Lowlander A brilliant debut with a haunting sound and intriguing aesthetic. The album pulls the listener into a world of mystery, and invokes pictures in the mind of summers long ago. Favorite track: Minuit au château.

※ A project based on undated handwritten music archives
from Castel Balma “Les lanternes” (France), found in the remains of the estate's manor house ※

« Et les roses ! Elles jaillissaient des herbes folles, enlaçaient le cadran solaire, festonnaient le tronc des arbres, s’accrochaient aux branches, escaladaient les murs, retombaient en longues guirlandes ou en cascades. Elles s’étaient mises à revivre, jour après jour. Toutes, elles s’étaient épanouies et leur parfum embaumait l’air »
(‘Le jardin secret’ - Frances Hodgson Burnett)

« He belonged to a walled city of fifteenth century, a city of narrow, cobbled streets, and thin spires, where the inhabitants wore pointed shoes and worsted hose. His face was arresting, sensitive, medieval in some strange inexplicable way, and I was reminded of a portrait seen in a gallery, I had forgotten where, of a certain Gentleman Unknown. Could one but rob him of his English tweeds, and put him in black, with lace at his throat and wrists, he would stare down at us in our new world from a long-distant past – a past where men walked cloaked at night, and stood in the shadow of old doorways, a past of narrow stairways and dim dungeons, a past of whispers in the dark, of shimmering rapier blades, of silent, exquisite courtesy »
(‘Rebecca’ - Daphné du Maurier)

« An introspective journey accompanied by images and paintings for the reminiscence of a distant era » ※ « Some of the books in the mansion's library can revive memories of an ancient past »

Artwork with paintings by :
Victor Dumont (1829-1913), Carl Schweninger the Younger (1854-1912), Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), Santiago Rusiñol (1861-1931), Edward Adveno Brooke (1821-1910), Gaston de La Touche (1854-1913) and R.G. Reeve (1780-1835)

All the melodies were composed on a Casio synthesizer, then a microphone was used to capture track by track the audio coming from the keyboard speakers. Computer was then used for the assembling, tweaking, and mixing phase.


- Through the recovered archives of the Castel Balma estate, Lamento Dex explores the memories and remembrance of a place and of those who lived or stayed there -

"Que la clarté des jours resplendisse à nouveau pour que resurgisse le souvenir des nuits anciennes" ※ "May the brightness of the days shine again so that the memory of the ancient nights resurface"
