Bring me back home (2024)

Originally there was an album called "Defiance" with only very lo-fi guitar/voice recordings.

​

Some songs deserved a better outlet, so there came this little homemade album.

Lyrics for "After all these years" by Doug Alford

Ad astra (per alas porci) (2023)

Rework on old songs to fix them in the better way possible.

​

"Pigasus" is a pun used by John Steinbeck writing alongside the latin motto : "to the stars on the wings of a pig"

​

"Don't shake me, I'm full of tears" comes from the last words Henri Calet wrote before he died :

​

"It's on my heart's skin that you'll find wrinkles. Is it already time to leave each other? Don't shake me, I'm full of tears"

Iowa (2023)

In 2018, Elvy Jean met Arnaud Ghilain, multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer, with whom he collaborated for more professional recordings of his guitar/piano/voice material. Arnaud added bass (or double bass) and some synths. These episodic recordings led in 2022 to enough songs to make up an album. Arnaud shared the mixing process with a close friend from Quebec, Dominique Massicotte. The Australian Cefe Flynn mastered the album.

Other participants chimed in, such as the actress Christelle Cornil on backing vocals and Hendrik van Wagensveld on the piano for the title « Solitude ».
