A Simple Melody

“The Lake of Signs” is a piece that takes ideas from Terry Gilliam’s film, Brazil. Violin sounds form a clear tune, held by a beat that shifts between careful, steady strikes and firm, metal drums. An electronic bass holds the rhythm, coming from a scene of an unusual Christmas.  

The song starts with a soft yet clear violin tune, similar to old new age pieces by Vangelis. The tune sounds like it calls from darkness, a trace of past Christmas times when dark and light met.

A beat soon comes in with steady percussion that reminds one of life even in cold months. The electronic bass keeps a steady, active beat in the piece, a hint of the strength of ideas mixed with old customs.  

“As music curators at PopHits.Co, we see clear value in Jean-Philippe Ruelle’s work. He mixes modern effects and old-school styles well and makes music that both relaxes and holds interest, which shows his skill as a composer.
