Records were not released or were thrown away right after they were made. A publisher decided to release “Le Cercle Rouge” on a collection distributed by Pierre Cardin. Afterwards, she asked me to do everything I wanted on a record in the Cardin collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI produced a music based on a book called “La Pierre et le Diamant” (Stone \u0026amp; Diamond). The concept was an encounter between stone and diamond, with the diamond ending up being stronger than the stone. Something mental back then (we used to smoke a lot!). Based on that story, I used measures decomposition through time. I did not want to make a dancing record. I started on a specific tempo, broke it sharply and did it again and again like in an oratorio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe publisher from Cardin Label called it “Pop Symphony” and asked me to find an anglo-saxon name so that it would sell better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe recorded Pop Symphony in the Europa Sonor studio, rue de la Gaîté in Paris. We used a bronté, an extraordinary instrument which name comes from the ancient greek word for thunder. It is a 3 meters high metal cone-shaped instrument underneath which we installed a marimba we played with mallets or a bow. This amazing reverb created sounds that we can nowadays reproduce through digital effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSadly, the studio went bankrupt shortly after the recording. “Pop Symphony”’s tapes were taken and stored into a furniture that burned afterwards. Everything went up in smoke … “\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wonderful album is being reissued on the EURO-VISIONS label. Thanks to it’s connections, the label got the approval of Pierre Cardin to re edit it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Euro-Visions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36310598713500,"sku":"EURO11","price":18.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/JasonHavelock-PopSymphony.jpg?v=1601668692","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/jason-havelock-pop-symphony","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
