THE LOUNGITUDE

About Me

After being on compilations such as Buddha Bar, Cafe del Mar, Barramundi, Classical Comfort ... under the names of "Erik Satie"(Gnossienne N° 1), Sand System, Acid Blues, Kalenda, with tracks in which Classical music meets Lounge, Fred de Fred (composer/producer/remixer) decided to mix this concept on an album : THE LOUNGITUDE."Musique de Chambre" to chill, dream, love, mainly inspired by classical composers (Bach, Satie, Debussy, Chopin, Smetana ...).He associated to this project Leigh Devlin aka Minus Blue (producer/remixer) and Phil Wolestenholme (designer/photographer/3D computer artist) with who he worked on the exhibition "Imagine" at the Chartreuse de Valbonne in Provence (France) in July 2006 as the first of a series of Digital Arts and Electro-music performances directly influenced by a monument, a place, its history, culture and environment. ..
