Notes

Notes:
Some months after the split of Adan & Ilse we are proud to present A★I ‘Le Chant Du Cygne Noir’ on Unknown Pleasures Records

A★I is the newest alias for franco spanish artist Pedro Peñas Robles with discreet and not very well-known electronica producer Phllox.

Pedro started out as a teenager by Djing and organising dark underground parties on different clubs of south of France. As musician he produced many industrial noise albums (under the moniker HIV+) and numerous vocal performances, remixes and side projects (Adan & Ilse, Ushersan & HIV+, Sensory Mindfields, H.U.H...).

Mixing elements as disparate as modern synth pop, electronica, hypnotising synths, driving beats, dirty distortions, vocals and cinematic soundscapes, this debut album is innovative, dark but pop!

What maybe can be described as ‘alternative modern synth pop music’ unfolds in different nuances with overdriving pure electronic climax.

All lyrics, vocals & backing vocals by Pedro.
*except "Ashes To Ashes" by Pedro & Dan Soderqvist (Twice A Man) and lyrics on "Goodbye Lady Red" by Rapid Sherpa.

All sounds written & mixed by Phllox, except "Holy Grail", "Sin Of Sin" and "Fire Walk With Me" written by Phllox & Pedro and Ashes To Ashes* written by David Bowie (Rest In Peace Ziggy 1947-2016).

Many thanks to Usher for the cold inspiration, sounds & influences on "Sin Of Sin", "Odyssey" and "Dark Stars" (Music inspired on a "Red Star" song by Adan & Ilse written by Usher)

Mastering by Rémy Pelleschi at QFG studio (France)
