On being a fan, the Moon and Transatlantic S-Bahn
It’s 2PM in Quebec city and still a part of me is fully aware that it’s 8PM in Munich. It’s not even been 10 days since I’m back to Real Life, with family, friends, projects, shows…

Last Travel Chronicle
I close my eyes as I listen to your music, and instead of seeing colours and landscapes, I see your faces. I see the veins on the top of your hands as they play their instruments, I see your feet following the tempo. I see your half closed eyes and I can hear your deep,…

The Big Post of the February 1st Recap
Photo credit : Nana Dix (So this is it, the big post. It was written all day between meetings and travels…) I listen to the pulse of downtown Munich on a Monday morning and realize how silent the city was yesterday. Silent? Only outside. Because if you knew where to look out to, you would…

Travel Chronicle #4 – Protein Edition
There’s something utterly fascinating about feeling an artist watching you as you listen to their new or unreleased sounds for the first time. This moment when you say something about the track, it’s like taking a plunge into darkness, not knowing how far below the water is. Are you catching the essence on the first…

City of O by Pollyester (2015)
I warned you all about this incoming storm. The new Pollyester album is flying through the atmosphere like a storm of pink and gold glitter. It gets on everything. There’s something properly addictive about this album. It’s shiny. It’s glossy. It’s catchy as hell. It’s stand-alone pieces of perfection that are joined together by The…

Travel Chronicle #3 – KSWP Edition
You know what’s nice? That’s nice. I’m beginning to think there’s a masterplan at work to seduce me into staying in this city forever. We tried to find our way to the rehearsal room (yeah, the indications were totally needed), and found this steep set of metal stairs down what seemed like a redesigned sewer…

Travel Chronicle #2
I’ve literally chased the sun through an ocean yesterday. I watched the sun set on Quebec and I watched it rise on Bayern. I find it terribly poetic. Landing into surrealism is a vivid experience. The edges of reality seemed blurry from all the physical trauma of a 10 hours flight and sleep deprivation and…

Münchner Freiheit by Das Weiße Pferd (2015)
Can Münchner Freiheit be the cornerstone of a new era of intelligent, unpredictable and transcendent folk music, please? Can we make sure the wild White Horse will be elevated to mythological creature one day?

Travel Chronicle #1
Yeah I’ll try to do that… I once thought about interviews and stuff, but I feel like if I begin to live this amazing Adventure only through this blog’s eyes and necessities, I am gonna miss out on some important stuff. So we will see what kind of form this blog will take in the…

Leonie Singt (2015)
What are you seeing? Is that troubled, dangerous currents or soft waves hitting a rocky shore? Surprisingly, both produce similar sounds. Calming loops of busy noise, fading in, fading out, compelling you to breathe more profoundly, the high tide and the low tide waltzing with your senses.

Helldunkel by Protein (2014)
Schamoni – Bandcamp – Soundcloud Okay. To be honest I wanted to put this one on a later date because I just talked about Parasyte Woman, but, with the momentum of the European release with Indigo, it needed to happen now. Please bear with me as I need to tell you my Helldunkel story. *Or just skip next paragraph,…

Ghoaster Coaster by Murena Murena (2014)
Official website – Echokammer – Bandcamp So I continue my journey (this list will be updated 1-3 times a week until 2015 depending on my engagements) with an album that, quite frankly, is at the same time super heavy and super accessible. It’s not a kind release, it’s completely action-packed, and yet, from personal experience,…

Homeless Information by Parasyte Woman (2011)
Echokammer – Spotify – Soundcloud – Lyrics and album art I cannot not talk about how Parasyte Woman’s album Homeless Information was a key musical piece for me this year. Honestly, if I don’t listen to this album once a week, I feel deprivation. Together, Manuela’s voice, her unbelievably wide register and technique, and Protein’s talent for creating outer-worldly…
