Press release by Beth Hilton

Six Waves takes listeners on a captivating journey, from the depths of oceanic complexity to the farthest reaches of outer space. Each track stands alone, yet together they create a seamless, unfolding narrative—six waves of sound that offer a dynamic range of sonic adventures, rich in geometric and vibrational textures.

The album stretches the boundaries of modern electronic music, blending deep, atmospheric soundscapes with intricate sonic layers. At times, it evokes the experimental depths of Moebius, the cosmic expansiveness of Jean-Michel Jarre, the textured, organic rhythms of Cluster, and the ethereal landscapes of Brian Eno’s APOLLO. Fans of Jon Hopkins or Darshan Ambient will also find a lot to like on Six Waves. The album offers an immersive listening experience, balancing an introspective mood with a sense of exploration and discovery.

Music correspondent Robin B. James commented, “Six Waves deserves to be called strange and mysterious, or simply calming space music. Each track explores a different musical place, what they have in common is the musical vision of Thierry David.”

Thierry David was born in Paris in 1955, he practiced the usual major pieces from the classical repertoire before discovering the freedoms of jazz while still a teenager. He graduated from one of the prestigious business schools in Paris, he accepted a volunteer posting to the cultural service of the French Embassy in Lima, Peru. During this time, he played with local musicians and explored composing in new ways. He learned to create his own sound and his own musical world while reconsidering his life trajectory and future work. “Rather than rush into a diplomatic or business career, I attempted the entrance exam for Berklee College of Music in Boston.” He played in piano bars, gave piano lessons, accompanied jazz bands, rock bands, even heavy metal bands, and at odd times he amused himself with composing jingles which could have led to a very different outcome.

Music journalist RJ Lannan, writing for the Zone Music Reporter, observes that “Sometimes Thierry David’s music is referred to as lounge music, but I think it needs and deserves more attention than that. Sure, you can play any of his albums in the background and set a mood that is unconscious and ambient, but then there are songs that call to your spirit, and you just have to give it more thought, more value.”
