Title: Paris in the Spring - Orion (new album out now April 2023)
Post by: Zantera on May 27, 2013, 07:18:46 AM
Hello, fellow DTFers.

About 3 months ago I started working on making my own music, just for doing something fun. My first idea was to make one album for each season of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and make all different from each other, both musically and different influences, etc. Anyhow, I released my first album a few weeks ago, which is the Spring-album. I'm currently working on the Summer-album, which is progressing very nicely, and should be out in June-July, depending on when I get happy with it. Most of the songs are already done.

But to get back to the album I already have out, it's called Bright Lights and has 6 songs on it. About 30 minutes of running time, and it's mainly a mixture of Post-Rock and Ambient, and my idea is that all the upcoming albums will have slightly different sounds and influences on them, but all be around the 30 minute mark with 6 songs.

(https://f0.bcbits.com/img/a1153860655_2.jpg)

1. Beach Party 04:44
2. Paris in the Spring 05:00
3. Efflorescence 02:36
4. Summer Nights 04:40
5. Waves 02:32
6. Bright Lights 09:16



The name for the project comes from a song by the band Amplifier, both because it's an amazing song, but also because I felt it had that atmosphere I was going for with the music.

Check it out here: https://parisinthespring.bandcamp.com/ (you can also download it free from here, if you prefer listening on the computer)

Cheers! :)

Cool stuff, I can definitely hear the spring vibe! :tup The name of the project is pretty similar to a Finnish pop group called Pariisin Kevät (Spring of Paris) but I can already say that your music is more pleasant for my ears than that band :P

I feel like you should pull back the drums presence a bit and let the guitar take the lead. I'm liking it though  :tup

Update since I finished my second album:

(https://f0.bcbits.com/img/a1329851113_2.jpg)

01. Last Morning of July (6:48)
02. Paris in the Summer (4:29)
03. Campfire Stories (3:33)
04. I Sat by the Ocean (2:19)
05. Sunset Paradise (3:41)
06. Beyond the Sea (9:21)

Another bump!
Just uploaded my third album on bandcamp.

Into the Forest

(https://f0.bcbits.com/img/a2190740830_2.jpg)

01. Falling Leaves (3:54)
02. Paris in the Fall (4:58)
03. March of the Goblins (3:40)
04. Pumpkin Harvest (4:06)
05. Cerulean Twilight (2:36)
06. Into the Forest (9:24)


This one is more orchestral, classical and minimalistic than the previous albums. So a different vibe, but I think the "core" in the sound is still there.  :)

Thought I would update:

Okay, so the fourth and final album for this concept is out now, just uploaded it: https://parisinthespring.bandcamp.com/album/fade-into-oblivion (https://parisinthespring.bandcamp.com/album/fade-into-oblivion)

I would say probably the most diverse one so far. There's drone, noise, some post-rock, some electronic stuff (both more ambient and something similar to Necro Deathmort for example) and METAL. Basically something for everyone. There's a lot of guitar feedback as well, one of my main ideas for the album was having just that, so I'm glad the way the opening track and the title-track ended up.

Fade Into Oblivion
(https://f0.bcbits.com/img/a0208705198_2.jpg)

01. Throat of the World (6:00)
02. Paris in the Winter (5:03)
03. Arctic Winds (3:51)
04. Falling Snow (3:41)
05. Destroyer of Worlds (2:19)
06. Fade Into Oblivion (9:11)

Just a little update. Today I just released my seventh album, called "The Stars in the Sky are Distant Cities on Fire", a 2 hour double album. It's essentially an ambient/drone album in the spirit of Stars of the Lid, mainly focusing on minimalism. I'm also working on new material that will be more in the spirit of progressive rock, but more on that later.

5. Requiem For Dying Sisters (Part II) (9:01)
6. They Don't Sleep Anymore on the Beach (2:22)
7. Red Mist Over Open Fields (6:49)
8. The Stars in the Sky are Distant Cities on Fire (16:01)

CD2:

2. Industrial City/Grey Harbour (3:37)
3. London (10:01)

He, not quite metty. It actually translates to Spring in Paris, but yeah, it's close.

