Thierry Maillard - Moog Project (2023) Hi Res

According to the information reaching us, this album has something to delight almost all of humanity, including Supertramp fans who have the opportunity to listen to new interpretations of compositions by the German band, lovers of pop melodies English speakers, fans of jazz rock keyboardists, jazz enthusiasts, rock fans, prog' rock addicts, fans of electronic music and…. the aficionados of Thierry Maillard, who is no longer an additional innovation in the world of music. For this opus he joined the presence of his favorite drummer, Yoann Schmidt, and that of a pianist very comfortable in different styles of jazz (swing, be-bop), Amaury Faye. In addition to the covers of the pop group, Thierry Maillard composed 4 new tracks and allowed the drummer to add 2 tracks (“Kristelle” and “Le Bagne”) and to arrange the famous standard “All The Things You Are”. For Thierry, it all started with the desire to reconnect with the legendary vintage instrument that is the Moog synthesizer, which comes in several models: the Modular, the mini Moog, the Polymoog, the Multimoog or the Prodigy. Thierry “with golden fingers” Maillard (did you notice the common point between Maillard and Moog? Both begin with the M of… Moog) surrounded himself with about twenty electronic instruments (much like the Herbie Hancock of the Sunlight era, in 1978, or the greats like Klaus Schulze or Rick Wakeman), because at the time, in the '70s, everything was done in analogue, live. And this is the reason why Thierry Maillard did not cheat and did not use re-recording and the digital tool. And quite frankly, for those who vibrated on the recordings of the 70s, it's like a wind of happiness, an immense ray of happiness, a memory that periodically comes alive when talented artists like Thierry Maillard make these instruments vibrate again. “from the past” but still current. Moog Project, a new project far removed from the previous one, Une Larme de Pluie, as if after the soothing and luminous solo acoustics, we absolutely needed the emotion of electronics. Terrible, enormous, brilliant, gripping, intense, dazzling, not to say monumental. Simply essential.
