The multi-instrumentalist Jacques Bailhé surely knows how to set a cinematic score with his long list of film and commercial tracks. He once again touches the world with his instrumental mastery in “Désirs de la Basque.”
“Désirs de la Basque” is a rippling experience. It surges and engages with strings. Layered with melodic guitars, the song grounds the music with raw revving. Together, they create a climactic satisfaction that builds and builds till it hits the right spots.
The song enters slow and contemplative with riffing guitars. They shimmer mystically and softly. As you take it all in, you realize the music is trying to tell you something. There is a rumble of electric guitar grinding underneath the song. The revving guitar becomes the standout element of the track for the way it aurally demonstrates its agonizing melodic edge.
Besides, the composition glints with notes keyed nostalgically. The cinematic score it creates has a way of tugging our heartstrings. The occasional drum beat throws us off as it makes us skip a beat. The music takes you through a landscape of emotions as if you’re witnessing a grand, sweeping story unfold.
Bailhé proves his deftness once again in “Désirs de la Basque.” The song signifies the power of instrumental music. No lyrics is needed for this level of instrumental storytelling.
Listen to the therapeutic instrumental prowess of “Désirs de la Basque,” by Jacques Bailhé, especially when you are studying, meditating, working or trying to sleep.
