NASCENT RED Plays the Music from Weird Studies

Guitarist Bernard Falaise and drummer Olivier Fairfield join Pierre-Yves Martel in performing music from his albums Weird Studies Vol.1 & Vol.2, originally composed for the Weird Studies podcast. The music of Nascent Red is intensely atmospheric, subtly surreal, and meticulously designed to evoke vivid images and moods in the listener's mind, operating within the realm of speculative fiction. Each piece serves as the soundtrack to a film that, despite not existing, leaves a lasting and memorable impression.

In 2016, Raphael was recruited by Norwegian progressive rock icons Leprous. His cello has since been featured prominently on their latest three albums and he has played over 200 shows with them in Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

Raphael’s debut solo album, Worlds Within, was released in 2020 to critical acclaim. Most recently, he performed the album in its entirety at the National Arts Centre's esteemed Southam Hall with Ottawa Dance Directive, opening for the National Dance Company of Korea.
