Jean-Claude Deblais is a French musician, guitarist and composer; entirely focused on sombre, low resonances and cavernous sounds, Le Miroir Du Fantastique
(or, In the Mirror of the Surnatural), published 1977, is a suite of
atmospheric instrumental tracks intended for fantastic and horror
movies. Deblais plays all instruments, including percussion (marimba,
wood blocks, gongs), keyboards (piano and inside the piano, electric
organ, synthesizer, even Ondes Martenot on #8 L’Esprit Voyage), strings (electric and bass guitars, banjo on #5 Nevroville),
as well as flute. On several tracks, the piano is used to create
lugubrious bell tolls produced while striking the bass strings
repeatedly, a feature recurring often in the form of repeated, piano
chords or string ostinatos, with or without synth drones.
