"Sea Of Decay" is a reference to the film Nausicaä. I wrote a big part of it during my tour in Japan. It’s about the environmental change and that metaphorically everything passes by and ends up being lost forever.

During my tour in Japan last year my painter grandmother from Paris died, I was completely off grid playing this miraculous festival called Life Force in the mountains of Shizuoka. "The Hand Follows The Eye" is based on her, it’s a reference and honor of her use in movement of color.

Feel It For A While is about taking on new journeys, waving goodbye to that which is familiar out of the window. Going with the feeling of unfamiliarity instead of fighting it.

I wrote the piece "Smokestacks, Shorelines" during my Tokyo - Osaka bus trip last year. It's very inspired by the heavy coastal industries along the Japanese coast (like Hamamatsu and Nagoya)
It's from my 7 piece mini album Shiny Silver Lining that will appear next month.
"The main threads of Shiny Silver Lining are those things that come along the way that you didn’t envision in the first place. It’s a change of scenery, transitions, change of seasons, things that get lost, replacing the old veins by growing new arteries and paths, feeling lost in translation, feeling foreign in the familiarity. The color of transformation. It’s about finding positivity in things that get worn out and seeing the good things of dark brooding clouds and waves that are 100 feet high that keep on coming to crush you and all you can do is float."
