The composer of atmospheric
instrumental music known as Gustavo de Beauville has released his
second full-length album, “Volume 2.” The record contains no
fewer than 20 original tracks for an approximate listening total of
one hour. It has been proudly published as an independent release
without the direction of the corporate music industry. Epic in scope,
emotionally sweeping, and capable of painting vivid soundscapes for
cinema, video games, or rapt, personal listening, “Volume 2”
solidifies Gustavo de Beauville as one of the scene's most
accomplished new composers.
Canada's Gustavo de Beauville cites as
main artistic influences Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Plaid, Two Steps from
Hell, Dead Can Dance, '90s grunge, and background scores from films
like the Matrix and from legendary video games such as “Perfect
Dark,” “Time Splitters,” and “Mega Man.”
Songs on De Beauville's “Volume 2”
also boast awe-inspiring, often bleak and intimidating futuristic
overtones.
“The music of Volume 2 is a
collection of hybrid orchestral and electronic rock tracks written to
support a sci-fi themed experience,” writes the composer of his new
LP. “The songs are a celebration of the hours spent playing
same-screen multiplayer games with good friends. They are a nod to
the kid who was perceived as being alone in their room – but in
whose mind was on an epic quest to save the world.”
Also plainly heard on the record are De
Beauville's roots playing guitar in rock music. Prior to his career
as a composer, he spent the bulk of his time writing and performing
in heavy metal bands. As such, he has populated “Volume 2” with
extensive analog guitar which lend the record an organic, live
quality audiophiles will appreciate.
Gustavo De Beauville is a
multi-instrumentalist and audio engineer trained at the famous
Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology. Specializing in dark
and shadowy music, De Beauville has contributed to film, video games,
and has released several original progressive-rock albums.
