i love the music that you make. all of it. i'm a real fan.

Ce truc est habité. De l’âme et de l’humanité. C’est une belle impro. Je pensais l’avoir déjà écoutée et commentée. Ben non… plus toute ma tête en ce moment. En tout cas, j’adore!

L’intro est vraiment très pure et belle…

You really manage to take the mandolin in a new direction. This is a sweet emotive composition as well nice work.

This began to plat accidentally, and grabbed me immediately. I couldn't stop listening. Moments of real beauty

Teth Sin finally seems to be back with a cool wicked track called Gazelle, featuring his friend Luna on vocals/recitation. She decorated with her vivid poetry one of those creepy, dark soundscapes I've been working on these last few months. I sincerely thank her for this amazing contribution, and for her active involvement in the whole creative process of this title. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it.

Uncrowned queens, warrior princes,
the tiger flies in the air.
The flag howls in the cold of the sad west, and blond curls win.
The panther's lost the game, watching the sun.
The Gazelle weeps on her broken leg.
And she's alive

Rough piece on the mandolin for this afternoon. You can even hear some sloppy fingering - proof that it's not generated by a computer (although...).
In French, "arbre à palabres" refers to the tree under which people gather to discuss, debate or listen to the village sage. It's a tradition usually associated with some African cultures but you've probably seen it somewhere else - people talking under the shade of a tree.

Something a bit more jazzy and optimistic. Hopefully everything will get easier.

During the first days of this newly started pandemic era, I couldn't help but rereading Sophocles' tragedy "Oedipus the king" and meditate on how it was meant to be interpreted at the time of its first mise-en-scène. Despite being normally considered today as a quintessential hero (and victim) of rational (self-) knowledge, following the subsequent Aristotelian interpretation of this character, my impression is that Oedipus, holder of the political power, is somehow pressured to investigate his own roots (and infamy) by the public of his subjects asking him for a solution to the plague infesting their town, more than by his own, allegedly inquiring will. Oedipus' behaviour, consisting in minimizing the extent of the plague and claiming to be doing every effort in order to fight it at first, then panicking as more as his responsibility (and his sin...) becomes clear to everyone, somehow reminded me of our current, global situation; so I've tried to portray it by recording this experimental track. The recited ancient Greek text is drawn from the initial verse of Sophocles' work, and this is its English translation:

"My children, latest generation born from Cadmus,
why are you sitting here
with wreathed sticks in supplication to me,
while the city fills with incense,
chants, and cries of pain?"

ὦ τέκνα, Κάδμου τοῦ πάλαι νέα τροφή,
τίνας ποθ᾽ ἕδρας τάσδε μοι θοάζετε
ἱκτηρίοις κλάδοισιν ἐξεστεμμένοι;
πόλις δ᾽ ὁμοῦ μὲν θυμιαμάτων γέμει,
ὁμοῦ δὲ παιάνων τε καὶ στεναγμάτων

This track is dedicated to my friend Thomas @ansound-655183295

Hey there, here is my new single 'US Against the World' hope you like it! :)

Us Against The Word

First album, "That's Sin", is out on Bandcamp @ https://tethsin.bandcamp.com/album/thats-sin

Playing and creating some music, drawing cartoons and baking bread. That's what I like to do!
I play guitar and mandolin. I used to play sitar and learn Hindustani music - but not anymore - so you might hear some influence in my music, especially the pieces with mandolin. I don't play accordion, despite my profile photo. I wish I could pay it though, and many other instruments.

Some selected reviews written by my cat in the in-house Music & Arts magazine: 

"The equivalent of an acoustic waterboarding!"
"Music? What music?"
"Just noise"
"No place to sleep with all these instruments"
"A daily torture"
"I wish I was deaf"
"Noise arrogantly called music"
"A pleasure... when it stops"
"Can't even unsubscribe to this"

I'm very glad to have stumbled upon very fine artists on Soundcloud and honored to have collaborated with some very talented individuals.
