Union Square - Stéphane Pompougnac; 4:59

Hello Mademoiselle
Union Square

Stéphane Pompougnac
is better-known for his work on his "Hôtel Costes" collaborations. In this genuinely rare and seductive solo endeavor, Pompougnac produces arguably his best work, an enchanting feat of musical engineering. Pompougnac's Union Square is the perfect exercise in combining sounds in small detail to form a more complete full track.

In what can only be described as ethereal, Union Square is a mastery of electronic and instrumental fusion. Pompougnac's work to fine-tune the sounds of both elements shows in a masterfully-engineered track worthy of the plethora of emotion that the song invokes, or has the potential to do so, fitting somber moods as evenly as elated moods. The song begins with a harp-like, plucking electronic loop, leading into a beautiful string ensemble headed by a cello and violin. The string instruments' sound blends perfectly with the electronic base of the track. The listener drifts with the track til the middle, when the opening loop gives way to a plucked guitar, backed by the string ensemble. The song hits its peak in the last minute when the opening loops begins again, and all of the mesmerising elements of the song are combined, til coming to a close on the same note that it started.

This song can be purchased at the iTunes Music Store.
