WHEN THE TIME IS A PRESENT

French outfit STEVEGANE PROJECT is the creative vehicle of composer and instrumentalist Pascal Stevegane, an artist that doesn't reveal too much about his musical past, but it would appear that he has been involved in some capacity with Blackmore's Night if the album notes are to be trusted. "When the Time Is a Present" is the debut album by Stevegane Project, and was released by Musea Records in the fall of 2011.

"When the Time Is a Present" is a disc that most likely will have a finite target audience. People who deeply admire the emotional guitar excursions of instrumentalists like David Gilmour and Andrew Latimer, who tend to enjoy slow paced music emphasizing harmonic details and melodic arrangements, and who appreciate music that explores musical beauty without utilizing distinctly contrasting effects or sharper edges. Presumably an item that should be treasured by those who have albums by Gandalf, Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd side by side in their music collection.
