Composed by François Rousselot (Oscar-winning short film Mr. Hublot) and featuring the voice of Clarisse May (France’s The Voice television show) as Adeliane, Adeliane is based on the Shadows of Esteren character of the same name, a strong, brave young woman crushed under the weight of a tragic past and on a quest to shed light on the mysteries that haunt her nightmares. Inspired by the universes of Philip Glass, Agnes Obel and David Darling, the album is one window into a medieval world filled with dark romantiscim, where ghastly horror and awe-inspiring beauty go hand in hand. The album will be recorded by the Budapest Symphonic Orchestera under the direction of Rousselot. Adeliane will release July 2017 and marks the fourth album created for the Shadows of Esteren world.
