Arnaud Quevedo & Friends (AQ&F) – 2nd Life (2023)

🇫🇷 This extravagant collective opens a door into a new world. It’s possibly a completely new life, as the album’s title indicate.

This world is rich in beautiful moments and graceful constructions as well. Thanks to the voice of Eloïse Baleynaud, the compositions are blossoming in the brightest colors. On the other hand, the musicians led by the maestro Arnaud Quevedo unveil the laws of imagination.

The story is starting with “Awakening”, elegant dulcet rock with jazzy improvisations followed by progressive guitar parties closer to the end of the firs piece. Further on, the music is constantly surfing from milder melodies to intensified avant-garde experimentations and back.

As one can notice, the author cares a lot about numbers, whether when it comes to parts, versions or other logical matters. For instance, you’ll find four parts of the main theme, aligned and organized in specific order.
