« Can pop music still be reinvented? Is it possible to offer an innovative sound, something we never heard before that is neither electro nor pop or rock? Those were the questions I kept asking myself as I started working on Prequell two years ago. I went back to the roots of my musical inspiration. From my orchestral training and my admiration for the great sound tracks by the likes of John Barry, John Williams to the intense creativity of artists such as Craig Armstrong, Massive Attack and Björk. I therefore started my own musical « Prequell », as I projected myself into the future, beyond those early influences. Nurtured in a fascination for space exploration, I imagined a new form of pop structure in the form of an inter-galactic journey, flying in between classic orchestrations and electronic beats. 15 songs later, the album «The Future Comes before » was born. » Thomas Roussel

    Posted At: November 7, 2017

    Fashion runway shows are not the places I usually look for music to play on Echoes. But if I had looked, I would've found the music of Prequell, the recording guise of French composer Thomas Roussel. He does shows for Pigalle, Michael Kors, Christian Dior and other high fashion designers. He treats these shows as if he was scoring a movie and the sound is nothing if not cinematic.With The Future Comes Be...
