Nous pensons que les synthétiseurs sont également la cause de nos influences!
Grâce, mais aussi quand même dû à beaucoup de ces Artistes précitées ou non !
"Inertia Deep"
Inertia Deep is an old track from 1989 that we had remastered
to save it on CD.
Some of our old tracks are being remastered, and probably,
we think to release an album with these.
Our real new album is still not finished and we hope it to be... very soon!
"3..."
This track was composed for a compilation with the instruments:
ARP 2500, OBERHEIM Xpander, KORG PS3300 & 3100, RSF EXP. I & II, ROLAND vocoder SVC350.
This track is a part of a long experimentation in our studio and used
for a CD Dream Watchers Tales.
This is the first part from the the track "à l'ouest d'un horizon".
"DWT6" (excerpt)
This is a demo for the "DreamWatchers" N°6 (now, finish!).
The CD+DVD "DWT6" is being circulated, but news coming as soon as possible!
All the sequence were made with a ROLAND MC202 & the ambient sound with an ARP2600 & KORG PS3100.
"Computer Space"
we have realised this track in 1995.
About 3 hours of improvisation in our studio.
This track appears in the album "Computer Space"
in our other group name.
"Cordes sur Ciel"
is a track which we recorded
after the visit of this small village of the same name... a long time now !
Many melancholic tracks were carried out on tapes
at our beginnings and this one is one of the many tracks we have made.
The recording is not in very good shape due to our debut audio recordings equipment.
Well, DreamWatchers is finished for some time,
but it is actually impossible to distribute it free!
The weight of the CD + DVD is too heavy and therefore it is not possible
to host it on any site!
If someone has an idea, please leave a message at us.
Thanks

---------- BIO STORY (en français / in french) ----------
NightBirds est un duo de musiques électroniques / expérimentales originaire du sud de la France crée à la fin de l'année 1985.
L'idée de départ est née d'une simple phrase : créer la musique que l'on aurait aimé entendre.
Le ton est ainsi lancé.
Le groupe ira dans la direction d'achat de multiples synthétiseurs analogiques, un monde sans mémoire et pour une création sonore infinie.
Leurs influences sont large, mais pour seul point commun : le synthétiseur.
De 85 à 91, ils enregistrent une multitude de démos sur K7 audio et bandes magnétiques afin de trouver un style propre a eu même. A cette occasion, ils finalisent leur premier album K7 (fin 89) : GEODE.
Le projet "Géode" est un des aboutissements de recherche et d'idées de leurs musiques mais également une ouverture pour le style que les NightBirds vont se créer.
Le 26 juin 1993, participation au festival Electronic Waves (Paris).
Suite à ce concert, de nombreux travaux sur bandes, continuité dans la recherche, l'expérimentation, mais aussi étude sur les synthétiseurs et leurs possibilités sur de nouvelles créations.
1994, nouveaux travaux sur la bande de démo "Géode" et remasterisation de celle-ci. Réalisation d'un mini album sur K7 : Tree Birds, jamais édité ou distribué.
En octobre 1995, ils donnent un concert de 2h30 au Palais des Congrès du Cap d'Agde. Musiques improvisées et séquences programmées sont au programme.
Hey guys! every time I listen to your tracks is like jumping into the early past based on the bestest electronic period...inertia deep: supreme! thanks for your beautiful music all the best Voyager eleven
At last its here my darling turnips, the long awaited video to 2045. Visuals by wunderkind SPIDERSLEG which are f***in' brilliant I'm sure you'll agree.
Special thanks and manly hugs to SPIDERSLEG for all his work in putting this together. NUMB.
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. Albert Schweitzer...
