SONGES
Songes/Dreams Graphic and musical variations A collaboration between artist/engraver Pierre Cambon and musician/composer Benoit Albert In an electro-acoustic interpretation of Pierre Cambon's engravings, composer Benoit Albert creates 12 musical landscapes depicting a series of sleep cycles, with blurred boundaries, where reality and dream mingle in an imaginary world. This music, inspired by art, decisively turns toward research that touches on human intimacy. In that place of dreams, beyond the physical body, is the presence that tries to transcribe, to reveal itself on the surface of Cambon's copper plate aquatints. Within the music and the prints Albert and Cambon have redefined the classic theme of a model asleep, as a discreet homage to mystery, femininity, and sensuality.

Suite N°1 "Fingerstyle"
The Suite "Fingerstyle" is dedicated to the French Finger Picking legend Christian Laborde. Meeting Christian and the Finger-style milieu in the 2000's allowed me to reconsider the guitar as a more friendly and popular instrument. The suite consists of four continuous movements that borrow heavily from the styled "song" form (verse chorus). The final "Eastern Rush" has an arch structure, strongly influenced by Eastern European music. The slow movement "Quietly" is a tribute to Pat Metheny, following countless plays of "One Quiet Night", a disc that I would happily take with me to the proverbial deserted island... an atmospheric, improvisatory Prelude was the last piece added to the Suite, it serves as a unifying introduction to the other three movements.