Also, I've said it before, but I really love Into the Forest. Soooo good. :tup

I know my music might not be everyone's cup of tea around here, but the new material I have started working on so far has a little bit more of a prog feel. I'm aiming to make a progressive rock album next, with maybe some elements of jazz. We'll see how it progresses, but if it turns out the way I want it to, it might be more interesting for some people here. :)

Post by: Zantera on June 28, 2015, 02:46:02 AM
Time for a new album bump!
This time it's not ambient, but I went back to my signature sound, I feel like this album has more of a metal (and maybe even prog) edge to it, and the result is:

Paris in the Spring - The Light Between Oceans
(https://f1.bcbits.com/img/a1462481528_16.jpg)

1. Subsume (07:33)
2. Whiplash (3:50)
3. Windwalker (7:12)
4. Doubt (2:49)
5. Faith (6:31)
6. Salvation (4:13)
7. The Light Between Oceans (10:40)


You can check it out (even download it for free) over at:
https://parisinthespring.bandcamp.com/album/the-light-between-oceans

have a nice day,
/cheers

or wait a week or two and it will pop up on the Spotify :>

Awesome album. I've had a few listens and I really like the atmosphere, the themes and the instrumentation. Probably my favourite of your albums - Into the Forest and Fade Into Oblivion are the only ones that really come close imo.

Keep up the good work!

Title: Re: Paris in the Spring - "Paris is Burning EP" - September, 2015
Post by: Zantera on September 27, 2015, 06:50:46 AM
Paris is Burning is my new 5 song EP, and possibly the final release under this moniker. I have been toying around with different software lately and been creating some music with a totally different feel to it, and moving forward my focus will be on a brand new project (as of now untitled) where I will be putting out releases. It also feels like a good time to close the book on PITS, maybe not permanently, but at least for the foreseeable future.

Paris is Burning follows in the footsteps of another album I made called "The Stars in the Sky are Distant Cities on Fire", and the ~20 minute EP consists of Ambient/Drone music.

Paris in the Spring - Paris is Burning EP
(https://f1.bcbits.com/img/a2469570326_16.jpg)

1. We Fell From the Sky (02:32)
2. Paris is Burning (03:24)
3. Escape (03:15)
4. City Disappearing (03:28)
5. Swan Song (07:16)

Atlas is out now! It's more of an ambient album than The Light Between Oceans was, but also incorporates some other familiar elements of PitS like Indie Rock and some Electronica/Drum n Bass.

Paris in the Spring - Atlas
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0581928085_16.jpg)

1. Echoes (4:16)
2. Voyager (4:20)

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBgQS4e_zfECyqN_v0c3IbQ
(going up on Youtube shortly and Spotify in a week or two)

It's pretty much a straight up ambient album, so very minimalist and probably decent music while you're vacuuming or doing other things. :)
Title: Re: Paris in the Spring - Ukiyo (Nov 2016)
Post by: Skeever on November 18, 2016, 06:09:16 PM
Really enjoying this a lot. For some reason I find it more accessible and evocative than your other purely ambient albums. Not sure if it's a change in your process or something else, but this one feels warmer and more like it has a "human touch". Definitely more of an experiential vibe to this one, I like it a lot.

It's been a slow year both because of the pandemic but also on a personal level I've been through the turmoil of losing a job, the depression that followed and then getting a new job and trying to find a balance of using my time well. Hopefully in 2022 I can make more music at a better pace. :)

Jeez, where have I been the last decade? :(

This is excellent stuff, my man. I’ve been listening for the last hour, and I’m pretty blown away.

Love that you’ve been so prolific (I’ve battled debilitating self doubt for years)

I just followed you on Bandcamp and plan to listen more.

Thanks so much for sharing!

I loosely call this the green album but it's intended as the first in a new series of albums, in the spirit of my first 4 albums (6 songs/30 mins each) but instead of doing the theme with different seasons of the year, this will be more of a basic 'every album is represented by a color and a different style' sort of deal. This album made me embrace that sort of 80s synthwave style that I've been a fan of for a while but never quite explored. A band like M83 or an artist like Tycho kinda inspired me. :)

Hey all! Happy easter and I hope you will all have a great holiday.

Just released my new album called Orion, sort of a follow up to my last album Andromeda but while it has some thematic connections it's very much a different beast.
Andromeda was very synth pop influenced and I drew from bands and artists like M83, Grimes and Tycho (among others) but for this new one Orion I took things in a bit of a metal direction.
I listened to a lot of Megadeth, Anthrax, Vektor, Strapping Young Lad (and Devin) and Slayer (among others) and while this isn't pure 100% thrash metal it's definitely bringing some metal elements into the mix.

Anyway check it out if you're curious. :)
