ANTARTICA : Marc Soucy’s Beginnings As A Composer
Marc Soucy: electric grand piano, organ, analog synthesizers
Jeff Carano: bass guitar, bass synth
Ray Lavigne: drums, percussion
These are LIVE performances directly to stereo tape using room microphones only.
“…hectic, inventive, endlessly engaging and dynamic, as well as just amazingly delivered. The bass of Jeff Carano sings throughout the recording, the drums of Ray Lavigne carry the whole band forward with such immense talent and effortlessness, and Soucy’s shapeshifting, dissonant, rhythmically twisted, and hella fun (keyboards) lead the way with an outstanding presence and sense of creativity.” — Rock Era Magazine April 11 2025
“I went through a full listen before finding out the music was played live, and just then the enjoyment factor immediately quadrupled. You can feel the energy that was in the room all those decades ago just by stepping into this consuming time capsule of a release." -- Rockerama Magazine April 11 2025
Paying homage to a pivotal time in his musical life, Marc has preserved the music he composed, as played by the band he was lucky enough to be a part of back then.
