Chris AUDREN<br />

Chris AUDREN is a songwriter-composer-musician who realised "Opus One", his first solo album, in 1995. The singer-guitar player produced a melodic rock (In<br />

English) with beautiful instrumental parts, close to GRENDEL or GTR. "Gwen Menez" (2002) operates a total stylistic change, now playing a new-age music with<br />

great celtic influences. This was originally written for the "Carabosse" show. Faithful to his multi-instrumentist spirit, much more keyboards-oriented this time, Chris<br />

AUDREN cares one more time about all the conception stages. Like Patrick BROGUIERE, or even VITAL DUO, our man aims at charming our ears with his brand<br />

new melting of medieval and current sounds. Add a little bit of Progressive rock to the whole, to obtain a tasty musical concept. Don't wait much more to discover this<br />

AWEN<br />

Shadows is an intriguing and bewitching album, right in the line of good ol' Seventies Berlin School. Those musical frames will transport you through musical<br />

landscapes and surreals sounds. AWEN then changed his name into AWENSON for his next works.<br />

AWENSON<br />

AWENSON, alias Joël BERNARD, offers to relive the spirit of the innovative creations stemming from the electronic musics in the Seventies. This French keyboards<br />

player was particularly influenced by Germany and the Berlin School. Hence it is no wonder if his second album "Wizard" (His debut was self-produced under the<br />

name of AWEN) reminds so much of the atmospheres created by TANGERINE DREAM or Klaus SCHULZE. It wouldn't be right to only see imitation there, and<br />

disregard the impact that the artist got from another one in the genre, namely Jean-Michel JARRE. AWENSON draws a really personal music from all this, and it<br />

should delight the connoisseurs. Released in 2010 on the Dreaming label, "Wizard" includes two long instrumental pieces with evocative titles, one of 41 minutes and<br />

the other clocking half an hour: "Psychedelic Dream" and "Hypnotic Ways". To be discovered !<br />

Andreas BAADEN<br />

Andreas BAADEN is playing ambient and electronic music since the early Eighties. "Slow Down" is the title-track of his fourth album, recorded in the year 2010 and<br />

published by the Dreaming label. Like some other tracks on this album, the electronic instrumental here is a different version of a song sung by Selina BUCCELLA<br />

from Andreas BAADEN's rock band, BASEMENT TWO, located in Bonn, Germany. "Slow Down" is about a better, healthier and more sustainable life, respecting<br />

each other and discovering the real essence of life: now it's time to change and listen ! Driving beats and choral landscapes are the main elements of the twelve<br />

electronic journeys on the album. Most of the songs were recorded during rehearsals and improvisations in Andreas BAADEN' small home-studio in the village of<br />

Aegidienberg, Germany. They are inspired by the beautiful landscape of the Siebengebirge. But the music also drifts into eternity: The last two tracks simply take us<br />

into space ! If you like TANGERINE DREAM, Jean-Michel JARRE, Michael ROTHER, or the likes of GENESIS and PINK FLOYD, you will certainly enjoy this music !<br />

frame drum, surdo, mahogany pro djembes, tamborin and persian zarb & dohol drums, rababa, ouds, saz, kamancheh, panjab clay flute, native iranian ney and sipsi<br />

Didier BARDIN<br />

French keyboards player and composer Didier BARDIN is a Musicology graduate from Paris' famous Sorbonne University. The conception of his project "Le Pouvoir<br />

Des Pierres" (2008) originates from a question: is it possible to create a soothing and beneficial music, while varied and interesting ? One first work concerned the<br />

discoveries of Professor Lee BARTEL, of Toronto University. His searches reveal the direct effect of certain frequencies on the production of alpha, beta and delta<br />

cerebral waves. They also show the action of certain rhythms on the respiratory and cardiac cycle. The symbolism of certain minerals, as well as their vibratory<br />

properties, appearead as an appropriate concept, while proposing a readability which is largely accessible to the listener. The five years of work that this project took<br />

enabled to overlap closely these different aspects, the creation of specific tonal sonic textures supposing a melodic and harmonic writing of the "tension/expansion"<br />

type. Nevertheless, the artist had to propose a pleasant and harmonious music, readily accessible, leaving the listener with the liberty to choose his own listening and<br />

attention level. The result of this reflection is released today by the Dreaming label. Verdict ? Winning bet !<br />

Pascal BAUDOT<br />

This multi-instrumentalist who particularly enhances keyboards and guitars, performs a highly emotionnal, suggestive and picturesque music which is the musical<br />

translation of some emotions modelling human life. His music goes from ambiental themes using mixed multiple sounds (noises, voices) to calm themes developing<br />

in impressionist fragments played by the keyboards, or to energetic and frenetic themes evoking CHANGING IMAGES or MIND OVER MATTER. This record is a<br />

cornucopia of climates and images.<br />

BEDLAM (France)<br />

BEDLAM was created by MALATAVERNE's keyboardist Thierry VANDERSTRAETEN, and shows a repetitive electronic music that evolves with subtle changes.<br />

The music reminds of Steve REICH, but less dogmatic. "Mayday" was recorded in 2000.<br />

Pierre-Yves BESSUAND<br />

First album by this talented young composer and keyboardist. The rich and subtle blend of the classical, rock and electronic orchestrations shows a new approach of<br />

instrumental music. Since the first notes, this 13-track album pleasantly immerges us into the very evocative atmosphere of soundtracks through a story told in music<br />

that each of us has to interpret.<br />
