Cirkus - Wild Dogs (2017)

CIRKUS is Alain PROULX (bass, keys, drums, vocals) who has also written, composed and arranged the songs with the contribution of Serge DOUCET for guitar arrangements and C.LUCAS PROULX for vocal arrangements. Alain is a producer of music since the late 70's and has made some soundtrack music. This double concept album "Wild Dogs" contains old songs from that period plus more recent songs. This album was made with their own recording gear, the band chooses to be in a perpetual creation mode. To do that they had to make a compromise on the sound quality for the music which is not the same as the one you can find in a standard professional recording studio. CIRKUS is also a multimedia show where music, projections, lighting, and scenery will contribute to build an experience for the senses.

The music is taking the symphonic Prog Rock 70's sound adding exotic rhythms, classical and musical comedy music. You can hear influences from GENESIS and MICK OLDFIELD. This double concept album about the battle of two dogs one evil and one good contains long epics with plenty of different atmospheres and moods to make it a 2 hours and twenty minutes journey.
