Ten Years in the Making
Summary
" This is partly because, despite being influenced by such pioneers of electronic music as Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre and Enigma, Duguays sound is all of his own.YDX is a musical project created by Canadian composer Yann Duguay, and this record has been gestating for nearly a decade in his mind." And quite frankly, when the tunes are this good, who cares?What we do know is that this lawyer turned musical pioneer is obsessive about his true calling." This is partly because, despite being influenced by such pioneers of electronic music as Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre and Enigma, Duguays sound is all of his own.Even as a child taking piano lessons he would be frowned upon for playing his own tunes instead of those he was supposed to be practicing.It is a dense mix of strong melodies and epic soundscapes, of electronic and traditional music, of the old and the new.The real strength though, is how YDX produces such harmony from all these elements.
