About the album
Composers BOB & BILL (Guy Dubuc and Marc Lessard from TOTEM) have been brought back with a mission to create a unique, raw sound for Amaluna, and to surprise by means of the unexpected. They succeeded in evolving Cirque du Soleil music by incorporating heavy rock infl uences and a vivacious all-girl band. This is by far the edgiest work Cirque du Soleil has done to date: a guitar-oriented electronic anthem.
Amaluna marks the first time a Cirque du Soleil show works with an all-female group of musicians. With strong present guitars, the overall sound is resolutely contemporary. Bass, drums, cello, vocals, keyboards, percussion support the guitars in delivering a direct music without embellishment. “We wanted to unleash the power in the raw state that artists and musicians bring to the stage,” explain BOB & BILL. BOB & BILL are known
for their ability to blur the lines between genres and styles to create an intricately woven
visual style that supports the show’s narrative.
