  EDS Trio – Album « SOMBRE » Retrouvailles sur un air de jazz… Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd Cd Digital, Cd Physical – Limited Edition The album "Sombre" marks the return of the jazz trio EDS. After a break of nearly two decades, the bet was daring: record in a few days the album of the reunion. Alchemy works more than ever! Their playing has matured and marries the freedom and complicity acquired through a long practice of pure improvisation with the clarity of themes and compositions... EDS Trio on Spotify The lyricism and fluidity of Stéphane Sassi's piano dialogue with the atmospheric and sonic richness of Vincent Géraud's drums, all carried by the flawless pulsation, breaths and depth of Raphaël Commerçon's bass.

ADOLFO (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Director Sofia Auza Music by Andrés Sánchez Maher & Gus Reyes Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd   Selection BERLIN 2023 – Generation When Momo, Hugo and his cactus, Adolfo meet one night, they are heading in opposite directions.

MAXIMILIEN MATHEVON Album “Near You”

  MAXIMILIEN MATHEVON Album “Near You” A Valentine Day message… Near You tells the beginnings of a love story: the first date, the first weekends, the first holidays, all the excitement and the happiness of being with the loved one. Near You on Spotify   For Near You, I sought an atmosphere of serenity, fulfillment and happiness, using orchestral sounds, the softness of the flutes, the nobility of the horns, the scintillation of the chromatic percussions, the sensuality of the cello and the voices. The last track (“The Walk Of The Little Clown Chicken”), a nod to the loved one, uses baby piano and takes the form of a “walk” inspired by Henry Mancini.

Our state's regional music typically features the accordion as the main instrument. Jessica Quiroz, the director, told us she wanted to use the accordion in her short film to portray her roots through the music. This was interesting for us to explore because we had never used the accordion in our scores before. We experimented by using the accordion as a root instrument and sampling and converting it into synths. This allowed u...
