Artist History Acknowledged as one of the pioneers of New Age music in Canada, Pascal released his first album, “Minos ” in 1978. Two other albums followed including “De Harmonia Universalia” in 1980, where he first used evocations of Gregorian Chants which became a touchstone of his later works. A few years later, Pascal explored a completely different avenue in music, when known as TRANS-X, he achieved worldwide success with the hit single “Living On Video.” This pioneering masterpiece of pop electronica sold over 2 million copies, reached Top Ten on the British and European charts, and also garnered a platinum record in Mexico , a prestigious 'Felix' Award in Quebec, and has become a perennial classic on Modern Rock, Urban Crossover, and Dance radio. Pascal’s varied musical career has brought him to Los Angeles, Paris, Barcelona, and most currently back to Montreal.
