Dear friends,
Some news about my musical projects...
I have two albums scheduled for release between the beginning of April and the beginning of May.
The first, "Akousmata", will be released on Driftworks, the web label created by my friend Andrew Heath, as a CD in two limited editions, and as a digital download.
The second, "Views of Mind", has been accepted by Paul at Shimmering Moods Records, again with a limited-edition CD release.
A third album project, "The Northwest Passage", is nearing completion and has been accepted by a no less prestigious label for release in late 2025 or early 2026.
Entrusting my music to specialized labels, driven by a true artistic vision, with their network of contacts and fans, is a way for an independent musician like me to widen the circulation of my music, to make it live and breathe, to make it resonate with that of the artists featured on these labels: whoever is alike comes together, in the plural of sensibilities and inspirations, musical skills and personal histories...
I am infinitely grateful to these courageous label managers, guided by their love of music and their artistic vision, against all odds.
At the same time, I'll be continuing to add new musical projects to my Bandcamp page.
I've got several on the go.
I'm determined to pursue my path, my vision and the logic of my creative journey.
I will not bend to the injunctions of the guardians of the temple of well-tempered ambient who dismiss my music from playlists because it's too much of this, and not enough of that.
I'm trying, at my modest level, to chart a course for a musician of integrity and without compromise.
The recognition of a small circle of connoisseurs is more important to me than the statistics of Spotify's algorithmic circus, where my tracks are lost in the flux of fast listening...
Last but not least: deep thanks to all the podcasts and radio programmers, blogs and magazines reviewers who support my creative journey... You are so precious!
