“Entomology” by Pascal Lengagne is an intriguing electro instrumental piece that imagines a world where insects take control. The track features insect-like sounds creating a repeating rhythmic pattern, over which melodic arpeggios drift and whirr. Atmospheric sounds build underneath, providing depth and texture to the arrangement. Pounding kick drums and synth elements come to the fore with marching-like intensity, adding drama and tension, making it an engaging track full of energy.
French composer Pascal Lengagne, known for his work in film scores, brings his extensive background in classical piano, jazz, and film music to this composition. His journey began at the age of 5, studying classical piano and later exploring jazz and film scores. As a teenager, he taught himself composition, analyzing harmonic progressions, chord positions, melodies, and timbres of pieces he admired. His passion for music often led him to replay film scores on the piano immediately after watching movies.

This evolution allowed him to create highly sophisticated home studios, reflecting the advanced capabilities available to today’s musicians. “Entomology” showcases his expertise and creativity, offering listeners a captivating auditory experience.
