Proxima

by Clément Belio

supported by

Nicky Byloo One of the best finds this year for me even though I was late to the party. This EP truly blows the mind. Favorite track: Etiquette (part 1).

Mrpolaris3 Clément is an open minded, talented musician. His tunes are fresh, inspiring and to some extend addictive.
Let's hope he will release some new material soon !

Lyrics from Fabien Pilgrim & Franck Roder Bounded in my sunken ark I'm now your witness As you feel your body melting, drown to the ground this stream flows in me, my ark, your coffin. You lose your cousciouness for the awakening to the new step, A brand new path for all your kind God is in his heaven now and I stand for all God is in his heaven now and I stand for all I feel my hands dropping, as I lose it all. The wolves got lose and crave for blood. Designing new patterns of hate, as my mind awakes. Nothing will stop me from now on. Unbreakable will, a clutch of steel in a velvet glove. Last fight for a lost cause. Last Melee for my broken bones.

about

An EP ? So what ?

Here you got my first actual try in mixing those genres : "Progressive metal, jazz, fusion." That's all.
Actually, the genre already exists but does not have any name.
And I like it for this too ! All is "to create, to discover, to innovate…"

My influences are clear, and will be clear for those who got the same as me.
Animals as Leaders, T.R.A.M and Mestis, Chimp Spanner, Meshuggah and Devin Townsend, then e.s.t, Manu Katché, Daniel Mille, Gilad Hekselman… to quickly quote some of them.
Actually, we ALWAYS write music in terms of what we listen.
There are no truly original ideas ever, only original combinations of preceding concepts...

As usual, I've played ALL the instruments, and a little' bit more than usual cuz I went in my cellar to find my old father's instruments that I could use here and there haha.

So, if I played and recorded drums (with my e-kit), bass, guitar, vocals and piano, I also played the Melodica, Kalimba, "canadian spoon", harmonica, spanish guitar, oud, bouzouki, flute, various percussions, metal cans, tam tam, claves...
Always more, MORE AND MORE ! Yes, that's the deal. Layering, layering, layering everywhere, but that's the desired effects ! :)

You can find the details of the guests in the download ^^

BILO III
by David Maxim Micic

This proves that great musicians are great writers/composers first. The genre, the instrument and the technic don't matter anymore, only the final global context is important. Brillant release. Clément Belio

Chascade
by Itzamna

An obvious one if there, my own band, very similar stuff but pretty unique. Jazz, rock, mathrock, klezmler, metal, orchestral, hip hop, prog at its best. Clément Belio
