Thierry Arnal:
“Musically speaking, no landmarks, just a soundscape in which you can’t hold on to anything. I rather like the idea of leaving the listener the choice to imagine what he wants while listening to a piece or an album, nothing is imposed. A really physical approach and absolutely not intellectualized.”
The albums succeeding ‘Eleven Days’ and ‘The Ephemeral Armour’ will be released in 2023 under the Atypeek Music label.
