about

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 the spontaneity of the imagination and storytelling.

DRIFTING, ALMOST FALLING.: I find it hard to put my finger on the music of Jules as it tends to flirt on different directions, but steers clear of most. I guess experimental/ drone/electroacoustic is as close as you will get while still being miles off the mark.

SOWHAT: Utilizzando un’ampia combinazione di suoni derivanti da fonti diverse, Jules ci conduce attraverso placide visioni permeate di onirico afflato che emerge prepotente.
