âSad party musicâ, they said.
Iâm a bit emotional today. âYou owe me a dance.â is the last track on the Crown of Thorns soundtrack and posting about it is making me feel like the project is somehow over for me*. To be perfectly precise, it has been for some time, because that piece was finished back in March, but since then, it was just listed as âprivateâ on Soundcloud, and only members of the project had been able to listen to it.
Now it is out. I canât honestly remember what was going through my head when I composed this one. Itâs a collage of pianos and synths, with a bass percussion beating like a heart through it. I donât often use electric guitars, but this one I quite like. I just remember that challenging prompt:Â âsad party musicâ, and my bewilderment. How do you do that? How do you write music to dance to, that would also be bitter-sweet? I mean ABBA can do it, Sia can do it, but did I rise up to the challenge? Youâll tell me!
So yeah, this is goodbye. As I said before, I am forever grateful for the extraordinary experience and opportunity. Crown of Thorns helped me grow as a composer and an artist. I had to chance to work with incredible artists and devoted Good Omens fans who are so generous and hard-working. This will last, in my mind and in my heart.
*Truth is, there will be a last surprise to conclude the whole adventure in late December, but thatâs still far away from now.

I am very proud to present to you my new EP, 4 pieces of instrumental music, infused with dreams, melancholy, hope and flight.
Snuggle up in a cozy little corner and let yourself be carried away...
This little ball of ethereal feathers is available everywhere, including on:

Mardi Gras Beads was featured in the the 33rd episode of Crown of Thorns Podârama, it is the second wedding theme I had to write for the soundtrack. I wanted it to echo the previous wedding theme, Fairy lights. Both titles refer to the main decoration described in the original text, which is a bit silly, but then again I did not want to call them âWedding theme #1â and âWedding theme #2â. Life as a composer is hard, yâall.
I use the same kind of âby the beachâ percussions for both pieces, but the cello in its lower register plays a central part in this one. Thereâs a bittersweet feeling to that music and then it gains momentum by featuring the main theme played on the cello.
That piece was written a while ago now, and itâs so strange... It feels like someone else wrote it. I donât exactly remember the process behind it. Must be my evil twin. That happens sometimes, but it makes me glad, cause Iâm quite proud of this theme. Means Iâm not so illegitimate as I sometimes think.

Mardi Gras Beads est apparu dans le 33e Ă©pisode de Crown of Thorns. Câest le second thĂšme de mariage que jâai Ă©cris pour cette bande originale. Je voulais quâil fasse lâĂ©cho au premier thĂšme de mariage, Fairy Lights. Les deux titres font rĂ©fĂ©rence Ă la dĂ©coration utilisĂ©e lors des cĂ©rĂ©monies, câest un peu idiot, mais je voulais Ă©viter dâappeler les musiques âMariage 1â et âMariage 2â. Câest dur, la vie de compositrice, dâabord.
Jâai Ă nouveau utilisĂ© des percussions qui font penser au bord de mer, mais le rĂŽle central est tenu par un violoncelle dans son registre grave. Lâambiance est douce-amĂšre et gagne de lâĂ©lan en incluant le thĂšme principal au violoncelle.
Ce morceau a Ă©tĂ© Ă©crit il y a quelques mois et câest trĂšs Ă©trange... Câest comme si quelquâun dâautre lâavait créé. Je ne me souviens pas bien du processus de composition. Peut-ĂȘtre est-ce un coup de ma jumelle malĂ©fique. Ăa arrive parfois, mais ça me fait plaisir, parce que je suis plutĂŽt fiĂšre de cette rĂ©alisation. Peut-ĂȘtre que je vaux quelque chose, en fin de compte.Â

