It ultimately wasn\u2019t used: the cello often carries that melancholic sweetness so unique to it, and it weighed the film down a bit. So I dug it up, reworked it, and pushed it towards an almost epic boldness. It\u2019s an ideal way to kick off the journey this album offers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The title of the piece also plays with the etymology of the word \u201cd\u00e9sir\u201d, which shares the same root as the word \u201csid\u00e9ral\u201d, placing the track in a resonance that is both intimate and cosmic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a passionate piece, played with searching expression by the cellist \u2013 whose accents bring a humid, almost Mediterranean flavour to the track. I was reminded, in a good way, of the music of Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>D\u00e9sir des astres<\/em> follows the single release of the album\u2019s opening track, <em>World of Idols<\/em>, in edit form:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gaspar Claus - World of Idols (Edit)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Lg9vmSGNdo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>CELLS<\/em> will be released on Biovinyl LP and Digipack CD (all-paper packaging), with all details on the Bandcamp link below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"120\" style=\"position: relative; display: block; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/v=2\/album=3832159889\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Published post no.2,905 \u2013 Tuesday 2 June 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;appId=249643311490&version=v2.3\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source arcana.fm \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Ben Hogwood, incorporating text from the press release Gaspar Claus has announced a new album, CELLS, featuring collaborations with Matt Elliott (The Third Eye Foundations) and producer Basile3.
