It's my birthday today!
But more importantly, today marks the release of Looking Out, my first EP, after I've been working on it since last year!
After a few years where I only released individual pieces, I set myself this goal of making an EP, and I've now already begun to work on what could end up becoming an album. I've selected four tracks that I already released to be included in enhanced versions on the album, and all the rest will be brand new tracks.
Making this EP was also the occasion to learn more about mixing and mastering, as I've already mentioned in previous blog entries.
The EP is released today on YouTube and Bandcamp, and should be available on streaming services in a few days.
Enjoy Looking Out!

I just saw one of the best bands of all time yesterday night in Lyon: Magma!
I may have been born too late to see Pink Floyd, and not known that King Crimson were still touring last time they came nearby, but at least I can now say that I've seen Magma, and that's fucking badass.
Sadly, Stella Vander was not able to be with the band on tour, but the show was still great.
They played K.A, Auroville (a cover of Michel Graillier), Félicité Thösz, The Night We Died, and Ëhn Deïss. It doesn't sound like a lot of songs for people who might not know the band, but keep in mind K.A and Félicité Thösz take up two thirds of an almost two-hour show!
So basically I'm really happy right now.
By the way, mixing and mastering of my EP is almost done, I'll release it pretty soon, when I'm finished with work in uni.
See you next time!

After some time where I couldn't work on my EP, I can finally announce that all the tracks are now recorded!
The next objective before the release will be to do the mix and mastering on these tracks. For the occasion, I'll try to spend more time to actually learn how to do all of that, because until now I always did it kind of by instinct without real knowledge of what the best practices are.
How long it'll take will once again depend on the amount of free time I'll have, but I do hope that it will be all ready in the next couple of months.
If you haven't already, you can listen to WIP extracts from the EP on YouTube.
See you soon!

I did some modifications to my CSS to have some slightly better looking links.
Also the links in the header wiggle when you hover over them because I thought it was funny. The site is still unresponsive for mobile tho lmao
Anyways, I'm still working on my EP. I still have some parts that need to be recorded here and there but I'll soon be able to get into the mixing and mastering. For the occasion I decided to actually learn how to do that instead of trying to figure it out on my own, so it might take some more time as I try to make something correct.
In the meantime I also published on YouTube a series of "leftovers" ideas that didn't make the cut to become full tracks. If I end up never using them, at least they can be heard like that.
See you for the next post!

Hello and welcome to my website!
After almost a month of it being just a single page with a link to my YouTube channel, I finally took the time to code a somewhat decent site.
I had webdesign and coding courses during my studies so I could have made something more "modern" looking, but I just like ugly designs and so I decided to make it like this.
I'm not going to repeat everything I wrote in the About page, but basically this is mainly just a site to share the music I write, so I hope you'll enjoy it.
The site is not 100% done as of now, here's what remains to be done:
- Add some animations: for example stuff like links in the header or in the footer don't really do anything when you hover over them, just little details like that that I think would be nice.
- Responsive design: if you're on mobile right now you may have noticed that it's a bit broken in some places. But PC is superior anyway.
- Actually work on my music to have content: That's the hardest one.
I'll keep the blog updated with changes on the site.
Enjoy your visit!
