Life update

Greetings from Northern Yorkshire! Seems to be a beautiful place, though I don't really see much of it as I'm exclusively focused on my music projects, finishing loads of tracks and creating other kind of content. I'm staying with my friend Sam in the property where his grand-parents used to live, before some other people will write a new chapter of this house.

Yesterday I finished a new track called "Scarabée Égyptien" to be released as part of a Various Artists compilation on Diffract Records. I'm happy to share the tracklist with people like Mononome, Dirty Art.

You might have noticed how I love to add either movie dialogs, field recordings or some bits of private conversations I have on the phone or in real life. In this one, you'll hear myself talking on the phone with my younger niece. She'll be 9 in March. She couldn't believe I went to England because "it's not possible. You don't know how to speak English." She's very creative. We can't hear that part, but she started the call pretending she was the police and that I've been flashed driving too fast.

I took the picture from the cover art in Portishead. The walking man is my friend Barnaby Carter. You can hear the track "They’ll Come With Joy" from his first album at the very end of this mix. He's finishing his second full-length, to be released in the Summer hopefully.

I’d like to express my gratitude towards Barn for hosting me in Bristol while I organise my new life in the UK.

I feel that this city is a perfect home for my music and overall creativity, and I’m lucky to have a good friend in this part of the world.

I actually got to know Barnaby because he discovered Eclectic Soul back in 2012 and sent me an e-mail to share his appreciation. Damn, been eight years already!

Enjoy the music, keep your mind and body fit.