On the 31st of May this year, we celebrated the 1st anniversary of the Good Omens TV show. The Crown of Thorns Podârama team prepared a treat for the occasion, a special episode featuring our dynamic duo... well, quartet, both from the TV show and our podcast.
For the occasion, I was asked (once again via a discord live chat session, with incredulous laughter on my part) to create a mash-up of the TV show opening theme with our own opening theme.
I never did that before. Hence, a slight panic.
I mean, I did write medleys for my dear geek choir Negitachi, but a mash-up is another story already! It means combining two pieces that may have nothing to do with each other, finding a common ground to make them exist at the same time. There were quite a few attempts at the very beginning that just did not work.
David Arnold composed a very whimsical piece with multiple modulations (it means the key changes throughout the piece, itâs like painting with a specific palette one part of your picture, and changing colours at some point). Itâs written like a lively waltz with a 3/4 signature. Iâm getting technical, sorry. It means that you can count the beats ONE-two-three ONE-two-three. My Limestone Cliffs theme is... quite far from that. Itâs simpler, much slower, it stays in its home key the whole time, and itâs written in 4/4.
The solution was to choose which piece would have the upper hand. I finally selected the TV theme, for it had a much stronger spirit. The piece would be fast and get that waltz feeling. The idea was to move it to the key of the Limestone Cliffs, to give the spotlight to my leitmotiv during the quietest part of the piece, and to feature my intruments of choice singing their usual part, just faster: a soprano singer, a cello, a piano and a nyckelharpa. The additions to that cast were some kind of harpsichord and a flute used to represent the TV show music.
So, do tell me, do you recognize the two pieces while listening?

Le 31 mai cette annĂ©e, nous cĂ©lĂ©brons le premier anniversaire de la sĂ©rie tĂ©lĂ©visĂ©e Good Omens. LâĂ©quipe du Podârama Crown of Thorns a prĂ©parĂ© une surprise pour lâoccasion, un Ă©pisode spĂ©cial oĂč se rencontre notre duo⊠ou plutĂŽt notre quatuor, nos anges de la sĂ©rie et du podcast.
Pour lâoccasion, on mâa demandĂ© (une fois de plus lors dâun chat vocal sur Discord, pour ma plus grande surprise ^^) de crĂ©er un mash-up du gĂ©nĂ©rique de la sĂ©rie et de notre propre gĂ©nĂ©rique.
Je nâai jamais fait ça. Ergo, une petite panique.
Jâai dĂ©jĂ arrangĂ© des medleys pour ma chĂšre chorale les Negitachi, mais un mash-up, câest une toute autre histoire! Cela signifie combiner deux morceaux qui nâont possiblement rien Ă voir lâun avec lâautre, leur trouver un terrain dâentente pour leur permettre dâexister au sein dâun mĂȘme moment musical. Il y a eu quelques essais ratĂ©s pour commencerâŠ
David Arnold a créé un thĂšme trĂšs original avec de multiples modulations (cela signifie changer de tonalitĂ© pendant le morceau, câest un peu comme peindre avec une palette de couleurs et changer en cours de travail sur un tableau). Il sâagit dâune valse enjouĂ©e Ă©crite en 3/4. DĂ©solĂ©e si ça devient un peu technique : cela signifie quâon peut compter les pulsations UN-deux-trois UN-deux-trois.
Mon Limestone Cliffs est⊠plutÎt différent. Il est plus simple, plus lent, reste dans sa tonalité tout du long et est écrit en 4/4.
La solution consistait Ă choisir quel morceau aurait la prĂ©sĂ©ance. Jâai finalement portĂ© mon choix sur le gĂ©nĂ©rique de la sĂ©rie, Ă cause de son caractĂšre plus franc. Le rĂ©sultat final serait rapide et aurait ce rythme de valse. LâidĂ©e Ă©tait de le dĂ©placer dans la tonalitĂ© de Limestone Cliffs, de mettre ma petite mĂ©lodie sur le devant de la scĂšne lors de la partie plus calme, et dâutiliser mes instruments caractĂ©ristiques pour jouer leurs parties, mais plus vite : une soprano, un violoncelle, un piano et une nyckelharpa. Au casting sâajoutent un genre de clavecin et une flĂ»te pour reprĂ©senter la sĂ©rie.
Alors, dites-moi, reconnaissez-vous les deux morceaux Ă lâĂ©coute ?
Asmosai was a tricky piece to write, mainly because of its structure. For most of my Crown of Thorns compositions, I was given a mood to cling to: the death of a character and the grief surrounding it, the bitter nostalgia of a memory, a beach wedding, the utter silliness of ducks...
For Asmodai, the directions got more precise: the piece had to illustrate a specific moment within the action of the chapter, the theater showdown. @irisbleufic was very helpful with their insight, giving me a precise explanation of their vision of that scene. If I may quote the last bit of information, it went like this: [STRETCH OF GROWING UNEASE] [SHARP/SHOCKING IMPACT OF THE ARROW] [STRETCH OF DANGEROUS SCUFFLE] [SHARP/SHOCKING IMPACT OF THE SWORD] [CLOSING STRECH/RESOLUTION FADING FROM ACTION TO SORROW/GRIEF].
A little behind the scenes for you ;)
Music-wise, the piano got the central role, not only because it is the central instrument of the soundtrack, but also because it is the only instrument of my knowledge capable of such violent yet powerful tonal shifts. I also used a hang drum, which I usually hate (we have a dark history, that instrument and I, if you ever worked atop Montmartre for more than a couple months, youâd understand), but which could contribute to the eerie, uneasy and metallic texture I wanted to get. You can also hear a light soundscape, at the beginning, and a very dramatic cello underlining the action.
Hope youâll like it!

