The Sami, also known as Lapps, are the indegenous people of Northern Scandinavia. Hailing from northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia (the Kola Peninsula), their lives and appearance have a lot in common with Native Americans. Their music is dominated by the unique and easily recognizable Joik (or Yoik) which again lends similarities to the chanting vocal styles of Native American music. It is often accompanied by a simple hand drum beat.
Slow, ('Lent' in French), and free-flowing, this track evokes an almost daydream like state. This is the first of three works to be given the name Gnossienne name by Erik Satie to reflect this new style of composition.
A waltz for solo piano which conjures up images of Paris and popular song around 1900. The title translates into, 'I Want You', and reflects the sentimental nature of the track. A wonderful backdrop for European productions.
A very happy and uptempo, feelgood pop-dance track. Positively oozing, uplifting vibes. Piano groove, funky clav, occasional brass/horn licks. Joyful and driving.
Happy, uptempo "Hot Club of France" type jazz, performed on acoustic guitars. ("Boulangerie" is French and means Bakery).
An exotic, swaying, acoustic chillout track. With a very slight latin feel, this track is all about summer, holiday, relaxation, romance, silky smooth beaches and long, hot nights. Very tasteful, and excellent for travel, holiday or good times.
Shake your feet and dance ! Good mood french-sytle electro funk with classical club elements from the 70s and 80s, vintage feeling included. String passages, funky basslines, guitars, amazing grooves and classic 80 EDM elements combined to get the french touch sound.
Dark and sombre piece based on strings and piano. Very cinematic piece suitable for any dark, ominous drama or fiction.
Popular and amusing, this piano solo by Dvorak is the most famous of his '8 Humoresques'. A loose and flowing track which has been used in many humorous settings. Great for conveying a little comical, witty or satirical feeling.
Powerful, primitive, focussed, intense, determined, brutally heavy rock track with an industrial feel. Epic, glorious, passionate, dynamic, dirty & dangerous, with some arabian flavours. Crushingly suited to action / extreme sports / combat / military type projects.
