THE GLASS FORTRESS
A free adaptation of
Zamyatin’s prospective novel “We”, this concept album will take you in the wake
of D–503 and I–330, two freedom-and-passion loving people.
A Dystopia tinged with
Revolutionary Romanticism, first of its kind.
Album available from
January 15th 2015
Rémi Orts
Brave New World, 1984, The Wall, Equilibrium and
more recently The Hunger Games:
modern culture is haunted by the spectre of extremely well-organized societies
whose apparent perfection conceals dark dictatorial worlds.
If this formal exercise is known to all, what is the intimate origin, the true source of its inspiration?
In fact, everything comes from a small Russian sci-fi novel published in 1920 by Yevgeny Zamyatin, "We ".
Rémi Orts Project and Alan B wish to pay tribute to this counter-utopia, first of its kind, by revisiting it in their concept album, “The Glass Fortress”.

Let yourself be taken in the wake of Daniel and Iris, two human beings opposed in every way, that nonetheless will rejoin in the same destiny, the choice of Life, even at their own peril...
Adapted from this album, a short film, innovative and moving, will be released in April 2015 with the collaboration of the talented photographer, Fanny Storck.
