Welcome to the pre-release of Pluviophile. I'm your host, Gregoíre Pearce, and I'd like to take a moment to tell you about myself and the record. First, I'm just under 2 meters and 93kg, all the compositions are my own, and, with the exception of hammond organ (Tim Peck) and tenor saxophone (Derek Joly), I sang and played all of the instruments. The orchestrations vary from solo flamenco guitar like in "June Fifth" to the tres dense "Pluviophile" or "The Love Boat".
The art work isn't finished yet, as you may have noticed, but worry not.. there's a fabulous designer putting the work of a fabulous artist all together for us.
Pluviophile represents a few years of research, composition, arranging, practice, and a subconscious fusing of many of my influences into what I feel is an accurate representation of my current musical self.
For best results, listen loud! Head between the speakers, earbuds are for chumps, throw on some monitoring cans, just hi-fi, dig?
