Ocoeur turns back time, piano tastefully graced with soft field samples, a flute, a violin, daubing a vivid, moderately Celtic landscape where sheep may safely graze.
The not-so chance meeting of a summer’s day in Provence and a sensitive soul with two hands at the keyboard and a third occasionally manipulating a bank of buttons and dials. As Ocoeur, sound designer Franck Zaragoza from Bruges, perhaps never before so chaste, goes straight to the heart on the strangely, and appealingly, pre-modern Reversed. Ocoeur turns back time, piano tastefully graced with soft field samples, a flute, a violin, daubing a vivid, moderately Celtic landscape where sheep may safely graze. It is pure picnic, a day off suffused with tranquility, created to peek over the brow of a hill, soak in the Mediterranean breeze standing cliff-side, muddy shoes and lie back in tall grass not bothering to watch the clouds. Beautifully rendered bucolic scenes “as still” as Coleridge wrote, “as a painted ship / Upon a painted ocean.”
Reversed is available on n5MD.
