Interview with Transverse
What’s the story behind your latest song/album?
The story behind my latest song (I Know) is a suicide day prevention song. It is about not letting the past hurt your future. A lot of people tragically end their life due to past regrets. With vocals and help with the lyrics provided by Mycal Timara, her and I wanted to make something that will really resonate with people.
How has your creative process evolved over the years?
My creative process has evolved exceedingly over the years. In fact, just my creativity has grown in general. I started out producing on Soundtrap studio, and using loops to create my tracks. Over the years, I slowly transitioned to using FL Studio’s sounds and making my own loops and such to create my tracks in there. Now I fully use FL Studio, with using Soundtrap to record vocals, and I am still learning all around. Looking forward to continuing to grow even more using cool features on that software too.

Is there a specific moment in your career that felt like a turning point?
Throughout my career, I have had multiple moments where things have just clicked it felt like. One specific moment where it felt like a turning point was where I released my very first song with vocals in 2019. Before that, I was making EDM instrumentals, and when I had that song with vocals, it really resonated with people ALONG with the sounds I use to produce. That was my big moment where it felt like this is what I was meant to do. I then later on released probably my most iconic track to this day, “You & I” with vocals provided by N!kk!.
What’s one misconception people have about being a musician?
One misconception is that no musician has ever made their first track perfect. You grow over time. Even your first few tracks, as you continue to make songs, may seem like they are not good, but it’s because you are still learning and still making progress. Even the top, most successful musicians, have tracks that are better than others, which means there’s not really a perfect song. You can make something SOUND objectively perfect, but even that takes a lot of time and effort. So, perfectionism is a myth for beginners.
Who or what has been inspiring your music lately?
Lately, I’ve been getting inspired a lot by SABAI. I love his emotional styles drops and beautiful soft melodies that just make everything feel like it’s going to be alright. I’ve always been inspired by The Chainsmokers (especially their old style), or Lauv, but lately it’s definitely been SABAI’s music.
Can you share a memorable or unexpected moment from a live performance?
An unexpected moment from my first ever live performance is I performed with Katherine, and my cousin who filled in for other singers who couldn’t be there, and we performed at a Church prom, where they set up “a night in Paris” theme or something like that. At the end of my set, we were getting done performing “You & I” and Katherine did a super cool spin. Now, this is barely noticeable on the actual performance video but if you see it, it’s really funny where she spins and accidentally knocks down a bit of the set piece in front of her, to which she quickly stops and kind of makes a surprised face. I didn’t notice it while we were performing, but afterwards, she told me about it and we laughed for a while, cause that was definitely unexpected and memorable.
How do you handle creative blocks or self-doubt?
How I handle creative blocks or self doubt is by keeping the end goal in mind. I believe that regardless of what genre I am supposed to make, what my music is supposed to sound like, or simply if I am even supposed to be making music, I remember I know I am meant to help people. Help people with whatever they need in their life simply by the vibes of my music. It helps me keep on going when I get stuck on a song, or stuck deep in a self-doubting hole which people may be surprised to know that it actually does happen a lot, and every time the reminder of helping people that I give myself, ALWAYS helps.
If you could collaborate with any artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?
If I could collaborate with any artist, I think I would either say Rosé or Justin Bieber. Rosé has a really solid tone in her voice that I feel would work really great with my styled beats, and Justin Bieber, I am personally a fan of his and believe he is one of the best singers today, and I think with the emotion he puts into his tracks, we would make something really cool together.
What’s a piece of advice you wish you had received earlier in your career?
A piece of advice I wish I had received earlier would definitely be to not overdo things. A lot of my fans know about this certain thing for me, as I have mentioned it before, but it really is so important. I wish I knew that you didn’t have to overdo compression, or equalizing, or limiting to make something loud ALL the time. Otherwise, the whole track either sounds lifeless, harsh or worse, at points both, which is sometimes what would happen to me haha. You just have to apply enough effects to things, to make them sound good. If it sounds good, it works, and if everything that you put into a track sounds good together, then it definitely works and that’s really most of what any beginner needs to know at the start.
What’s next for you—any exciting projects or goals on the horizon?
