FOREVER
BLOWING BUBBLES 1975 TITLES |
| FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES 1975 This album followed the heady success of Symphony by charting into new territory. Forever Blowing Bubbles is also based on Composer/keyboardist Cyrille Verdeaux's piano and synthesizers but incorporates a more cohesive group sound featuring bassist/vocalist/composer Joel Dugrenot (ex-Zao), violinist David Cross (King Crimson) & guitarist/flutist Jean Claude d'Agostini (Magic Circus). Shorter songs with more variety are featured with pronounced synthesizer textures and a strong symphonic/psychedelic ambiance. Long a favorite of certain Clearlight fans, Bubbles was remastered to provide the best sound quality possible. In addition to the original tracks, this CD also boasts the presence of four bonus tracks remixed in 2000 from the original 16 track master tape. "Sweet Absinthe" was recorded for the original sessions but left off of the LP. Featuring the triple tracked guitar artistry of Christian Boule along with Verdeaux's inventive keyboards, tuned percussion and outer space French rap, this track transports the listener straight into the next level. The song "Without Words" was remixed to bring out the symphonic qualities of the keyboards, in particular the multiple layers of Mellotron that were obscured on the original mix. "Flute Aquatique" is a remix of "Jungle Bubbles" but with the flute and percussion taking center stage creating a piece that would be at place at a world music festival. The CD ends with an alternate mix of "Sweet Absinthe" for those who prefer their Clearlight straight, no chaser. |

CLEARLIGHT
VISIONS
|
| CLEARLIGHT VISIONS Following the recording sessions of Les Contes du Singe Fou, Cyrille Verdeaux was convinced of the need to strike out on his own as an independent producer. This realization occurred after he watched the concept album released to relatively small sales because of insufficient marketing and promotion. Expanding on the modal jazz and classical themes of his earlier work, he was eager to incorporate his new discoveries of Northern Indian raga music and yoga studies. Freed from the conditions being made by the mercantile record companies, Cyrille Verdeaux reinvented his progressive orchestra with his musician friends to record new Clearlight music. Returning from Les Contes du Singe Fou was renowned jazz violinist Didier Lockwood. Gong saxophonist "Bloomdido" Didier Malherbe and guitarist Christian Boule participated throughout the sessions. The LP was recorded in France and was mixed and mastered to Cyrille's exacting standards and a live band was assembled to play the music live, with the group touring with Gong in 1979. The cover, expertly painted by Brazilian painter Sergio Macedo also incorporated Verdeaux fascination with Kundalini Yoga and features a transparent female yogini hovering above the a crystal city of the future, with energy emanating from her Chakras, a yogic system of spiritual anatomy. The
music itself is a combination of composed music with improvised solos.
The musician's interplay borders on telepathic and strains of Classical,
Jazz-rock and Indian music fuse seamlessly into a timeless quilt. This
CD release includes the entire 1978 album along with bonus tracks recorded
by Verdeaux and friends with the songs back in the original LP order.
After the 1979 tour with Gong, Verdeaux disbanded Clearlight and embarked
onto a solo career with the album Messenger of the Son. |

Cyrille
Verdeaux: Keyboards, Composer, and Rhythmic Initiation |
| NOCTURNES DIGITALES This CD is the seventh chakra (Sahasrara) of Cyrille Verdeaux's Kundalini Opera series. Wood, wind, water cascade with nature to create a tapestry in this soothing pastiche. Piano, strings and echo combine to create an inner healing and therapeutic dimension. A scientific experiment utilizing the electroencephalogram (EEG) demonstrated increased alpha brain wave activity whilst listening to this music, creating an increased sense of well being and relaxation. The sounds used by the composer are structured to quiet transient brainwaves of the listener, counteracting the effects of stress and tension. Nocturnes Digitales is created to help the listener reharmonize his/her own energetic biorhythms and resynchronize the patterns of DNA. The resulting combination of sound, texture and melody developed produces an optimal sonic environment for massage, bodywork, meditation and yoga. These qualities make this an excellent tool for professional massage therapists and bodyworkers. Nocturnes Digitales corresponds to the color orange, the auric color for family, procreation and sexuality. Other attributes for orange: sensuality, passion, vitality, family orientation, tolerance and optimism. |

PIANO
FOR THE THIRD EAR
|
| PIANO
FOR THE THIRD EAR This album is solo piano composed and played by Cyrille Verdeaux. The melodies played on this album cascade waterfall flurries of notes with a style that one French musical critic described as "oceanique". Consisting of recordings both studio and live, the tracks include "Songe de Cristal" from Clearlight Visions and "Remember Jonathan", a memorial written for Cyrille Verdeaux's young son and previously featured on the Windham Hill Piano sampler album. The sixth chakra, located on the brow (Ajna), is said in many texts to be the site of the so-called third eye (and "third ear"). Musicians, poets and the prophets communicate by the means of this inner ear. This chakra represents the doors of perception, the key to higher consciousness, the voice of God. The Grand Piano functions as an entire orchestra keying into the resonant 6th chakra frequencies. The sixth chakra is associated with the pituitary gland, lower brain, left eye, ears, nose and nervous system. Emotional issues associated with this chakra are truth, intellectual abilities, openness to ideas of others, ability to learn from experiences and emotional intelligence. Physical ailments associated with this chakra are brain tumor and/or hemorrhage, stroke, neurological disturbances, blindness, deafness, full spinal difficulties, learning disabilities, and seizures. |

JOURNEY
TO TANTRALAND Musicians: Cyrille Verdeaux: Synthesizers, Electronics and Composer Dallas Smith: Bamboo flute, Lyricon |
| JOURNEY
TO TANTRALAND The
second chakra of the Kundalini Opera is linked with energies and thoughts
of sexual nature. The second chakra (Svadhisthana) exists at the lumbar
plexus and promotes generation, creativity and expression. Journey to
Tantraland is composed to harmonize the energies and thoughts of sexual
nature. This music is composed to be used for massage therapy as well
as love making. The momentum and modulations of Cyrille VerdeauxÕs music
work with Tai Chi, meditation and tantra yoga (tantrism being the yoga
of mastery of sexual energy). Individuals trapped at this level of consciousness
tend to view people and life only through sexuality and selfish pleasure,
creating a debased view of life. Sexual energy expressed through the
free and open movement of Kundalini through the second chakra has the
capacity to purify into love and selflessness, alchemically transforming
the aspirant. Tantra is the study of the universal from the point of
view of the individual. This ancient vedic science of India is devoted
to understanding the alignment of the microcosm with the macrocosm through
a set of mental and spiritual exercises that bring about a sense of
unity with the infinite. This unity is realized by lovers during the
ecstatic bliss of sexual intercourse where the two (duality, male/female,
yin/yang) are reconciled and merge into oneness. The divine and the
drop of water merges into the ocean absorb the individual separate consciousness.
Journey to Tantraland is the voyage of alignment for the fusion of male
and female energy. |
