Who is Arz Noir? Well it's me. A musician who lives in Miami, Florida and records music under the name Arz Noir, although my real name is Michael Menendez. I currently have a few albums on Itunes and Amazon.com and I invite everyone to give a listen and post comments or feedback. I decided to do a blog rather than a website because it's cheaper and easier for me to share information. From time to time, I will update information about my upcoming projects, successes and failures. You can also check me out on myspace.com/arznoir. If you like to be on my mailing list please send an email to mm6636@hotmail.comCurrently, My new album is, "The Legend of Loup-Garou," published through BMI and available on Itunes and through Amazon under my record label, Arz Nova Records. Right now, the album is available only on CD and download, although I imagine a vinyl release sometime in the near future. This recent release is an electronic instrumental concept album. I was inspired by the works of Brian Eno and his idea to make Soundtracks or ambient music for a given space. For example, one of Eno's albums is titled, Music for airports, in which he conceptually designed ambient music to fill the space or environment of a given airport.
In my case, "The Legend of Loup-Garou," is a fictional movie about a werewolf that has caused some trouble in a small southern French town in the early 1890's. The town's elders call upon and hire a notorious Werewolf Hunter named, The German who has a grim appearance and a clubbed left hand. To make a long story short, the German succeeds in destroying the Werewolf. However, why is he so successful? Could it be that he is also a Werewolf?
The soundtrack takes you through the major scenes of this fictional movie and allows the listener to fill in the blanks with their own version of the movie.
