Lucien Desar
- Composer
Lucien Désar was born in Georgetown South Carolina. A childhood fear of anything Désar considered "haunting" - including ghosts, vampires, graveyards, and death itself -has developed into his personal obsession, one that became fostered by the goth revival that blossomed in the American music underground during the late Nineties. Fueled by diverse cultural inspirations - the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Graeme Revell, and Peter Murphy; the photography of ManRay; the artwork of Edward Gorey; the films of Tim Burton; the literature of Shakespeare, Keats, and Poe - and also influenced by Celtic, renaissance, jazz, Caribbean, German, Italian, and African musical styles and rhythms - Désar reveals his dark passions in the gothic rock and neo-classical styles prevalent in his work.
