On his 9^th album, René Aubry remains at the confluence of movements that are both complementary and contradictory. Between the electric and the acoustic, the highbrow and the popular, tradition and modernity, classical and new age, rock and jazz...........he has quite simply chosen not to choose.

Although rather dark in places, the instrumental music on this album is not as sombre as the almost black, barely decipherable cover ! In fact it is full of engaging, rewarding, inventive and often beautiful music that deserves a wide audience. With atmospheric backing from violin, tuba, and bowed bass Aubry plays acoustic & electric guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, cymbalum, harmonica and percussion, as well as overseeing programming & mixing.

Born in 1956, René Aubry is a self-taught musician who was encouraged to become a composer by the choreographer Carolyn Carlson, whom he first met in 1978. During the next few years, he composed the music for numerous ballets by Carlson, including "Blue Lady", "Steppe" and "Signes".

In 1986, Aubry worked closely with the puppeteer Philippe Genty, for whom he wrote the scores for "Dérives" and "Ne m'oublie pas". This album, "Seuls Au Monde", is in part composed for a new Genty production. Aubry has also woked on film soundtracks and with fado singer Bevinda.
