MUSIC THAT CELEBRATES WINE
* Reasonably priced, sophisticated Euro-lounge
_____________________________

Belgium-born music composer Jerome Arthur settled in Franschhoek - food and wine capital of South Africa - and releases his "musical celebration of wine": two CDs packed with relaxing, sophisticated Euro-lounge, as analogies to Red and White wine.

"I've spent way too much time in great restaurants with horrible wallpaper-music, and I notice that the South African Cape Winelands and their wines inspire me every day," Jerome smiles.

Confessions in White continues the musical journey that Jerome started with Confessions in Red: it's a journey through cinematographic and imaginative soundscapes, relaxing the body and inspiring the mind. It's an original approach of the joy of fine wining and dining, on the tones of sophisticated lounge and ambient grooves, with some references to classical music, acid jazz and contemporary electronica.

* Music and wine are two cultural solutions to the problems of stress, and Arthur's music is perfect for a long night of good food, good wine and good company - Neil Pendock, the Sunday Times
* Jerome's aim is to make the perfect soundtrack to a stylish dinner party; it's fair to say that he's really achieved this, and there's no doubt that he'll do really well. The production is top notch - Future Music UK
* This full-bodied CD is a delicious treat with your favourite tipple - The Oprah Winfrey Magazine
* It is proof of an artist maturing and becoming a master - BPM SA
* Overall, it's an elegant production - Cape Times SA
* The album has a feel-good atmosphere and would be well suited in lounge bars and restaurants. (Not only would you be able to select a suitable wine to compliment your meal, you would also be able to choose a musical compliment for your wine!) - Die Matie SA
* Music suited to a tasting room - Wineland Magazine SA

The cinematographic feel of the Confessions is a continuation of Arthur's music composition for film, TV and art exhibitions. "I like to think of all music as a holistic, cinematographic experience," Jerome says. "Music reaches deep within human consciousness to arouse emotions, lift the spirit and spark the imagination. Sounds evoke moods, images, places you've been, people you've met, memories. I intend to let the listener's mind wander in as many directions as there are moods, images, etc."
