Impossible Piano Album

Started in 1999 and finished in 2007 this album is made of piano solo and piano and orchestra piece. Most of the songs are both in solo and orchestra version. I wanted to made an album where the technology is not used to make weird sounds but rather to created beautiful music. So everything is done with computers as usual, but no weird fx, no fancy echoes and reverbs. Just a natural and pure sound inspired by the classical music. However the smart musicians will notice that the piano and orchestra is arranged as a rock band, with a bass, pads, rhythm… all is played with the piano, that’s why it is almost impossible to play most of these songs with anything else than a computer. The best of the modern and old times…

Medley Impossible Piano

Heidelberg Orchestral - 5:45

First song made for Impossible Piano back in 1999. Great mix of all instruments and the piece I really love the most in this album. It is made with 3 different themes that plug together. There is a mix of uplifting and nostalgia that stick after the music ends. It was made first for piano and orchestra and I lost the original master. I re-created it in 2004 to finalize this album.

For Diana Orchestral - 3:47

This song has been created the night when I knew that she died in a car accident. It was first made for the album Dreamscape in general midi but now re-created for orchestra and piano. The next day, my ex-wife and I went to the hospital do leave some flowers in her memory.

Wake Up N

ow (Piano Solo) - 5:45

Made shortly after Heidelberg this song was also the reason I wanted to do this piano and orchestra album. It has a similar structure as Heidelberg, with several themes plugged together.

Aliens Orbital Orchestral - 2:54

What a strange name! This song was created for Aliens CBA (check Alien CBA album to listen the first version made for General Midi sound cards. I’ve re-arranged it for this album to be played with piano and orchestra.

Vero Orchestral - 11:53

Description : Created in one night for Veronique Lesciellour my girlfriend in 1992. She is the only one to have an original version, I gave her as a gift (how romantic I was). She dumped me 6 months after. The original version was longer and had 2 songs included for more than 20 min of today improvisation. This version has been simplified and re-orchestrated.

Rain Fall Orchestral - 3:04

This song has been first created for Helena and called ‘Rigolade’ (laughter). I arranged it differently for this album, I like the theme and the melody. The Helena version is very cool and uplifting!

Adagio Nuptial Orchestral - 4:09

This song has been created for my weeding in 1994. I did several versions. I lost the original that was played in the church. It was a very emotional moment. This song is made to be used on these kind of occasions, and there are not a lot of choice for that. If you use it for your weeding, please let me know. This song is also a very sad memory about Pascal de France a good friend who died in the most weird and tragic way, alone in his huge castle, with a gas m

ask on the face. One of the most intelligent person I’ve ever met. He loved this song. Nadrys was made for him too…

Rain Fall (Piano Solo) - 3:04
