CIRC
Early Works is a reissue of 3 albums previously released on the web in 2007. It contains 36 songs composed between 2000 and 2007. Shortly before 2000 I discovered virtual sequencers. I was very excited by the opportunity to be able to compose my own songs using full of virtual instruments and to test many experiments. I considered the tool as a nice way to have a band available to play the songs. Quickly I was addicted to composition. When I had free time, I was building a loop and play it in repeat mode while adding sounds, adjusting knobs, add variations, till build a song. It was really like a video game for me, I had a playful and spontaneous approach to the tool. As a result I had plenty of playful, melancholy, dark and weird songs that I started to share with buddies. Then I decided to upload them on the web and had great feedback from the listeners even if the songs were full of imperfections. Recently I re-listened to these old songs, it was very fun to hear that. It was not that bad, and i fell it was like a kind of genesis of what I do now. I thought you might like it :)

Over the past few months, I've enjoyed exploring ambient soundscapes where relaxing textures meet simple, melancholic melodies. I'm sharing the results of these experiments through six tracks where lingering memories dissolve into dreamlike and intimate atmospheres, where nostalgia becomes comforting, otherworldly, and sometimes dark and sad.
