On That Day (Ásgeir Cover)

Here is my humble take on Quicksand, from Björk's latest album Vulnicura. This is my first time using drums on Garageband, and I might have gone a little bit overboard with that part. Enjoy!

Renewed Wilderness

I wrote this song years ago on the train back home from a New Years party. I was staring outside when suddenly the clouds formed the shape of a giant crow rising from behind the buildings, and perhaps it was magic, perhaps it was the hangover, but i got inspired and wrote a song about it.

The Omen

I tried to cover Anohni's beautiful "4 Degrees", but once I got where I wanted with the instrumental (100% Garageband), I realised there was no way my cover was going to bring anything more to this song. Anohni's voice is so powerful that I've decided to leave this one as it is: an exercise in digital composing.

Hello to all the fans! Hope you both had a great summer! There's a few music projects coming up, which I'm really excited about, but let's start with this quick cover of the Great Dolly Parton, best played when you wonder whether this lover of yours will ever reply to your texts...

Do I Ever Cross Your Mind

Backdrifts (Radiohead cover)

Samson (Regina Spektor cover)

My first cover in Greek !
Marina Satti (& friends)did a wonderful job covering this traditional song, and since I've been singing it for two months, I figured I might give it a go myself. It just makes you want to sit in a circle with your friends and sing it endlessly... 

Hope you'll enjoy!

Montagne Que Tu Es Haute - Air traditionnel

Montagne que tu es haute

Montagne Que Tu Es Haute

"Namárië" is a poem by J. R. R. Tolkien written in Quenya, a constructed language, and published for the first time in The Lord of the Rings. The Quenya word 'namárië' is a reduced form of 'á na márië', an Elvish formula used for greeting and for farewell. (Wikipedia)

It's that time of year when I need to say goodbye to some things so that I can welcome the new in my life. 
A huge thank you to my friend Claire for inviting me to revisit this poem in song.

Words by J.R.R. Tolkien, music improvised by me.

Je vous jure que ça fait des mois que je parle de faire une reprise de cette chanson... Qui est en fait le tout premier extrait d'une compilation à venir intitulée "Trésors Folk Qui S'ignorent". Bonne écoute! Et restez chez vous :)

I swear I've had plans to cover this song for ages... This is actually a very early glimpse into my future EP "Unrenowned Folk Treasures". Enjoy! and stay home :)

The Rhythm Of The Night (Corona Cover)

After a few years playing music for my collection of plastic dinosaurs, I've decided to share it here.

One day I'll play in front of people.
