Rasa Music > Coco de Mer

Conceived & produced by Adam Plack, "Coco de Mer" is a lush fusion of traditional French, Italian, and Latin arias, live orchestration, and instruments which are elegantly stitched together with sensual, downtempo dance grooves & modern music. "Coco de Mer" is a potent musical experience for the concert virgin. Australian born, New York based, Adam Plack has embraced his own childhood passion for opera, jazz, and the blues with the intention of taking opera from the perfumed arid halls of "Uptown" onto the funky street and into the heart of "Downtown". "Coco de Mer" features the angelic vocals of acclaimed soprano Chen Reis, virtuoso pianist Ilan Rechtman under direction of Plack. Although the arias written by the great classical composers Bach, Handel, Delibes, Bizet, Puccini and others are a hundred years old and beyond, in Adam Plack's deft hand the emotions are deeply touching & ring true with us, the 21st Century listener. Buddha Bar/Niravana Lounge, Paris' Claude Challe will be debuting a remix of "Coco de Mer" on his album to be released, January 2003, which will be accompanied by a "minifilm" by Cirque de Soleil of Claude Challe/Adam Plack remix track, "Carmelita Lounging".
