We are really enthusiastic to present you this amazing experimental project and aural approach of our dear master Jean Luc Briançon aka Kurtz Mindfields. This third chapter is dedicated to the oldschool supporters of pure analog ambient music from the Berlin school period. Spanning the influences of early Berlin School style and fine electronica, Kurtz Mindfields is creating complex electronic grooves, and using his jazz skill to create original musical pieces with deep ambiances, atmospheric sequences and flying soloing. Using mainly analog synthesizers, the album also been mixed with trans-aural software to recreate a 3D space sensation with only 2 speakers, and improve the music in another dimension.
1/ Aeolis:
Influenced by Vangelis, a spacial piano introduction which evolved towards an electronic complex waltz with jazz atmosphere.
2/ Crystal Cathedral:
Homage to klaus Schulze “Mirage Period”, a great moving 3D sound palette of analog synth when slowly a crystaline sequence and an obsessive groove
emerge to train the listener to a sound cathedral.
3/ Equivox Seven:
jean Michel jarre first album ambiance, old rhythm machine machines and interlaced spatial sequences with soloing musical piece.
4/ Heliosfear:
back to Tangerine Dream eighty’s complex sequences and grooves science, with 3D treatment and flying melodies.
5/ Mooger Things:
Could be a part of the TV series “Stranger Things” soundtrack. Big bass sequencing art.
6/ Gate Of A New Dimension:
Electronic electro-jazz groove and jazz skill.
7/ Midnight Analog Plan:
Analog modular composition for a kind of generic soundtrack, in the mood of John Carpenter movies!
8/ Ice Castle:
opening homage to Klaus Schulze “Cyborg trauma”, moving to an modern electronica groove musical piece.
9/ Still On The Run:
Pink Floyd ambiances and obsessive slow sequence till the end of the tune.
Artwork : Mathilde Mathieu et François Helly.
Mastering: Nuage7.
