I listened and enjoy your work a lot. I do notice the instrumentation is quite unique. May I ask who the performers are?

You know, I did suspect that for a moment! But the lyricism of the flute seemed too good for that. Great work

You can now listen to all the tracks of the album either on my website ( http://www.maximilienmathevon.com/bande … albums.php ) or on deezer ( http://www.deezer.com/fr/album/6145979 ) and spotify ( http://t.co/hwVpnr56 )

In 1798, general Napoleon Bonaparte left the shores of France with an army and a group of scientists. His destination: Egypt.
The adventurous campaign of Egypt with its famous battles and its amazing scientific and exotic discoveries, was full of unexpected showdowns… and it taught to General Bonaparte many lessons on the difficult subject of leading people. From military genius, he became a political genius – an asset that would benefit him greatly in the years to come…
Napoleon again! Less than one year after the series « NAPOLEON », I was working again on a documentary about this fascinating man’s life. But this time the focus was on the campaign of Egypt only.
It was yet another collaboration with director Ghislain Vidal. I had previously worked on several of his projects, including the historical series “The trials in History” (Les procès de l’Histoire) whose episode “The Duke of Enghien” featured an older Napoleon already played by Jonathan Salmon.
From the beginning, it was agreed that I would make a very minimal use of authentic ethnic elements – instead, the music for « BONAPARTE EN EGYPTE » would refer to a romantic and sweeping style, which also gave me the opportunity to be very thematic. And there are lots of themes and motives in this music: A main theme, Bonaparte’s theme, the English theme, the « mysterious Egypt » theme, the French army motif, the Mamelouk army motif …. And yet others! I really had a great time composing this colorful and sometime refreshingly “over the top” music!

ABOUT THE RELEASE :

UNE VIE AILLEURS is a series of three documentaries about the people who, because of their belief, their life choices or the profession they practice, decided to live in a different way:
Workers on an oil platform off the coast of Congo, crew members of an atomic submarine or
Nuns in a Cistercian monastery.

Although they share common musical themes and motives, this three environments are very dissimilar and each one has its own personality and got its own sound:
For the highly industrial and metallic nature of the platform, I used metallic clanging sounds and gamelan samples, as well as kalimba and steel guitar.
For the submarine, I went into a more electronic and militaristic territory.
And for the monastery, I had to summon a softer sound, using chromatic percussions, harp and piano, as well as electronic enhancements.
Concerning the elements common to all episodes, I adapted the themes so that they fit the three different moods.
The album includes music from each episode: The oil platform (track 1 – 15), the submarine (track 16 – 27) and the monastery (track 28 – 37).


The series will be broadcasted on French TV channel France 5. More infos (In french):

I've taken the liberty of changing the topic title from the generic "album release" to the composer's name.
Bringing out material like this, I would think he rather deserves his own composer topic!

Maybe change it to our regular all-caps too?

Now there's a more distinctive thread title. I didn't even notice this thread til now.

Why, that's great! Thanks a lot! To you too: All the best in 2014!

Volker

BOX OFFICE

Publisher / Label: Plaza Mayor Company / The Orchard
Format: Digital download
Number of tracks: 7
Length: 40’ 11
Release date: 16 June 2014

Track listing:
01 Box Office suite 1 (2’03)
02 Box Office suite 2 (2’31)
03 Box Office suite 3 (3’04)
04 Box Office suite 4 (1’23)

" Box Office " is a compilation of 4 short original soundtracks I composed between 2007 and 2013 - projects that often had only restricted or confidential broadcasting. These 4 projects are:

- BOX OFFICE (2007 - track 1-4) Short film directed by Olivier Picolet and produced by Globulo. “Box Office” is a macabre comedy focusing on the absurd and the shift of tone. These features can also be found in the score: The music is sometimes burlesque, sometimes sinister, but always tongue-in-cheek!
Watch the short film on Dailymotion (french):

- A SIP OF HOT TEA (2011 - track 5) " Cédric Carré – Une gorgée de thé chaud / Cédric Carré - A sip of hot tea " is a documentary directed by Philippe Ungar: a portrait of the painter Cedric Carré. The artist explains his vision of his art and takes us to the heart of his creative process. It was an opportunity for me to work again with minimalist and repetitive styling in order to illustrate the creation of the painter’s contemporary works. This musical suite consists on actual material used in the film and alternative versions.

- ETUDE EN NOIR ET BLANC (2013 - track 6). This suite that I named "Etude en noir et blanc" includes preliminary work composed for a political and strategic documentary involving the Cold War period. Unfortunately, that movie remained just a project and never saw the light of day. This project, however, allowed me to happily work again with jazzy moods!

- VOTIM MAMA (2010 - track 7). A documentary by Igal Kohen about elections in Papua - New - Guinea and the struggle of a candidate against the corruption that prevails there . The idea for me was to compose a discreet and minimalist music that could recreate the bittersweet atmosphere of the film, ranging from hope and determination to resignation and sadness.

Thank you Alan, I 'm glad you like it. As for the suite format, (be it for the "a sip of hot tea" track or the "Votim Mama" one) it was a difficult decision - as it always is when it comes to edit tracks and try to give the album presentation the best flow. In this case, those scores consist of many very short tracks and I felt the flow and evolution of the music would be best served with the suite presentation. Of course, ultimately, this is down to pure subjectivity
