Bio
.. ..Tunnel Vision...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. (Video by Drea at ..Frequency Films..) .... .. .... .."With this collaboration comes a sense of old unified with new, where the meshing of jazz, electronic and pop is as seductive as it is captivating. The artists have constructed a delicately deep story through ambient soundscapes, haunting vocals and the resonance of beautiful string instruments." - ..Lost At E Minor.. .... .."ein album voll verschlagener einfachheit, voll verückter unglaublichkeit, voll staunender kindlichkeit, seine größe: das waage halten von zwang und freizügigkeit, 4/5." - ..das klienicum.. .... .."Une carcasse aux formes pourtant étonnamment charnelles et sexy, bricolée à la main verte par Kevin C. Smith : instruments organiques épars et électronique discrète y forment un dédale nettement plus riche et complexe qu'une écoute discrète le laisserait supposer – un écrin de glace pour la voix pétrifiante d'Alina Simone, version cryogénisée de ..Nina Simone..." - ..Les Inrockuptibles.. .... .."It's all gloriously downbeat, beautifully desolate, naturally twisted and hugely impressive. The sound of raindrops glistening on the eyelashes of angels with dirty faces." - ..Tangents.. .... .."Brooklyn duo, The Artificial Sea, fashion melancholic, smoky jazz infused soundscapes that quietly crawl out of the speakers like silent tears from a weeping madonna." - ..The Devil Has The Best Tuna.. .... .."As much modern art as it is music, like a vast and complex sculptural installation, it forces the listener to think deeply about what they're hearing – about its meaning and symbolism, about what its creator is trying to convey. It is impossible to listen to The Artificial Sea and just let it wash over you. This is a highly thought provoking, highly intelligent piece of craftsmanship in musical form. Enchanting, mesmerising and simply sensational." - ..Noize Makes Enemies.. .... .."..City Island.. is a stunning debut from a duo who have clearly found a unique voice in a crowded genre. This is a group who truly deserve success and if they keep delivering music like this I'm sure they will succeed. From a disappointing start ..City Island.. soon became one of the finest albums I've heard all year. A masterpiece." - ..Ambient Falls.. .... .. .. -

This second installment of the Detour series invites the viewer to revisit the perceptual experiment conducted in Detour 1 only instead of presenting the images in a rapid succession, here they are slowly fragmented almost like a puzzle occasionally coming together to form complete images.
N'hésites pas à venir découvrir les morceaux de mon nouvel album "Miel et Poivre" sortie prévue le 30 septembre.
Au plaisir de se croiser!

A performance experiment consisting of nearly 3 hours of home video footage arranged in an edit timeline and manually scrubbed at high speed in an attempt to generate random sensory impressions similar to memory fragments within the viewer's mind from which a personal subliminal narrative can be derived, similar to that of a recovering amnesia patient.
hope all's good folks!
