About Me

"THE BEAUTY OF THE PITS" DISPO A MAGIC BUS ET A LA FNAC, A GRENOBLE ET A LYON!! .Le maxi "The Beauty of The Pits" n'est que la partie émergée d'un projet bien plus large et ambitieux, commencé en 2003. A ce moment, et après une période de composition assez intense, j'ai décidé de pousser le projet aussi loin que possible. Les morceaux ont été développés, et enregistrés, au studio Silvia Music de Sofia, Bulgarie (mon second chez moi) d'Octobre 2004 à Août 2006, jusqu'à la complétion de l'album "The Mysterious Barricades", dont je révais depuis un certain temps...Celà étant, durant l'enregistrement, d'autres morceaux ont "surgis"...et nous y voilà: le mini-album "The Beauty of The Pits"...juste ma voix et ma fidèle 12-cordes.This project is just a part of a somehow bigger one. Whalefin was created in 2003. After a surge of many new songs I decided to push the project as far as I possibly could. The songs where recorded (and developped) in the Silvia Music Studio in Sofia, Bulgaria, from October 2004 to August 2006. Then "The Mysterious Barricades" album, which I had been dreaming of for a long time, was completed. While recording, new songs came, which lead to new recordings, and eventually to a short album, "The Beauty of The Pits", which contains acoustic songs. I mean, just voices and my faithfull (to say the least) 12-strings. So this is it...It's just been released! I do hope you'll like it. By the way: I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Oh yes...

Well that was really good tonight, if quite intimist: less than twenty people doesn't make a crowd... But it was good anyway: a real good feeling. Thanks to those who were there. I really enjoyed thes...