Asmodai a prĂ©sentĂ© quelques challenges lors de sa composition, surtout Ă cause de sa structure. Pour la plupart de mes compositions pour Crown of Thorns, jâavais une ambiance, une Ă©motion Ă suivre : la mort dâun personnage et le deuil qui lâentoure, la nostalgie amĂšre dâun souvenir, un mariage sur la plage, des canards idiotsâŠ
Pour Asmodai, les instructions sont devenues plus prĂ©cises : le morceau devait illustrer un passage bien ciblĂ© Ă lâintĂ©rieur dâun chapitre, la confrontation au théùtre. irisbleufic mâa beaucoup aidĂ©e, me donnant des explications prĂ©cises du dĂ©roulĂ© de la scĂšne, une analyse de sa vision. Si je peux citer et traduire les derniĂšres indications, ça donnait : [PĂ©riode de malaise grandissant] [Impact aigu/choquant de la flĂšche] [PĂ©riode de dangereuse bagarre] [Impact fort/choquant de lâĂ©pĂ©e] [PĂ©riode de dĂ©nouement qui passe de lâaction Ă la tristesse et au deuil].
Un aperçu des coulisses pour vous ;)
Du cĂŽtĂ© de la musique, le piano a le premier rĂŽle. non seulement parce que câest lâinstrument principal du projet, mais aussi parce que câest le seul instrument Ă ma connaissance capable de changements dâhumeur aussi violents et puissants. Jâai aussi utililsĂ© un hang drum que je dĂ©teste ordinairement (jâai acquis une allergie sonore Ă cet instrument lorsque je bossais Ă Montmartre, si vous y avez passer plus de quelques semaines, vous comprendriez), mais qui pouvait contribuer Ă la texture inquiĂ©tante et mĂ©tallique que je voulais obtenir. Vous pouvez aussi entendre un soundscape assez discret, au dĂ©but du morceau, et un violoncelle trĂšs dramatique qui souligne lâaction.
JâespĂšre que ça vous plaira !

