Orchestral music is powerful and so emotional, I always been amazed by the variety of feelings you can suggest with the sound of a symphonic orchestra, the dynamic is just incredible, from the whisper of a pianissimo to a gigantic tutti, the energy is just magic.
Blending electronic and classical sounds together was the main idea for this project. Here is the opus one...

I'd like to thanks Ilya Truskovsky who helped me to put all this music together.
It’s certainly the first step to further musical collaboration
Thanks to Eugene Mishustin for being part at the beginning of this project.

Thanks to all my followers, Deep Forest will continue to grow because of you !

It was a year 2015 when I first met Eric in Los Angeles. Before that I was just a die-hard fan of Deep Forest, an iconic French duo that somewhere deep in the mid 90’s simply torn my “musical roof” away, so to speak. It was so bold, so new, so fresh and so incredibly beautiful. I truly believe that it was Deep Forest music that changed my musical path from a wanna-be classical concert pianist to a wanna-be electronic music artist. I have never had a single regret for making that big change, that eventually led me to Los Angeles years later and to that historical meeting with Eric, that I have never even dreamed of.

Our music collaboration started way before Deep Symphonic album, as Eric has been carrying this idea of blending his music with symphonic orchestra for a while and he started implementing it on various projects. That’s how we started looking for a new sound, new blends and new colors. At some point Eric called me and introduced his idea of making a symphonic album that would include remakes of some famous Deep Forest anthems along with some new material, but everything had to be treated with some symphonic love, as I like to call it. So the work has begun. It was an incredible fun time, like a musical rollercoaster and I’m being the happiest kid in the middle of the ride. The climax of this journey was a visit to the famous Deep Forest recording studio in the heart of France. That was a time of intense work, finalizing tracks, making new ones and just having fun.

Now, I’m so happy that this album is about to reach its listeners all over the world. I hope everybody will have as much joy listening to this album, as we had making it!
