Collapsing Star
--------------------------------
Three part "suite" of material that was me in "soundtrack" mode. I'm reluctant to refer to it as an epic because there aren't really melodic/harmonic motifs carrying across all three parts.
At some point it might be fun to do soundtrack-type work again, if the right project came along and I had the time/inspiration.
Part I:
This chord progression is actually one of the ONLY bits that I originally planned to use with Ephemeral Sun, but it never found a home. I have several abandoned versions of the progression as well, before this one finally came together.
I get weirdly uneasy about leaving space in songs...as if the absence of a melody or lead would immediately put the listener to sleep. It was a bit of a personal challenge to let this one be and not try to fill every "gap" with something.

Among the best instrumental prog albums I've heard: brilliant musicianship, lots of light and shade; will appeal to heavy Rockers as well as symphonic proggers - love it! Phil Jackson

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John
