Etrange En Compagnie - Communication Going Wrong

Enter a world of communication going wrong, but musically with three languages for the lyrics (English, French, Swedish), an instrumentation varying from most of the wind instruments to tones of percussions, violins and a few cellos of all kinds, from the most texture oriented to the more folkloric to electronic dissonance. The abstract vocal melodies are added to epic structures that were fully developed by building the most basic sound patterns with patience, without Bach shortcuts or minimal solutions. It's not intended for a specific crowd that loved an expected sound esthetic. It's heterogenic like life and it breaks the mood with a smile :)
