OK, I have to admit I made a mistake, but I listened and finally renamed the album ‘Work In Progress 2015’ to ‘Reallusions’… and the cover is Reallusionally nice, isn’t it?

Try looking at it by moving your eyes closer and further apart and you’ll see what I mean! The music is basically the same, I just renamed two titles, that’s it!

The other important album I wanted to talk about is ‘Meditation in the Forest’:

I always wanted to record another album with birds, like in my 1978 ‘Osmose’ LP. Now that I live near a forest with many birds around, it has become easy! Some of them sing so beautifully that I composed around their melodies. Listen here an example

Tuning and playing music with the birds sends me into a trance. I could play for hours, feeling always different as the environment varies around me. What do you feel when you hear these birds? And with the music? Drop me a line? 

If you want to review one of my albums and we chose to publish it on my website, I will send you a special gift.

Talk to you soon, and keep well,

Ariel

YEAH! Here is my brand-new blog!

Upon request of a growing number of fans (which delights me to no end), I have started writing a blog to share what I'm up to.

Work In Progress 2015

What was new this year for me? Everything! In January, I decided I would play home concerts via Internet streaming. But then I was asked to do some concerts in the USA during summer (as I was anyway visiting our son living in California). So, I researched and bought new portable equipment. The learning curve was steep (months and months of preparation), but the rewards are big!

I can now lay simultaneous layers of sounds, play my instruments and have it recorded all at once! Each time I find a good combination of sounds I record the semi-improvised session based on previous (sometimes ancient) compositions of mine. I have recorded lots of pieces! I assembled some of the best ones in a new album named ‘Work In Progress 2015'. You can also download tracks and the full album from iTunes.

Again, I want to emphasize, what I call Synchronous Simultaneity, where Equipment and Player resonate, like at the end of “Sons Du Vide”. Actually my work mainly consist of tuning animate and inanimate … then Inspiration flows. Am I too esoteric?  It actually is simple…. resonance is everywhere… once 2 systems resonate, it is like a space opens up… like being in love… like a cat purring… 

Oh, and if you are curious how the concerts in the US went, read some comments by people who write better than I do.
