Neo-classical and (dark) ambient are always genres people hate deeply or love intensely. Dark ambient is one of the most depressing musical styles ever to flow out of human hands and minds. The same goes for neo-classical music, which is actually a sub genre of what is called dark ambient. The music is able to point out the true pointlessness and sadness in things that we are quite used to in life, things that doesn't bother most people. A deep and intense expression of feelings that are mostly hid by the majority of the people. Only few bands/artists are active in this scene and that makes it even more attractive. Le Triste Sire is such an act from France, and produces a brilliant mixture between dark ambient and neo-classical music.
Music which is dominated (like most dark ambient) by the keyboards and string arrangements (which are actually keyboards as well but sounds quite natural in all aspects). The overall moody and depressive atmosphere is set by those background keyboards and string arrangements. Additional melodies are placed with another thicker layer of keyboards (even some bass lines) and some simple piano tunes. Something, which could be labelled as percussion - in the form of something that sounds familiar with gongs and some rather strange beats and simple drum rhythms - has been woven into the music as well. Every now and then a girl who carries the name of Claire alternates the music with spoken word passages. This all makes it in neo-classical themes quite varied and unusual as well. Not quite standard and therefore Le Triste Sire is one of the most interesting and best inspired acts ever to embark from these genres. This is an album that should be tried by fans of this kind of music and people who are fond of inspiring and dark music in general
