I stole the title of this album from William Shakespeare (from The Tempest, if I remember well). I thought it poetic and inspiring, and it was enough to start to dream around it.

Then came the idea of a life journey, from birth to death, based on a metaphor of a day - from dawn to twilight.

(Not an original idea : Vangelis, for instance, had the same in The City.)

​

And, well, that was the whole thing.

​

The main interest of this record is the first use I made of a new keyboard, Yamaha PSR-510, which offered me very exciting and new opportunities - as sound effects (delay, reverb...), sequences and drums programming, added to more power.

​

A bit too powerful, maybe, because the sound rendition is a bit spoiled. My recording settings were too loud, and drums often gets too much distorsion.

It's listenable, but it sounds really amateur.

(Which means you won't hear anything of it.)

​

Otherwise, music has its ups and downs. "The last judgement" is terribly poor, "melody of hearts" is weak.

"The winds of heaven" is much more interesting, as it is played live from the start to the end, with a few programmations that I launched while playing. Eleven minute-long of half improvisation which works pretty well.

​

I realized two important things with this album.

First, I had nothing interesting to tell yet within the Digital Project.

Secondly, I tried out Yamaha PSR-510 and started to learn how it worked. Its strengths and its weaknesses. Really useful to avoid annoying mistakes and succeed in my next project (and return to solo career) : Cécilian.
