about

"This is a huge and expansive work of exquisite drama." - Mr Olivetti, FREQ Music magazine

"Garden of Secrets is a very successful and varied disc with electronic-folk-jazz-progressive soundscapes, and thus another remarkable album from Discus." – Achim Breiling, BABYBLAUE SEITEN

"Perez is paired on this consistently fascinating and always surprising recording alongside the acutely simpatico Alex Hegyesi, a skilled strings player and percussionist armed with a virtual arsenal of such objects... All these rich mindstates vividly demonstrate that Garden of Secrets ticks all the right boxes; experimental and accessible, beautifully tasteful to the ear, and eminently listenable. - Darren Bergstein, Downtown Music Gallery

"an incredibly varied, music for receptive listeners." - Martin Slávik, Kali Music

"Steeped in jazz, prog and South East Asian music, Garden Of Secrets is an electro-acoustic suite built around the saxophone and shakuhachi of Hervé Perez, and the strings of Alexandru Hegyesi." - Stewart Smith, The Wire

"Ça frémit, ça bruisse, ça goutte, ça racle, ça tinte, ça coule, ça grésille, ça craque et ça vente, au point qu’on a plutôt l’impression de randonner dans une forêt aux balisages incertains, ou sur un plateau volcanique cahoteux. Mais quel que soit le décor, on y fait halte pour se réconcilier avec les éléments naturels et méditer sur l’impermanence des choses." - Stéphane Fougère, Rythmes Croisés

An electroacoustic work by Hervé Perez taking the form of a suite of compositions which combine Hervé's software based sounds with a host of beautiful and unusual sounds from a wide range of instruments played by Hervé and collaborator Alex Hegyesi.

In Hervé's words:

"I wanted to create the feel and sound of a live band, but of course, all done in the studio, in computer, through scalpel cutting and minute arrangements, sound design and processing etc.

The result is a series of pieces or instrumental songs that explore spirituality from different angles and moods. I hope I managed to create a contrast with ‘Winds of Change’, the first collaboration we did, made of longer abstract tracks."
