PLAYLIST 2007:

Next week I will put this music on the blog just as a new online experience.
By clicking on the paypal link you will abble to get 20 minutes Soundtracks without any DRM . AAC or MP3 format plus pictures and comments about the film will be include in the ZIP files ... When you download it thru a Downloading center adress and a code that you will receive by email... antas is finishing the process... The price will be 4 € the Full folder....

Why I am doing this ??? :
- A lot of record label wants to get your full music catalog, but only for a online sale; no more CD's.

Then with the WORLD.COM PROJECT I can combine the idea with this concept.
I will put every months a new ZIP files during one Year...
we call it : "WORLD.COM Voyages " ( 12 X 20 mn of world and ethnic musics ) .
and can be only download thru the center .
July 2008 : 240 minutes of musics more than 4 hours for 48 € will be produced.

If you have any remarks , let me know we certainly gain a lot by associating new ideas and concepts ... More news soon

Hi Everyone

After 6 mounths of silence I am back on the blog. What I did ???
Let's rewind a little bit...
Firstly , in 2005 I was contacted by Laurent Boutonnat to supervise the Soundtrack of his new movie "Jacquou le Croquant" After few mounths delay; we start working on July until December ; It was a very pleasant, and a difficult work at the same time.....Laurent had a so much overload schedule....
We only works few hours on the music score per week; normally I love to be immerge completly in the movie when I am working on the music, but in this case it was not possible .... Anyway new "Experiences" are always good learnings. Finally at the end of august I Introduced Nic Raine to Laurent for the Orchestration and the Orchestra direction...
L.B was very pleasant during orchestration process, his compositions was really nice..... and I see him really enjoying the sessions in Prague as a breath of Music in the meeddle of the full works to archieve this kind of film... He is a worker-maniac.... Plus a real perfectionist....

Musicians:
Fortuna:Voices and Pépé on Spanish Guitars and Booms

In december I meet the "EL GRECO" Director "Iannis Zvaratzis ". A new movie around the "El Greco" painter life and his humans relationship with Tissian. The movie is co-produce by Spain and Greece. Vangelis should sign the Soundtracks.
I went to the shooting set at Marcopoulo (40 Km from Athens) . Really nice set and amazing "El Greco" painting reproduction. Should be release October 2007. Nice Project.......
I will let you know the future of "WORLD.COM"during the next weeks; Some contacts with musicians, producers start to increase the contents of the project....

After nearly 20 years at ODEON, I decide to move for a new place in Paris .
I loved this area very much, I made nearly 10 albums inspired by the beauty and the artistic inspiration of the 6th, but it is now became too much touristic and artificial crowdy area, then I am leaving with tones of memories and souvenirs...with no regrets....
A french Movie as musical superviseur is going to  scheduled my summer.
But I am going to continue working on "World.com"as producer during the next 3 mounths.
Roberto Briot is going to record all Basses and some guitars are going to be done by Jean Michel Khajdan and I should also record some Jean Philippe Rykiel's Keyboards in is new studio during summer .... Have nice summer and enjoy it....

A new extract from "WORLD.COM" album.... Music inspired by the lord Byron writings

Extract from: DARKNESS writen in 1816

I had a dream, which was not all a dream. The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space, Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air; Morn came and went--and came,
and brought no day, And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this their desolation; and all hearts ,Were chill'd into a selfish prayer for light:
And they did live by watchfires--and the thrones, The palaces of crowned kings--the huts,
The habitations of all things which dwell, Were burnt for beacons; cities were consum'd,
And men were gather'd round their blazing homes To look once more into each other's face;
Happy were those who dwelt within the eye Of the volcanos, and their mountain-torch:
A fearful hope was all the world contain'd; Forests were set on fire--but hour by hour
They fell and faded--and the crackling trunks Extinguish'd with a crash--and all was black.
