Larry Groupé: Dream Cinema
After Excelsius, Dream Cinema. Emmy Award-winning composer Larry Groupé just released his second solo album, a beautiful collection of epic, heroic and inspiring tracks featuring orchestra and choir.
“Some people dream in black and white. Others dream in color. In the case of Larry Groupé, he carefully crafts his dreams into vivid, rich, cinematic, audio-technicolor” (source: press release)
With Dream Cinema, Groupé wants “to push every possible border in making it quite clear which emotion [he is] trying to convey – emotions can change drastically within each song.” “What I’m hoping that people take from it is, back in the old album days, if you listened to the whole thing – which was the album concept – you walk away with the feeling of having been on a journey because you’ve experienced so many feelings and emotions”, he says. “I like to think people will feel uplifted, taken away and left thinking.”
Groupé is known for his work with Immediate Music – he has composed dozen of cues for them, and arranged and conducted many others. You may actually recognize several of Immediate Music’s tracks in Dream Cinema: these are some of the cues he composed for the company. They were originally released to trailer industry professionals several years ago, and are now available to the public, featured in Groupé’s second solo album under new names. For example, “Judgment Suite” was formerly known as “Armageddon”, “A Hero Among Us” has become “There Are Heroes Among Us”…
Most of the tracks were recorded with members of the London Symphony Orchestra at the Abbey Road Studios.
Dream Cinema is available to the public for purchase in digital format through iTunes and Amazon, and as physical CD on the Imperativa Store and Amazon. You can also discover the album on Spotify. Furthermore, to celebrate this release, Groupé’s first album Excelsius is available at a low price ($7,95) for a limited time on the Imperativa Store.
Last but not least, some of the tracks might be future Globus material…!
