Thank you B.D Thomas. I admit that I chose harmonies that I don't usually use.

Very, very cinematic!

It is an epic sound and, man, you did a great job mixing all those tracks.

Exceptionally creative and we much enjoyed it!

Terrible! The bass, the electric piano and the synths...
Wow, that's really beautiful work. I'm 100% behind it. And the visuals, what an epic. It's magnificent!
And the electric guitar at 1:50, beautiful solo. And the sax at 2:25. A pure marvel

I enjoyed this, it has a sound very much like what the CTI label was offering back in the 1970s. Great work!

Tout cela reste pour moi un amusement et un défi. Band in a box est un jouet merveilleux. Rien que d'écouter certaines pistes, je me régale.

Really nice work Laurent! That guitar has a real Jeff Beck tone to it, and the composition has a straight up Jeff Beck feel straight out of his 70s- 80s epic era.

Niiiiice!!

Laurent,

This is truly avant-garde fusion music.
I think it's a wonderful mix of jazz fusion and avant-garde jazz.
I like your French-style works, but this kind of work is also fun.
The only thing I didn't quite understand was the association with knighthood.
But I really enjoyed watching the video.
And of course the music.

Best regards.

Thank you very much Shigeki for the comments. The style is called avant garde and it made me think of knighthood .
