Amaury Faye

• DIGIPACK EDITION

From dark valleys to snowy peaks, evergreen forests to sheer cliffs, ARISE is an ode to the mountains composed by Amaury Faye, a homage to his alpinist grandfathers.

From this limitless source of inspiration Amaury Faye brings forth an instrumental suite, presented as a triptych. The three parts follow the idea of ascent; from the heart of the valleys, into the harshness of a steep climb, along precipitous paths and to the peace of the eternal summits.

To bring this music to life using both rigorous writing and unbridled improvisation; Amaury decided to bring together the string quartet from the Toulouse Chamber Orchestra, New York rising star Julian Lee and his own trio of hungry up and comers.

ARISE  is a project in the image of its musicians bringing together jazz, classical, film score and modern music for an epic journey through lush valleys, crystalline lakes to frosted moutaintops.
