Biography:
My name is Alain Amouyal.
I am a composer. My musical pseudonym
is AEva. It is the living symbol of
the Eternal Couple to whom each one
of us aspires ever since the night
of times and which has inspired numerous
creators.
(Orpheus & Eurydice, Tristan & Iseult,
Romeo & Juliette.)
When I observed,
about twenty years ago, that the music
I improvised calmed patients that came
to consult me at my dental office,
I decided to entrust my recordings
to my doctor and music therapist friends
who taught me this music's capacity
to trigger catharsis in many of their
own sick patients... Day after day, I
recorded the music that "came" to me,
and little by little, I realized that
it was telling a story... in accordance
with a plan that escaped my understanding,
but whose essence had a powerful effect
on me and on others. This story was none
other than one of a musician, who like
Orpheus, had come back to Earth to find
Eurydice again, and with her was able
to use his lyre, on a journey of discovery,
living from day to day...
25 years went
by... I found my Eurydice again and
I retrospectively wrote the story of
our reunion, in music. Thus, this music,
inspired by Her, had only one goal;
to make the stages of the reconquest
of this eternal love appear, buried deep
within my cells and to tell the adventure
to others in order to arouse in them
the sense of the possible... After "improvisations"on
synthesizers, and the piano studies that
followed, the first orchestration elements
revealed the "spectacular" orientation
of this music that "stimulates the imagination",
as many listeners have said.
" Orpheus, the Seal of the Eternal Couple " is
the Project of my life. The originality
of this project lies first of all in
the fact that it is a lived adventure,
and secondly that the music initiated
the story, creating a universal human
adventure that is ageless, the story
of a musician who sets off for the reconquest
of his Beloved in the 21st century.
" Orpheus, the Seal of the Eternal Couple " is
a project for a Grand
Interactive Multimedia Show which offers
to unite different forms of expression
and avant-garde scenography where music,
dance, film, and virtual images will
find their place in an epic that will
have the vastness of big shows created
in the past in mythical places like Epidauros,
in Greece.
