  • Philippe Petit & Friends: A Scent Of Garmambrosia
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Format: 2xCD (Comes with a bonus live CD featuring Philippe Petit with Perceval Bellone )


    "Post-Classical" soundtrack FOR FANS OF Kronos Quartet – David Lynch – Philip Jeck – The Boxhead Ensemble - Murcof – Spaceheads...


    Using orchestral strings, vanguard soundscapes and collected field recordings,Philippe Petit’s A Scent of Garmambrosia takes us into a dense, cinematic world that mixes acoustic instrumentation with digital filtering, swaying and unfolding amid the psycho-film-noir syntax of a Lynchean universe.

    The album continues Petit’s investigations into the boundaries of extant, contemporary scoring through the lens of modern cinema. These ideas were initiated in his album Henry: The Iron Man (Beta Lactam Ring Records) and continued with "Fiends With A Face" his duo with James Johnston (Dirter Promotion).
    A Scent of Garmambrosia’s departure point is David Lynch’s groundbreaking series Twin Peaks, where Lynch defines the word Garmonbozia as “pain and suffering that is consumed,” and seems to be either a food or type of drug for the lodge inhabitants.
    In ancient Greek mythology, Ambrosia is the food and drink of the gods that confers immortality upon whoever consumes it.
    Thus, Petit’s Garambrosia is a sonic hybrid of the two—a nectar that contains the agonies of both humanity and deity.

about

Philippe Petit: a musical travel-agent Marseille, France

Interested in soundtracks even if I create original music I'd rather be introduced as a "musical travel agent" than a composer.

Since 2000 I have been playing all over the world...
Feeling lucky to release on several international labels such as Aagoo, Southern UK, Monotype, Alrealon Musique, Beta Lactam Ring, Sub Rosa, HomeNormal, Important, HelloSquare, Public Eyesore, Utech, Staubgold, etc...
