Cedric Leroy is a French keyboard player born in Dakar, Senegal. He creates his electronic music with Midi-keyboards, sequencers, a piano and several computer-assisted music software tools. On his first album Éologie, he claims a high environmental consciousness with a tribute to wind and earth. So you can hear thirteen atmospheric and ethereal compositions, each developing a different atmosphere. Some of them can even be used for your own soundtracks or films. As you would expect, Cerdic Leroy is influenced by the music of Jean Michel Jarre, but the electronic sounds of Vangelis or Michael Garrison are never far away. We can even hear modern sounds and beats like DJ Tiësto uses and ambient music as well. Moreover, the thirteen tracks vary in length between three and five minutes; there is never a dull moment. My personal favourites are Éologie, parts 6, 7, 9 and 13. So, if you like varied electronic music, try this one. By the way, the only criticism I’ve got is of a mechanical nature: on my CD-player the first tracks end very abrupt, even rude... ***+ Cor Smeets (edited by Peter Willemsen) Where to buy? |
