Melodies of Illusion

Melodies of Illusion

I can’t really remember when I first heard Philippe Van Mullem‘s “The Secret Folder (Part 1)” (YouTube link) (Promo 62 on Bonzai Trance Progressive) for the first time, but I was hooked right away and I wanted to delve into the progressive soundscape but make it less house-y and more chillout-y and suddenly “Falling Leaves” was born. It’s slower than “The Secret Folder (Part 1)” but I think you can hear where I got the inspiration from if you listen to both of them.

Sadly, Philippe passed away on the 13th of February, 2015.

The second half of the “Melodies of Illusion” album is a lot darker and heavier than the first half. “Golden Butterfly” is some sort of divider between the two.

The album has seven songs and a total playing time of 63 minutes.

More information about the album and links to both streaming and download can be found here.
