apha-lyra - music for the stars  
Music for the stars

Full of synthetic and repetitive musics since the seventies, Christian Piednoir, alias AlphaLyra, composed Music for the stars in 2006. With this first album, you can feel a real predilection for "cosmic music". With 5 titles, this album is an homage paid to the stars, where the music is so wide with strings, and with silky sequential choirs. Deep and paradisiac sequences reveal electronic gimmicks. Sometimes cyclic music after Steve Reich's or Phil Glass's manner, other times complex music like Klaus Schulze's, Music for the stars is a delight for the ears.

alpha-lyra - aquarius  
Aquarius

Behind his instruments the musician give a real emotion in this second album, AlphaLyra. A long chord leads to an unexpected arpeggio. At times, you are close to heartbreak and stiring eruptions you use to find in Klaus Schulze's work. The third and most original piece of the album suggests an "ambient music" style, result of a Brian Eno and Phil Glass meeting. The fourth and longest piece of the CD (22mn) immerses the listener in a true aquatic univers. Incompatible musics, as minimalists songs and rich strings and choir chords, are mixed here with succes by AlphaLyra.

I am impregnated in electronic music for more than 30 years. In the past, this kind of music was called "Krautrock" (the german term) or "cosmic music". It leads to the "New age" in 1980, and electropop, and techno. The two last genres are far away from what I am doing. My favorite musicians are Klaus Schulze, and Brian Eno who created the "ambient music".

My music is influenced by the two styles, with choirs, strings instruments and unreal sounds. The pieces are quite long, so the listener can slowly enter into the music and let himself carry away with songs.

Garantee for relax !
