ALBUM REVIEW
MIZMAR is the name of a project by Rodrigue LECOQUE, the keyboards player of AMETHYST. This album presents the original soundtrack of "Contes De La Main Gauche" ("Tales Of The Left Hand"), an anthology written by Guillaume LECOQUE. It was realized during the autumn and winter 2001-2002, and relates to the Arabian Nights. The inspiration for these tales comes from photographs captured in Yemen by Guillaume. The music is between electro-world (Close to ANOKHA, ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION...), trip-hop (MASSIVE ATTACK, AIR...) and Progressive rock, through the symphonic aspect of certain pieces. The artist used samples spacially captured in Yemen and enabling a blend of occidental and oriental musics. Influences such as that of Yann TIERSEN are also sensible. Through that album, Rodrigue LECOQUE drifts somewhat from the jazz-rock fusion music of his band AMETHYST, in order to realize a more personal and intimist opus. This is a way for him to share the whole scope of his musical world. (Musea)