This piece was written for a trip that Crowley and Aziraphale make to Kyoto. I wanted to depict a peaceful and meditative landscape, and to reflect upon Crowleyâs sadness and fear of losing Aziraphale - even if the events he thinks of are not recent. The piece ended up with two parts: that bittersweet memory, first, and their love theme, last. The trick was to transpose the melody from the âLimestone cliffsâ and to merge it within that Kyoto piece.
The foundation of the track is actually a soundscape from Soniccouture titled âKyoto Rain Under Striplightsâ (within a collection called Haunted Spaces for those of you interested in the specifics). I was looking for inspiration while browsing my virtual instruments and that name jumped at me. I thought, why, itâs for a Kyoto piece, I have to use that soundscape. I also wanted to use Japanese instruments but finally chose a Chinese one, the Guzheng, to punctuate the overall texture.
So have a listen, and come with us to Kyoto for a while :)
--
Ce morceau a Ă©tĂ© Ă©crit pour illustrer le voyage de Crowley et Aziraphale Ă Kyoto. Je voulais dĂ©peindre un paysage paisible et contemplatif, et Ă©voquer la tristesse et la peur de Crowley lorsquâil croyait avoir perdu Aziraphale au dĂ©tour dâun sushi. Le morceau est composĂ© de deux parties : le souvenir doux-amer et le leitmotiv amoureux. Lâastuce Ă©tait de transposer la mĂ©lodie de âLimestone cliffsâ et de lâincorporer Ă ce morceau Ă propos de Kyoto.
Le morceau repose sur un soundscape de Soniccouture intitulé âKyoto Rain Under Striplightsâ (tirĂ© de la collection Haunted Spaces si vous voulez y jeter un Ćil et une oreille). Je cherchais lâinspiration dans mes banques dâinstruments et le nom de celui-ci mâa sautĂ© au visage. Pour un morceau Ă propos de Kyoto, jâĂ©tais obligĂ©e de lâutiliser. Je voulais aussi intĂ©grer des instruments japonais mais jâai finalement choisi le guzheng pour ponctuer la texture avec cette touche asiatique.
Ăcoutez donc le morceau et partez avec nous quelques minutes Ă Kyoto :)

You know, itâs not everyday that a composer is being asked to create a piece for ducklings. Really, itâs not. That happened over a voice-chat with the CotPod team, when I heard several giggling people rejoice in unison: âYes! A piece for the ducklings!â. To which I replied, âOkay. A piece for ducklings. Right. Of courseâ. And then proceed to panic.
As I said in a previous post, Iâm a melancholy kind of artist. Composing a light piece, a funny one on top of that, was one hell of a challenge. But thatâs the very precious part of this project to me: it makes me grow as a composer. I just had to research how to convey amusement and fun into music, and I have 8-bit Music Theory to thank for, especially their video about goofy chromatic notes in Paper Mario. That helped tremendously.
Apart from chromatic goofiness, the trick was to use a quick tempo, to keep it fairly simple (which is sometimes the hardest part, really), and to choose appropriate instruments. The marimba was once again a go-to for the main texture, because it does sound light and easy, but I wanted something a bit ridiculous, and the bassoon proved to be the ideal choice. When I incorporated it into the piece, I had the impression of introducing a big clumsy duck into the picture. And then I found the perfect, really, the perfect instrument to picture the ducklings. A piccolo, being played too loud with too much air, sounding awkward and silly. There. I had it.
For a few weeks, I even thought:Â âThere. This is my most brilliant piece. The most perfectly executed, the most coherent, the best I ever wrote. And itâs about fucking ducklings.â
This project is crazy. I love it.

