Philippe Petit - "The Garden of Earthly Delights" CD

On this new work Philippe Petit intended to create a contemporary soundtrack for Hieronymus Bosch’s "The Garden of Earthly Delights" triptych : Bosch’s most complex and enigmatic creation whose overall theme is the fate of humanity.

Following his interest in library music and soundtracks our « Musical Travel-Agent » has been conjuring up a thought-provoking and intriguing universe relying on the use of real instruments such as cymbalom, pianos, guitar and percussion that he plays like a kid discovering a new toy, improvising and attaching great importance to gesture and stressing dynamics. His choices aren’t consensual, not cozying up potential listeners, a punky approach even if throughout the past years he has been following courses of composition + electroacoustic music at the conservatory, specializing in modular synthesis and creating the first platform devoted to promoting the genre:
