-rock style (Oceaniques, Migrations, Terrace of clouds, Solitude), together with recent works (No Joe, Seven Bells, Nighstreet and a personal arrangement of Lennie Tristano’s Lennie’s Pennies). There was also an experimental version of the famous Pink Floyd’s Astronomy Domine, with a woman voice and absolutely no drums.
The orchestration widely used sampled instruments instead of synths (thus, this album is entirely free of loops and remixes) : Oud, Udu, Koto, Khlui Flute, a Brass ensemble, Drums, and many synths. And also a real guitar or two :). But this album contained lots of imperfections in his production.
Many of these tracks have been re-orchestrated and integrated later, on other albums. Some of the remaining tracks will be released again (like Nightstreet or Solitude). Click on their titles to have a listen :
