Hello,
Here, my new instrumental piece about a crime against humanity committed by France*.
A lot of appeasement at the beginning, with ample guitar chords, then the piece grows. Little by little, all the instruments come on the scene: synths, percussions, drums, electric guitars, etc.

*The Salvation Islands ... This charming place simply referred to the three islands located offshore between Cayenne and Saint-Laurent du Maroni, in French Guyana (1852-1946).
One of the parts of a bagne, in fact.
There were deported common law prisoners, apple thieves or hardened criminals, but also politicians, including Dreyfus.
With hindsight, we now know that the prison was indeed an extermination camp and that there were crimes against humanity.
You will have no trouble finding many reports on this subject, especially on the great purification of the 1940s, which saw three-quarters of the prisoners die in atrocious conditions.

It is another vision of history, much more real and documented than the one that lingers in our collective conscious and unconscious.

Well, I did enjoy that... eventually. But there must be some usage contention. It kept stopping and I had to restart it each time :(

Daniel, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I could almost feel the pain those prisoners went through.  This is an excellent piece of music.

PS - I had no stopping problems here.

A beautiful composition with superb musicianship.
I'm a sucker for pieces of music that build up.
That's the way I like to work.
You capture perfectly the scene you are trying to portray with this work.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you, guys. Really  :)