Ăcoutez, câest pas tous les jours quâon demande Ă une compositrice de crĂ©er un morceau pour des canetons. Si, je vous jure. Câest arrivĂ© lors dâun chat vocal avec toute lâĂ©quipe du podcast. Jâai soudain entendu plusieurs personnes pouffer de rire et sâexclamer avec plaisir « Oui ! Un morceau pour les canetons ! ». Ce Ă quoi jâai rĂ©pondu : « Okay. Un morceau pour canetons. Dâaccord. Bien sĂ»r ». Et ensuite jâai paniquĂ©.
Comme je lâai dit dans un post prĂ©cĂ©dent, je suis du genre mĂ©lancolique, comme artiste. CrĂ©er un morceau lĂ©ger, et qui plus est drĂŽle, est un sacrĂ© challenge. Mais câest ce qui rend ce projet si prĂ©cieux Ă mes yeux, il me fait grandir en tant que compositrice. Il fallait juste que je fasse quelques recherches sur la maniĂšre dâĂ©voquer le comique dans la musique, et je dois remercier 8-bit Music Theory et sa video sur les notes chromatiques rigolotes dans Paper Mario. Elle fut dâune grande aide.
En plus du comique chromatique, lâastuce Ă©tait dâutiliser un tempo rapide, de garder le tout plutĂŽt simple (ce qui peut sâavĂ©rer le plus difficile, Ă vrai dire) et de choisir des instruments idoines. Jâai rĂ©utilisĂ© le marimba, parce que câest un instrument lĂ©ger et facile dâaccĂšs, mais je voulais quelque chose dâun peu ridicule, et le basson sâest rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© un choix idĂ©al. Quand je lâai incorporĂ© dans le morceau, jâavais lâimpression dây introduire un gros canard lourdaud. Et jâai ensuite trouvĂ© lâinstrument parfait, vraiment parfait, pour reprĂ©senter les canetons. Un piccolo, jouĂ© trop fort avec trop dâair, absurde et idiot. VoilĂ . Ăa y Ă©tait.
Pendant quelques semaines, je me suis mĂȘme dit : « VoilĂ . Câest mon morceau le plus incroyable. Le mieux exĂ©cutĂ©, le plus cohĂ©rent, le meilleur que jâai jamais Ă©crit. Et ça parle de putains de canetons. »
Ce projet est fou. Je lâadore.
 [In French below] As the 18th episode of the podrama was aired yesterday, I am also releasing the corresponding piece of the soundtrack. And today, it is a somewhat sad composition. Well, not somewhat. It is supposed to be sad.
Episode 18 (spoilers ahead!) deals with loss and the death of a character. Melancholy music comes usually easily to me, it part of my musical character I guess, so I just had to lean into that. The piano once again is taking the central role, as one of the instruments I use as a permanent fixture on the soundtrack (along with the nyckelharpa). The melody is shared between the right hand of the piano and a flute playing mostly in its medium to low register. That effect was not originally planned, the flute was just supposed to be a harmonic companion to the piano, but as always with creation, the instruments, the melodic lines, have a mind of their own. Anyway, I wanted to emphasize a fragile quality to the melodic line anyway, and the flute and piano (and its higher range) work perfectly in that sense.
If my memory serves me right, this is the first time for this soundtrack that Iâm using electronic instruments, in this case a low floaty pad to underline the bass line, and also a very nice broken clock patch. The idea behind that mechanical sound was to convey the idea of time passing, of ephemeral lives fading away.
Hope youâll like it!

Le 18e épisode du podcast a été publié hier, et me voilà à publier à mon tour le morceau correspondant à cet épisode, un morceau un peu triste.
LâĂ©pisode 18 traite (attention, divulgĂąchis) de la perte et de la mort dâun personnage. CrĂ©er des musiques mĂ©lancoliques me vient assez naturellement, il me suffisait dâaller dans cette direction. Le piano prend Ă nouveau le rĂŽle central, comme le fait la nyckelharpa dans dâautres morceaux. La mĂ©lodie est partagĂ©e par la main droite du piano et une flĂ»te utilisant son timbre medium, voire bas. Cet effet nâĂ©tait pas prĂ©vu initialement, la flĂ»te devait simplement ĂȘtre un accompagnement harmonique pour le piano, mais comme souvent, les instruments, les mĂ©lodies, ont leur propre volontĂ©. Dans tous les cas, je voulais souligner lâaspect fragile de cette mĂ©lodie, et la flĂ»te et le piano (dans ses aigus) fonctionnent trĂšs bien.
Si ma mĂ©moire ne me joue pas des tours, câest la premiĂšre fois pour ce projet que jâutilise des instruments Ă©lectroniques, dans ce cas prĂ©cis un pad un peu flou pour doubler la ligne de basse, et aussi un trĂšs chouette sample dâhorloge cassĂ©e. LâidĂ©e derriĂšre ce son mĂ©canique Ă©tait dâĂ©voquer le passage du temps, les vies Ă©phĂ©mĂšres qui sâenfuient.
JâespĂšre que ça vous plaira !

