Orion - Orion 2.0: Virtual Human (2019)

Just two years after the very successful ''Le Survivant'' Pat Wyrembski and Jasiu Tokarz (co-founders of ORION) are back for their 5th album. The two partners have decided to get involved in production, artistic achievement and compositions, but leaving an important place to other musicians. The joint project ORION 2.0 was born …

About the album :
Pat's idea was to renew himself in a "New Prog" style with the desire to get progressive rock more popular and accessible, without denying his progressive roots.
A main change, a new singer : Jérôme Nigou on vocals and backing vocals, who also wrote all the lyrics and composed melodies.
Other new features :
- All team members took part in the composing process.
- Five texts are in English and two are in French.
This disc therefore consists of 7 tracks for a total duration of 40'29'' with those main themes :
"Digital life, robotisation, dehumanisation, artificial intelligence…
What kind of society do we want?
Can we still choose our lives in an increasingly virtual world ?
ORION questions our modern world in an ironic, sometimes puzzled, way."
As well as a tribute title "Run for Life" and a final song inspired by the famous fantasy novel "La peau de chagrin" written by Balzac in 1831. In this fantastic tale is the classic theme of the pact with the Devil : "I trade you the fulfilment of your desires for your life or your soul. "
