about

Prologue
Français

Lorsque j'étais en France, je pensais faire un prochain album avec des sonorités asiatiques. En arrivant en Asie, notament en Chine puis en Thaïlande, j'ai été surpris par le comportement des gens vis à vis de leur environnement. Il y a des sacs plastiques partout, les plages et les rivières sont polluées, les gens jettent leurs déchets là où ils se trouvent sans faire l'effort de jeter à la poubelle la plus proche. Personne ne nettoie, personne ne ramasse, personne ne protège, personne ne respecte. C'est très choquant et triste à la fois. Ceci m'a poussé à sortir cet album dédié à notre pauvre Terre qui est bien malmenée ces temps ci, ainsi qu'à tous les êtres vivants ! Car la détresse de la Terre est notre détresse à tous. Et car nous avons tendance à oublier que l'Homme et ses 3 millions d'années ne représentent que 0,00067% des 4.5 milliards d'années de l'âge de la Terre !


Cet album rassemble plusieurs genres musicaux, tout en restant axé sur la musique électro principalement. Les influences sont très diverses, il y a même du classique : il y a deux chansons jouées à l'orgue d'église (pipe organ). Les sonorités sont dans l'ensemble toujours assez "Dark" comme on me l'avait fait remarqué pour mon premier album. Donc avis aux amateurs ! Et désolé pour les autres, mais qui sait, tentez une écoute et peut-être que vous changeriez d'avis ? Tout ce que je souhaite c'est de parvenir à vous faire ressentir ma tristesse sur le sort de notre pauvre Terre, et de vous sensibiliser à la protection de ce qui nous reste.



Bonne écoute !




English

While I was in France, I wanted my next album to have some asian feeling. When I arrived in Asia, in China and in Thailand, I was surprised by the behavior of the local people. There are plastic bags everywhere, beaches and rivers are polluted to a level you can't imagine, the inhabitants throw their rubbishes right where they stand without making any effort to move to the nearest trash bin. Nobody cleanses, nobody picks up the rubbish, nobody protects or respects the environment. It's a very shocking and sad thing to see. This motivated me to release this album dedicated to our poor and bullied Earth, as well as to all the living beings. Because the distress of the Earth is the distress of all of us. And because we tend to easily forget that Mankind with its 3 millions of years only represents 0.00067% of 4.5 billions of years, the age of our Earth!



This album features various music styles, but is mainly axed on electro music. The influences are diverse, even classical: there are two songs played with a church organ (also known as pipe organ). The general mood of this album is still quite "dark", as people had noticed on my first album. So fans should appreciate this album also :). And sorry for the others, but who knows, try it and maybe you would change your opinion? I just have one wish, I hope I can make you feel my sorrow about the fate of our poor Earth and make you want to protect what is remaining at all price.



Good listening !
