Deep Forest´s Earthquake Fund Raising
I think that Eric Mouquet of Deep Forest´s song Wont be long is one of the best songs composed in our genre over the last few years. The song was composed in cooperation with Chinese singer Sa Dingding. If I´m not mistaken this song is composed for the “yet to be released” Deep China-project (the beautiful Deep Brasil was released in 2009, and we are now waiting for Deep Africa). The song is an example of just how great a composer Eric really is, and that he is able to compose in different genres. Wont be long is a simply marvelous song, and I´m sure you´ll like it too.
Now Eric is offering this song as a free download on his page and asking people to give a donation to the current Earthquake Fund Raising for Japan. All money collected will go to the Japanese Red Cross.
You find it all here. What a great initiative!!!
New Movie Music by Eric Mouquet
Eric Mouquet of Deep Forest / Deep Projects has posted the following message:
Last september I composed music for this movie called IKIMONO, it’s about biodiversity on the Earth. My children are singing in the ending song. All music will be available soon.
Below is the movie trailer with Eric’s music:
It is tempting to compare the song with a Deep Forest classic like First Twilight on World Mix (1994). The melodic element is a bit hard to grasp at the first listen, but second time around you are amazed by the wonderful complexity of it. The ending song has a bright, upbeat feel and is will for sure be a hit with your children.
Yet again Eric Mouquet is showing that he is the no. 1 when it comes to creating heartfelt new age music with a truly timeless feel. This music takes you back to the dinosaurs and into today’s world again in a snap. Bravo!

If you didn’t get to see Eric Mouquet of Deep Forest/Deep Project’s concert at La Villette/France in May, you can now enjoy three songs from the concert below.
I think it so nice to hear and see Eric do some of the old Deep Forest material, from the World Mix period in the mid 1990s. And wow, Blick Bassy adds a magnificent vocal! Inor Sotolongo is great on the percussion. Some Deep Brasil material would also have been nice of course.
When doing this kind of music live the question is always; how to give life to the ethnical samples and the overall synth/sequenced presentation. The best way is actually shown here; just playback the samples and synth effect and add something extra, like Blick Bassy’s vocal – and even more live instruments.
These videos are true gold for the Deep Forest fan. And don’t forget, we will soon get a brand new Deep Project album called Deep Africa! Eric Mouquet is without a doubt the king of new age music within the ethnic sub genre. With a Grammy (for Deep Forest) and over 10 million album sold and just as many playbacks on Youtube, he is an artist loved by a truly international audience.

Deep Forest, Deep Projects, Eric Mouquet | Leave a commentListen to Deep Africa
Eric Mouquet, the Deep Forest veteran, has posted a 5 minute long prelisten to his upcoming album Deep Africa. It has now been made available on Deep-Projects.com. 
From what I can hear the album will be closer to the World genre than new age music – with plenty of African singing (and not just samples as in the classical Deep Forest albums). But, as with Deep Brasil, there are segments that are obviously very true to the old Deep Forest sound too – so new age music fans have a lot to look forward to here.
As always, Eric Mouquet is expected to give his fans a treasure chest of ethnical sounds – just like he has on his previous albums.

Three new live videos with Eric Mouquet
I hold Eric Mouquet of Deep Forest/Deep Projects to be the finest Ethnic Fusion artist ever - and he is one of the few major label new age artists that debuted in the 1990s. He is also an outstanding pianist. But don’t take my word for it, let the 10+ million albums sold, or the 20+ million Youtube playbacks of Sweet Lullaby speak for themselves. Like Mike Oldfield he has not been that successful in the US, but he is loved both in Europe and in Asia (especially Japan). I also feel that his current Deep Project, with last year’s release of Deep Brasil (our review here), is truly inspiring.
Another thing that makes Eric Mouquet great is his ability to make live shows out of sequenced music, much like J. M. Jarre (but with a much smaller laser show mind you). Below are three freshly uploaded Youtube videos from Eric’s show “Live in Ebisu”, Tokyo 2009 on July 20th, available in HD-quality. Awesome!
