Cirkus is Alain Proulx (bass, keys, drums, vocals) who has also written, composed and arranged the songs with the contribution of Serge Doucet for guitar arrangements and C. Lucas Proulx for vocal arrangements. Alain is a producer of music since the late 70's and has made some soundtrack music. This double concept album "Wild Dogs" contains old songs from that period plus more recent songs. The music is taking the symphonic Prog Rock 70's sound adding exotic rhythms, classical and musical comedy music. You can hear influences from Genesis and Mick Oldfield. This double concept album about the battle of two dogs one evil and one good contains long epics with plenty of different atmospheres and moods to make it a 2 hours and twenty minutes journey…
Cirkus is a progressive rock band that brings the listener into a universe where musical aesthetics span from classical to jazz, passing to musical comedy and world textures from the main cultural streams.
The Fruits of the Unveil is different from the two previous albums of the band by the fact that there was no creative guideline. The only goal we had was to build a whole with songs that would fit together to give something with its own personality. The approach is quite more intimate and, in a certain way more progressive. We can easily feel the waves that move us from quiet harmonies to powerful peaks.
