The Shadow Vol I and Vol II is The Tronosonic Experience's follow up to the critically acclaimed record The Big blow.The music on The Shadow Vol I and Vol II is influenced by both the more experimental hard rock of the seventies, like Ginger Baker's Airforce and King Crimson, and the meditative and contemplative vibe represented by the works of jazz artists Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders in the late seventies. The music on the albums is also influence by more modern progressive rock and heavy rock represented by bands like The Mars Volta, Clutch and Queens of the Stone Age.1. Sheik Pt. 1 2. Sheik Pt.23.

Like the 17th century French harpsichordists before her, Melisande McNabney draws on the musical universe during the time of Louis XIV and Louis XV. Inspired by song, the lute, the viola da gamba, and even the complete orchestra, harpsichordists of this era aimed to reproduce these sounds in their compositions and transcriptions. Like her predecessors, Melisande McNabney performs transcriptions for harpsichord. The award-winning Melisande McNabney plays keyboard music of all periods, on harpsichord, piano, and fortepiano. In August 2015 she received third prize at the International Competition Musica Antiqua in Bruges, Belgium. Ms McNabney is a graduate of the Amsterdam Conservatory, where she studied harpsichord, continuo and fortepiano with Bob van Asperen and Richard Egarr. She was granted her Doctorate at McGill University in May 2017, under the guidance of Hank Knox and Tom Beghin, thanks to the support of the Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarships Program. Very active on the concert scene, Melisande McNabney has appeared in solo recitals on such series as Clavecin en concert and Serie Jacques-Dansereau. She is regularly invited to play with revered ensembles.
