ADVENTURES & EXPLORATIONS (VOLUME 1) is the first chapter of the Jules's journeys, starting with his first trip and following with an imaginative diving in an oriental landscape. The concept of the album is developed with the intention of keep free every stylistic choice of the project. Jules also decided to leave the product slightly dirty and unfinished.
Imagined like a musical diary of a young adventurer, Adventures & Explorations (Volume 1), is also an attempt to re-insert, in the ambient music, elementary structures of the pop music.

JULES is a new anonymous project. Through the use of different kind of technologies, instruments and attitudes, the project aims to create a mysterious and fantastic author, called Jules, who will propose to the listeners a dreaming atmosphere and persona far from reality, living in exotic and non-existent spatiotemporal dimensions. Jules is the spontaneity of the imagination and storytelling.
