... au pays des Bantous, la nuit et le jour marchent la main dans la main... P.M. nous offre un voyage qui semble confirmer cette Légende. En effet nous passons de l'ombre à la lumière, de bras Orientaux aux bras de Morphée, magie, tours de passe passe, tous les effets spéciaux sont réunis pour nous perdre dans l'espace, oublier le temps passé et qui passe, et revenir à l'unité de l'être et du temps qui n'a aucune importance puisque la nuit et le jour portent en eux l'éternité. Face à cette magie si bien exprimée par Demolay et P.M., nous ne pouvons que saluer bien bas nos deux compagnons de voyage...
Merci et Bravo !
In the art scene, there are many speeches that mediate a rigor that will improve the circumstances that there is culture. However, they are rather rare artists who apply these speeches in the course of their work, in the form of producing and / or in the way of standing up to the channels through the same circle.
However, the scene of criticism not only exists, but there are several associations working in a more or less silent slumber, and one of them has used to disseminate a brief and equally bland "code of art" that summarizes himself in one sentence: . That is, Pierre, you are free and independent..
Insomnia, like all works of its author, can be heard as a witness to the advent of solitude. It can also be seen as one of the first approaches to hyper-realism and musical as the return of modern art.
Or it can be, as the poet, such as creating a unique space that merely read through strategies that may be musical notes but also in that those who read and hear can be delivered to the melancholy.
In INSOMNIA, we are suspended between two imperatives that governed by the trapeze a musical prospect (which is the center of the mind), urging us to move forward, and the other dominated by the image of the doubt in the middle of the night an unsafe place, dark, where you do not want to stay. " Hence, he says, the great sadness of the work: and we should not leave because it invites us to stay.
Pierre-Marie Coédes, a philosopher of music. Each Track is a scene depicted is an image that we all spend way in which we can intervene even awaken our curiosity. "We can only observe those special moments from a respectful distance."
Insomnia is the question without reason is to realize the power of the mind itself, may involve all knowledge to assume the dimension in the subject, and Pierre do it achieves a masterly manner.
For those who like the music of Pierre-Marie, Insomnia, represents a significant incorporation of the human being on stage.
It is noteworthy that takes creative liberty with of excellent character as musical exponent. The repertoire of this album has been chosen in solemnity and sweetness result for music lovers.
Pierre Thanks brother for allowing me to be part of your work is an honor
that which appeared reverently to you.
Thank you so much....

. . .. a little dark and lonely,
moody . . . this music
to accompany
the circular thoughts that follow
the insomniac
through those long oppressive hours. . .
the music of the spirits
that walk,
creaking down the shadowy
ways, unknown. . .
unseen by the sleepless . . .
those facing nocturnal places
alone . . .
accompanied only
by the breathing dead. . .
a white rose glows in the night,
shining scentless through the
window pane . . .
a cold reminder of the departed day . . .
an icy breath from a breathing house .. .
strokes the flesh of the living ..
and a wane glow . .. pearlescent and dewy
appears over the horizon to inspire sleep
at the break of day . . .
The music is lovely . . . monumental even with a slight discord that resonates with the understanding of the soul who has kept countless moments in the small hours of the morning . . . wondering why sleep will not come . . . the feeling of loneliness and of being the only living creature on the face of the earth, kept company only by the endless thoughts that abuse the mind . . . its not the happiest time to go through . . . and this music expresses much of these feelings clearly. A very nice dedication to Henry . . . congratulations . . .
Insomnia...it can be either curse..or a given cure..depending on your out look....and they way you look at it....as for some strange people...and geniuses...it is .when their creative juices...and they over flowing with wisdom..creativity and style...as in their bouts of deep insomnia....they find... comfort,simulations and informative eureka moments and facts..that they make great use off...as these wild and exotic, moments of creative juices ...are over flowing and bursting to come forth within their minds... and hearts.....and they are on a wild euphoric peak.....and when they have crack what they wanted..they are fulfilled and happy.... and very content and fall asleep soon afterwards...
as they made use.... of those many long,hard and productive.. hours.and days.of insomnia and then when they find the reasons why they can not sleep..they solve and unravel.. the threads, within their minds..and solve and produce and make..and create..to the max..
and on the other side..it can tear and rip you apart, and make you feel anxious, angry, exhausted and bad and irritable.......and even make you crazy..as all you wish and want...to do.... is just sleep..but the more you think and dream about it..the less you can...sleep..you are haunted by day dreams..that torture you and make you feel strange and powerless...
The beauty of art, music included, is not always nor necessarily, directly related to the most common definition of the word. And moreover, considering that as a concept, beauty has a lot of different possible interpretations and associations. Different notions and concepts, can legitimately be associated to beauty, if for no other reason, on the account of all the individual tastes and sensibilities. And even some apparently contradictory notions can be merged... like sadness and loneliness... when we remember of good moments we had with someone that is no longer near by, for example. The attraction of the opposite, dwells in our imaginary mainly because of an inevitable comparison with the most extreme parentheses of existence as we know it... birth and death.
And if those apparently extreme happenings are involved in mystery, a lot of other that occur in between then, are not less mysterious or of difficult comprehension and acceptance. Sometimes, we even have the notion of what the prepositions are but, even though, no effective solution is available in all our logical and knowledge assumptions.
Music and art in general, have a tendency to explore these somehow obscure fields to search for some identification, transmit and captivate our interest, through all the fascination, it inevitably exercises over us. Generally speaking, insomnia is an incapacity for falling or staying asleep... but it's way more than simply "just" that, as there are an immensity of possible reasons to consider responsible, in a first instance, for that disturbance. And are all those obscure paintings created by our own minds, on the account of all the known difficulties and other unknown fears from day life, which inflate and populate the imaginary of different artists as well of many ordinary people. Then there's all the inferences and associations we make to the night itself, that can stimulate our minds to some very painful, even masochist exercises if we don't assume the control eventually.
This work, explores quite well all the obscurity and ambiguity of the insomnia. The search for any idea of beauty in the theme, is here explored in association with other concepts, like loneliness, disquietude and even fear, so a mysterious environment, even dramatic, acts effectively as a stimulating factor of our musical curiosity... and satisfaction quest. Therefore, the seemingly contradictory functioning. The production quality of the work is irrefutable, but by itself don't explains the attraction it exerts over us. The recognized source of inspiration... and the personal trials, must have had a major role, in the capability demonstrated, of building such an appellative and verisimilar relation with the theme. And there's all the ability and capability of the musician, of course.
So, congratulations on another inspired and inspirational musical production.
Grande Compositore...a me piace questo album, ma la produzione è infinita...basta "sfogliarla"....meglio approffittare..
Bardzo dobry album.

Estro, cultura musicale, senso dell'equilibrio tra le parti, libertà assoluta nel giocare tra squarci avanguardistici e topoi della tradizione popolare.
Una miscela sublime.