(In French below, letâs mix things up!)
The third piece I composed for Crown of Thorns podârama was aired today, and I wanted to talk about it, as I did for the two previous ones.
Garden Scythe Of Fire was my very first attempt at writing epic music, and I am particularly proud of its title (itâs ridiculous, I love it) as well as one of the first reactions on the Discord of the project when someone told me something like: âit sounds like a boss battle themeâ. Victory!
Thing is, I do not know yet how to write complete orchestral music. The sheer size of an orchestra is still frightening to me, and I just canât bring myself to start something so ambitious. It will come, in time, but for now Iâm a bit too shy.
But, see, the word of order for all these pieces Iâm writing is intimacy, not pomposity, so the challenge was now to write epic music, without a whole orchestra. Something that would reach the listener without being too loud or grandiose.
So, to tackle that battle piece - to symbolize the beach showdown between Aziraphale, Crowley, Uriel, Raphael versus Michael (a battle between angels!) - I simply started with a piano. I wanted something fast-paced, where the rhythm would be more important than a melody.
When producing the track, the piano was evidently not enough. So I brought in mighty percussions, very resonant (but placed âawayâ in the mix) hits that would ring throughout the main parts. The gravity of the scene would be represented by very low double basses underlining the harmony (and speeding up in tremolos when necessary). For the more quiet phases, my dear and sweet nyckelharpa arrives, like an afterthought, to complete the sound of the piano. I love how - if you listen very closely - you can hear the mechanism of that instrument hitting like a little percussion, but not quite.
All in all, Iâm very happy with the piece. Iâm forcing myself not to hear the imperfections, and Iâm very glad this project gives me opportunity to hone my skills.

