Michael Giacchino and his Nouvelle Modernica Orchestra - Travelogue Volume 1
NOW STREAMING!
The transmission of the interstellar message has been identified! This week, we're beyond proud to present a truly wondrous album by legendary, Academy Award®-winning composer Michael Giacchino and his Nouvelle Modernica Orchestra titled TRAVELOGUE VOL. 1.
The record follows a space traveller seeking solace on a planet that isn’t as broken and lost as her own distant world. Upon discovering earth, the story unfolds throughout 11 captivating tracks. To say more would be to spoil the journey and the listener's interpretation.
The songs have a beautiful, timeless, hazy feeling that transports the listener to their own imagination. Musically, it’s indebted to the easy listening wonders of such legendary musicians as Martin Denny and Lex Baxter (both of whom pioneered the lounge music of the '50s and '60s). While Michael continues the tradition of using driving jazz-infused rhythms, he updates this timeless sound with synths, samples and a full string orchestra bringing it into 2020 and making it his own. His melodies are incredible as always, weaving in and out of tracks with a boundless fluidity, and the record's so much fun you’ll find yourself listening to it again the minute the needle hits the run-out groove of side 4.
The cover artwork by Henry Abrams complements the music perfectly; its effortless beauty is something to get lost in as you listen. Truly wondrous.
Sit back and let Michael Giacchino and his Nouvelle Modernica Orchestra transport you to a place both familiar and strange as you let the sounds of yesteryear take you into the future.
You can check out the premiere single from the album, titled SIDEREAL DAY 2, on our Youtube page, and watch the animated teaser video for the whole album here.
The album is available for streaming now at through all digital retailers. If you pre-ordered the vinyl or CD it will begin shipping by mid-November. Keep an eye out for tracking!
