about

'Life As We Know It', is the long awaited followup to The Franky Valentyn Project's brilliant 2017 album ‘All In A Dream’ (4Stars SMH).

And whilst ‘All In A Dream’ was described as a ‘theatrical powerhouse’ with tracks, that maybe only a possible collaboration between Rick Wakeman and Andrew Lloyd Webber could match, then 'Life As We Know It' had a lot to live up to!

However, not only did it's creator accept and overcome this challenge but they exceeded all expectations and have set new standards & boundaries for the creation of an Instrumental masterpieces!

'Life As We Know It' consists of 12 original instrumental tracks that cover every genre’ from Pop to Surf, Progressive to Classical, Regency to Folk, with each track reflecting a milestone moment in the Composers life, that will forever standout in their mind, until the very end.

There’d always be lot more that could be said about the background to these tracks, as each tells its own personal story in music, reflecting on a moment of happiness, joy, tragedy, uncertainty and possibly even a touch of accomplishment in being able to achieve all that can be heard here.

Briefly it’s about all that’s happened, it’s influences and effects not only on one person, but to many and what has been learnt, shared and gained from such a Life!

Especially a 'Life' As We Know It.
