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.... 05_Conquistador.mp3 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.

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. links: http://engphil.astate.edu/gallery/byron3.html http://frederick-rousseau.viabloga.com/news/lord-byron-musical-inspiration 2006-05-25T14:30:02Z 2006-05-29T15:54:28Z Sensual_world.mp3

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.
