about

Hello there,

I’m happy to release Laepoditia. It’s been a year since I’ve gathered sounds to finally make into this form of collected songs. I didn’t have a precise idea of what the record would sound like, it was also the first time I was going to release something I recorded by myself.

It’s a record that’s been made here and there, a lot in a chapel situated in a convent in the east of France, some in Antwerp, some in Paris.
But I have to say that the chapel was a foundation to make this album.
I came there last Spring to sing, create sounds, I had the chance to record birds that joined too outside the chapel. Some of the recordings have been remixed but most of them have the natural reverb of that chapel. I used a synth oscillator as an instrument to create sounds and a loop pedal as well.

This year was filled with a lot of grief, happiness of always new and shifting environment, and people.

The moth is an important part of this record, the only song that I have written is about them. I was inspired by the lights that came thought the windows of the chapel. Moths were flying around, stuck in the chapel. I tried to rescue them, but many of them were weakened. I finally chose to let them be. Witnessing their shortness of life.

Letting through the light, and accepting that fragile state of being.

This album is dedicated to Jacqueline Rateau.
I would like to thank PAF, Marion, Lyne, my sister Alice, Karolina, as well as Zoe Heselton and Leonie Risjeterre for their support over the years.
