***The meeting of such unconventional musicians was always going to result in a pretty incredible piece of work, but confronting such strong identities and getting them to work together was not a given. For the past three years,PHILIPPE PETIT and FERNANDO CORONA have regularly played live together, undoubtedly refining their collaboration with each new performance and finding the right balance between their respective sound worlds. The result is this album which equally finds its roots in MURCOF’s modern classical influences and Petit’s coarse post modernist soundscaping. The album may barely reach the forty minute mark, but in the space of three tracks, Corona and Petit create a magnificent soundtrack which teems with haunting choral chants, lush strings from Greek mythology for "The Call Of Circé," daughter of Helios and powerful enchantress, and winged divine horse "Pegasus," or from Nordic tales of giant squid-like sea monsters on "The Summoning Of The Kraken." This very much characterises the epic proportions of this album, echoing in parts the amplitude of Murcof’s Cosmos (Leaf, 2007), and in others Petit’s equally ambitious Off To Titan (Karl records 2010), but they temper this with much more delicate moments, for which they assemble incredibly detailed and refined atmospheric passages.