Le troisiĂšme morceau que jâai composĂ© pour le podcast Crown of Thorns a Ă©tĂ© diffusĂ© aujourdâhui, et je voulais en parler, comme je lâai fait pour les deux piĂšces prĂ©cĂ©dentes.
Garden Scythe Of Fire Ă©tait ma toute premiĂšre tentative de morceau Ă©pique, et je suis particuliĂšrement fiĂšre du titre (ridicule, câest formidable) et de lâune des premiĂšres rĂ©actions sur le Discord du projet oĂč quelquâun mâa dit quelque chose comme « on dirait une musique de boss de fin ». Victoire !
Mais voilĂ , je ne sais pas Ă©crire de la musique orchestrale. La simple taille de lâorchestre, la multiplicitĂ© des instruments, ça mâeffraie. Je nâarrive pas Ă me lancer. Ăa viendra, un jour ou lâautre, mais pour le moment, nope.
La bonne nouvelle, câest que le mot dâordre pour tous ces morceaux est lâintimitĂ©, pas le spectaculaire, donc le challenge, câĂ©tait en fait dâĂ©crire une musique Ă©pique sans un orchestre entier. Quelque chose qui toucherait lâauditeur sans ĂȘtre trop large et grandiose.
Ainsi, pour Ă©crire ce thĂšme de combat - le symbole de lâaffrontement entre Aziraphale, Crowley, Uriel, Raphael et Michael (un combat dâanges !) - jâai simplement commencĂ© avec un piano. Je voulais quelque chose de rapide, oĂč le rythme serait plus important quâune mĂ©lodie.
Lors de la crĂ©ation du morceau, le piano nâĂ©tait Ă©videmment pas suffisant. Jây ai ajoutĂ© de puissantes percussions, trĂšs rĂ©sonnantes (mais placĂ©es « loin » dans le mix) et percutantes, qui sonneraient dans toutes les parties principales. La gravitĂ© de la scĂšne serait reprĂ©sentĂ©e par de profondes lignes de contrebasses qui soulignent lâharmonie (et elles sâaccĂ©lĂšrent en trĂ©molos quand câest nĂ©cessaire). Pour les phases plus calmes, ma chĂšre et tendre nyckelharpa montre le bout de son nez pour complĂ©ter le son du piano. Jâadore le fait que - si vous tendez lâoreille - on peut entendre le mĂ©canisme des touches de lâinstrument jouer une petite percussion, discrĂšte et presque involontaire.
En fin de compte, je suis trĂšs contente de ce morceau. Je me force Ă ne pas entendre les imperfections, et je suis trĂšs contente que ce projet me permette de me perfectionner.
English below!
Jâen ai dĂ©jĂ parlĂ© prĂ©cĂ©demment, je compose la musique pour un projet formidable qui sâappelle âCrown Of Thorns Podâramaâ, une lecture vivante dâune fanfiction extraordinaire du fandom Good Omens.
Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur le projet et obtenir tous les liens qui vont bien, je vous renvoie vers https://crownofthornspod.tumblr.com/
Et câest lâheure de vous parler de la deuxiĂšme composition que jâai rĂ©alisĂ©e. Elle sâintitule Fairy Lights, en rĂ©fĂ©rence Ă une dĂ©coration mise en place pour le mariage de deux personnages - Adam (le gentil antĂ©christ de lâĆuvre originale) et Sophia (un personnage inventĂ© par lâautrice).
Pour ce morceau, les instructions Ă©taient de composer une musique pour un mariage de bord de mer. Je voulais Ă la fois un ton lĂ©ger, joyeux et serein, et trouver les ingrĂ©dients qui donneraient lâimpression dâĂȘtre Ă la plage.
Le choix a Ă©tĂ© rapide, ce serait un marimba qui fournirait la texture principale, sur un rythme de valse. Sây joignent un peu plus tard quelques percussions acoustiques, du genre de celles quâon pourrait jouer autour dâun feu de camp, le soir, au bord de mer...
La nyckelharpa fait son retour, Ă la façon dâun violoncelle langoureux, pour nous bercer gentiment. Une voix angĂ©lique lâaccompagne, rĂ©pĂ©tant les mots âamor aeternusâ : amour Ă©ternel. Jâaimais lâidĂ©e de paroles en latin, pour faire un peu penser Ă la religion chrĂ©tienne, mais surtout pour marteler le sujet, lâamour !
JâespĂšre que ça vous plaira !

I have already posted about this, I am composing the soundtrack for a fantastic project called âCrown Of Thorns Podâramaâ, a reading of an extraordinary fanfiction from the Good Omens fandom.
If you want to know more about the project and get the links to listen to it, please head to https://crownofthornspod.tumblr.com/
And itâs time to talk about the second composition I made. Its title is Fairy Lights, in reference to an wedding ornament for... well. A wedding. Adamâs (the lovely antichrist from the original book) and Sophiaâs (a new character the author created).
For this piece, the instructions were to create a music for a seaside wedding. I wanted a light, happy and serene ambiance, and I needed to find the proper ingredients to remind the listener of a stroll by the sea.
The choice was fast, it would be a marimba as the main texture, with a waltz tempo. Some acoustic percussions join it later, the kind you could easily hear around a campfire, on the beach.
The nyckelharpa makes a comeback, playing the role of a velvety cello, to rock us gently. An angelic voice accompanies it, repeating the words âamor aeternusâ : eternal love. I liked the idea of Latin lyrics, to make the listener think of Christian religions, but above all to hammer in the main subject: love!
I hope you enjoy it!
