Peter Shallamandi - Ehad Project (2015)

It's on the road to Jerusalem that "Ehad Project" (Musea Parallèle, 2015) was conceived. Here is a concept-album which saw the light at the crossroads of the world's civilisations and whose purpose is also to fit neatly in Humanity's legend that runs throughout history. A musical crusade through time and space. A spiritual quest of a human being taking an inner journey, which is revealed through the music, as the unconscious would unfold by means of a dream. For his first opus, Peter SHALLAMANDI has brought together a team of thirty singers and musicians, amongst them drummer Baptiste BRONDY (Jean-Louis AUBERT, THE SILENCERS...), bassist Francis MOZE (MAGMA, Jacques HIGELIN...), singers Yamina & Nadia NID EL MOURID (LO-JO) or flautist Pascal VANDENBULCKE (Didier SQUIBAN...). Music from another time that shows both baroque and contemporary influences (BACH, STRAVINSKY, John ADAMS...) as well as Progressive rock (Jon ANDERSON, Mike OLDFIELD, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER...), with here and there ancient or Neo-Mediaeval and mystical tones reminiscent of certain ambiances of DEAD CAN DANCE. The crystalline celtic voice of Sarah TRUTET adds an elf-like quality. The music of Ehad ("Oneness" in Hebrew) is a universal symbol which speaks to the soul. It brings a message of peace and reunification of all peoples as well as the sacred cultures of our Inner Humanity.
