Mr. Langlois has recently released his debut album of original compositions, “Ambiance”. The genre of music would be described as roots music comparable to the music of “Bruce Cockburn”. Mr. Langlois’ lyrical phrasing is similar to that of Leonard Cohen. His music mixes the influences of traditional music with classical and jazz into strong arrangements with memorable melodies.
Mr. Langlois’ influences include a respect for and affinity with nature, the rhythms and beliefs of First Nations, his own French cultural heritage, and musical genres from traditional roots to jazz and classical.
The Project
Ambiance is the conceptual recording, video and performance project of Guy Langlois. The concept of the album is to bring the listener to an emotional or physical place where the song was created, i.e. “Canada’s North”.
The CD features music in the Pop/Adult genre of music and includes two songs performed in French.
The album was recorded on Vancouver Island drawing from the large pool of talented musicians who perform in the area.
Plans are underway to produce the video, “Starlight”. The scheduled release date for the video is spring 2005.
