Album #3: La vie sous la mer

After a difficult summer, I finally finished my third major album, La vie sous la mer (or, “Life under the sea”). My music had changed. Passing through the fire had somehow made me stronger. The songs became stories, and the stories became a world. This album is jazzier, stranger, and more exotic than anything I’ve ever done before.

Where to find it

Have a listen. It is available on Jamendo, as a full album.*

* Note: On the version which was released on Jamendo, the order of tracks 7 and 8 was reversed. The shorter song with the acoustic guitar intro should be “150 years later”, track #8; the longer of the two (with the bass in 5/4) should be “Werewolf.”

The Companion Book

However, after the album was completed, I realized I didn’t want the world I’d lived in to vanish. My songs are instrumentals, and yet these songs tell a series of interconnected stories. If you listen to the album and want to find out more, I wrote all the stories, secrets, and spoilers in a miniature book, which you can download here:
