I Paint

from Ceux qui me manquent by Sonia Bricout

supported by

Christopher Moklebust I am not one who typically buys one song off of an album, but I just could not justify purchasing the entirety of Ceux qui me manquent. That being said I could not go without this one little song - I Paint. What a wistful little tune.

lyrics

I paint pictures on my face
and draw eyes on my eyes
so I can see in the dark.
I paint fingers on my hands
so I can feel all the sparks coming to me into the air.

All the ghosts around your neck
and the signs on the wall
calling me as I walk ;
Rain makes letters in the grass,
there's a spell on your name,
turning the night into a flame.

Imaginary Mountains

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

Composed entirely by the keyboardist of Ghost Rhythms, Camille Petit, this is modern classical and chamber prog with a cinematic feel. Described as being about “infinity and finiteness,” there are choral voices at times, but the recording remains in an instrumental mode throughout. Ably performed by a whole host of musicians, the music is sometimes slightly disturbing, but always fascinating and sure to keep pulling you in. Nickie Harte Kelly

Amma (a requiem for the paleocontact hypothesis)
by Habitat Farine

I love the duality of the foreground instrumentation and its expanding/dissapating overtones at the front of the mix, paired with the more distant echoing reverberations of accompanying instrumentation in the back of the mix creating an atmosphere of simultaneous continuity between near and far. Perfectly fits the theme. Haunting, sometimes dissonant, and yet overall strangely peaceful. Beautiful. Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse)
