1.
This song is about the sadness of a wandering in the arms of a storm, from which everyone would like to liberate oneself to join the quietude or the happiness of communing with warmer and sunny arms.
2.
Dedicated to Gaëlle, my dear girlfriend. I love you!
3.
This piece is about the inner life when it's confined within funereal walls from which a hope-for escape is just a glow in the dark, through the darkness of those who already experienced this buried life, haunted by the crows in their soul.
4.
Dedicated to my grandmother, flown away to the Overworld on February 5th, 2018. RIP with this song, grandma!

6.
This song is about Erebus, a place and a river in the kingdom of Hades, in the Greek mythology. That's here where the soul of a child came at midnight to sleep and to dream by the river but that's here too where the child will give up the ghost, his quiet, living and dreamy soul, by opening the gate of Hades Palace beyond the fog...
7.
This song is an exploration of an idea related to the myth of Atlantis, this mysterious island whose possible existence invites humans to enter this legend and find some inspiration to keep the story fantastic. So, this song is also a bit my (musical) idea about an exploration of this myth.
8.
This song is about Atlas, in the Greek Mythology one of the Titans who took part in the war that the Olympian Gods declared and won against them. This is how the Titans have been precipitated by Zeus in the deep of the Hells, except Atlas, condemned to support the celestial sphere for eternity. It's also said that Atlas was transformed into a mountain, the mount Atlas in Morocco, so high that it touches the skies.

about

'Romances & Legends' was composed, played, recorded, mixed and mastered at home by Echoes of the Soul between July 2017 and March 2018 in Lyon (France). All songs made with my Yamaha P-115 (digital piano) and its instrumental functions (pianos, strings, pipe organ, harpsichord), except those from 'Romances' in which have been added free samples taken on the Web (some instrumental sounds and varied nature ones) and viola parts made by my very talented friend Tauba SCHÖNBECK. Influences from Progressive, Post-Rock, Neoclassical and Minimalist music are infused into this double EP.

'Romances' is about strong feelings related to love and death as well as the torments one can experience in relation to these two aspects of life. Artwork by myself from a photo taken by my dear cousin Marion VALÉRY.

'Legends' has been inspired by scenes from the Greek mythology and related places or legends. Artwork and original photo by myself.

about

Echoes of the Soul Lyon, France

Created in 2013, Echoes Of The Soul is a solo piano-based project with modern influences, with which I evolve as an independant self-taught artist.

If freedom is a path, I would like to cross it forever to evolve by myself in my compositions, my playing and my style.

Welcome!
