Musically I’m somewhat of a mixture. I write a lot for vocal groups, but also perform solo, either accompanying myself on guitar, keyboards, and percussion, or doing a purely accoustic set on guitar and voice...
I originally started this Myspace to promote CREDO a cross-over work for two choirs and contemporary chamber group on the theme of the Creed, first recorded in French a few years ago, subsequently released in English.
I've just released a new French CD, PASSAGE, subtitled 'faith from afar', written for piano, 7-string guitar, a vocal quartet and solo voice. The guitar was built by Andy Manson in 2006, for this project, which was first performed at Orléans cathedral.
The 7-string guitar has taken on a life far beyond this one project. Until now words have been very important in my compositions. I continue to write lyrics, but alongside that I’m exploring how much you can say with a purely instrumental repertoire.
So the listening tracks here are from the new album PASSAGE, from CREDO, and from the 7-string instrtumental repertoire, which I hope to add to shortly.
