Sales Information:
Now living in Manchester, he initially made the move back to his native Yorkshire a couple of years ago after some time in London, where he set to work teaching himself the finer detailsof programming and began work onThe Swimmer. Deeply emotive and epic in scale, it drawsit's influences from the great second wave of film composers including John Carpenter andVangelis, as well as minimalist composers such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass.
France's skill, in this album, as well as his work with The Cinematic Orchestra, is in soundtracking human emotion - it is full of heartbreak and recovery, strength, honesty and frailty, it is meditative and hopeful.
