SID€SHOW 2
Louis de Mieulle
Circus freak-jazz reverie interpolating emotional counterpoints, ambient synth-hop, and disjointed dissonant riffs.
This second Sidshow concept album tells the story of a tormented Two-Headed Kid, a bellicose Giant Fly, and an adorable Dwarf Elephant. The intermission act presents the classic crowd-pleaser Bed of Snails.
Two keyboardists alternate
Circus freak-jazz reverie interpolating emotional counterpoints, ambient synth-hop, and disjointed dissonant riffs.
This second Sid€show concept album tells the story of a tormented Two-Headed Kid, a bellicose Giant Fly, and an adorable Dwarf Elephant. The intermission act presents the classic crowd-pleaser Bed of Snails.
Two keyboardists alternate dreamy and nightmarish soundscapes over steady yet intricate drum/bass loops. Four musicians improvising live arrangements of character pieces.
Another chapter in Louis' post-Canterbury neoclassical fusion.
