Liner notes:

Themes is an album that compiles some music I composed and recorded for different audio-visual projects (theatre, music libraries, documentaries, TV).  20 tracks have been released in 2013.

These compositions are instrumental songs, like old-style themes, with chord changes and melodies.
Some are commissions, some others are compositions I was keeping for an eventual solo record (that I’ve just started recording, more here), but instead of reworking them I decided to recoup all these tracks in this new collection because I really like the actual themes as they are. No focus on development or performance here (solos, introductions, codas, improvisation) like I used to do in my albums, I decided to keep the bare song, in many cases just the melody exposition.

Just plain themes.

Thanks, love

DD, Paris, 2013.
