"MOBILIS in MOBILI"
At-Mooss Records
To compose the music in this album, the artist was inspired by
"20 000
Leagues Under the Sea", Jules Verne's famous novel. The CD
is an impressive
voyage through the adventures of Captain Nemo. In an admirable
balance
between almost classical symphonism and Space Synth Pop, the
composer
creates a music underlined with strong emotions and epic
ambiences. The
music is very intense, with romantic, melancholic and also solemn
traits.
The melodies are ever present in all the album, often with
dramatic
orchestrations, and appear to grow little by little, in a
continuous
crescendo that reaches superb heights. The rhythms tend to be
based mostly
on powerful sequencers. Although the artist did not plan
"Mobilis in
mobili" as a dark work, there is no lack of mysterious
passages, where we
can, for instance, imagine we are descending into the
impenetrable darkness
of the abyssal depths. In short, this is contemporany
instrumental music of
the best quality.
