4 la Cérémonie des origines, “ORIGINES“ - Jean-Paul Dub

EN “La Cérémonie des Origines“ is the first extract from my album “ORIGINES“ (Jean-Paul Dub) which will be released on July 14, 2020 on the Vaticaen Production label. As the cover and the title suggest, I wonder in music about the roots of great civilizations but also about their downfalls. Many peplums were sampled for the occasion: The Egyptian (Michael Curtiz, 1954), the History of Ruth (Henry Koster, 1960) or the famous Moses (Cecil Blount DeMille, 1956) but also, in another style, the terrifying and necessary Salo or the 120 days of Sodom (1975) by Pasolini. The Hollywood vision of Antiquity, notably through dialogues, offers an inexhaustible source of inspiration in and inevitably gives a cinematic dimension to this project. The album consists of 9 tracks and an animation clip drawn and produced by me. The atmosphere is at first rather melancholy and disturbing mixing stepper bass, drums trap, samples of piano and violin to then gently slide into a more reggae roots spirit with the intervention of Meïss
