Art Rock Show – Gerald Massois – Demain a l’aube (Week 18)

Gerald Massois is een multi-instrumentalist, componist en arrangeur gespecialiseerd in symfonische progressieve rock. Zijn muziek combineert complexe arrangementen, orkestrale invloeden en een mix van akoestische en elektrische instrumenten om evocatieve en conceptgedreven composities te creëren. Geïnspireerd door diverse muziekstijlen creëert Gerald Massois werken die de diepgang en het verhaal weerspiegelen die vaak worden geassocieerd met de traditie van symfonische prog.

ProgRadio review: “After seven years of meticulous crafting, French multi-instrumentalist Gérald Massois presents Demain à l’aube, an album that seamlessly blends progressive rock storytelling with cinematic grandeur. As the second installment of a trilogy, it delves into the poignant tale (with French lyrics) of two brothers caught in the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War, weaving historical depth with emotional resonance.

Massois’s intricate compositions strike a compelling balance between the intimate and the epic. Tracks such as “Une colline sans nom” and the title piece, “Demain à l’aube,” showcase sweeping orchestration paired with moments of quiet reflection. Notably, the album features three stunning epics, each in the 14 to 16-minute range (“Une colline sans nom,” “Demain à l’aube,” and “La Bataille de l’Ebre Pt1 & 2″), which are masterclasses in dynamic progression, emotional storytelling, and symphonic grandeur. (…)

The result is a body of work that feels cohesive and intentional, a testament to Massois’s artistry and dedication. Demain à l’aube isn’t just an album—it’s a journey through time, memory, and human connection.”
