About Me

Artesia started as a french female duet, which plays atmospheric music. The band has been formed in 2001 by Agathe (keyboards, choirs), and a first recording is made in june 2003 (8 titles/38 minutes), but the sound is very bad, it can’t be distributed. GaÃ«lle joined the band in September 2003 and it’s the beginning of the adventure. The first demo "l’Aube Morne" (5 titles/20 minutes) has been recorded in September 2004 and is now sold out! On December 2005, Artesia signed a deal with Prikosnovenie, a french label specialized in faÃ«rie and world music. The first album"Hilvern" is out on february 2006. In June 2007, the new album " Chants d’Automne" is out. In early 2008, Gaelle left the band for personnal reasons. Agathe is now working on the third album, helped by LoÃ¯c. You can find more informations about the band on the website (www.artesia-music.com) or on the label’s website ( www.prikosnovenie.com)