Next for me is actually working on remastering old projects that I made a long time ago. I’ve already started on some and it’s been pretty fun getting to go back and hear the old things I used to do when making music and also getting the chance to turn my old idea into how I want my music to sound currently. I’ll be releasing these projects in the near future, and I can’t wait for people to hear them.
Interview with Mikhaelize
What’s the story behind your latest song/album?
“Sur Ses Chemins” began with a simple question: can music reconcile paradoxes that words alone cannot? Not through explanation, but through feeling. The song emerged from that space where poetry and sound meet—where you stop trying to understand and simply allow yourself to experience. The opening line, “Je marche sur ses chemins que tu ne sais pas” (I walk on his paths that you do not know), is an invitation. It’s saying: there are invisible dimensions within us all, territories of the heart and soul that can’t be mapped with logic. For 5 minutes and 23 seconds, I wanted to create a soundscape that feels like walking through those inner landscapes—misty forests at dawn, dizzying precipices, oceans reflecting starlight. The instrumentation carries its own story. The djembé—this ancient West African drum—became the heartbeat of the quest. Its pulse is primal, almost ritualistic. When paired with the warmth of acoustic guitar, something alchemical happens. It’s earthy yet transcendent, grounded yet reaching toward something infinite. What moves me most is the final line: “Ses yeux étaient couleur océan” (His eyes were ocean-colored). This phrase carries a double truth—it speaks of the Ocean Goddess herself, this primordial and infinite force, but also of a real woman, a muse who embodies that same divine essence. As if the sacred chose to take flesh in a gaze. The song suggests that this entire outward journey was perhaps a quest to find this union of divine and human, of infinity and the instant, in the eyes of a single person.
How has your creative process evolved over the years?
In the beginning, I would capture emotions as they came—pure, unfiltered, spontaneous. There was beauty in that rawness, but also a certain chaos. Songs would emerge like dreams: vivid, powerful, but sometimes structurally fragmented. The evolution has been learning to honor both the lightning bolt and the architecture. Now, I give myself space to dream freely, but I’ve also developed ways to hold those dreams intact—to translate them from fleeting emotional states into something others can enter and experience fully. For “Sur Ses Chemins,” this meant creating a visual universe that extends the music beyond sound. I see each song as the center of a constellation—music, yes, but also images, movement, light. The Spotify Canvas, for instance, isn’t decoration. It’s the music breathing visually, cosmic veils and waves of light synchronized with the song’s undulations. When you watch it, you’re not just seeing the music—you’re experiencing another dimension of the same journey. This approach has freed me. I’m no longer constrained by thinking music lives only in the ears. It can live in the eyes, in the body, in spaces between breath and heartbeat. The creative process has become more like building doorways into worlds rather than just writing songs.

Is there a specific moment in your career that felt like a turning point?
The turning point came when I stopped treating music and image as separate art forms and started seeing them as conversations—two languages speaking the same truth. I’d always had these expansive visions. Not just sonic, but visual, narrative, immersive. For a long time, I thought executing them was impossible without resources I didn’t have. I felt trapped between the vision and the reality. Then something shifted. I realized the limitations I had—the lack of a full band, no access to expensive video production, no industry machinery behind me—those weren’t obstacles. They were invitations to find my own voice, my own visual language. The first time I saw the complete visual world for “Sur Ses Chemins” come alive—the misty forests, the luminous paths appearing, the spiral descent into crystal cathedrals—I knew I’d discovered something deeper than a workaround. I’d found a new way of creating that was uniquely mine. That moment freed me from wondering about “the right way.” Instead, it became about creative tension—the drive to go further, to transcend, to intentionally bring depth through multi-layered harmonies woven into the musical fabric. I could honor the organic warmth of acoustic folk—the djembé’s ritual pulse, the guitar’s wooden intimacy—while creating visual worlds that amplified the emotional journey. The craft didn’t dilute the authenticity; it revealed dimensions I’d always felt but couldn’t fully express before. That synthesis—where you can’t tell where the soul ends and the craft begins—that’s when everything changed.
What’s one misconception people have about being a musician?
The biggest misconception? That if you have enough passion and talent, the art will just flow and the audience will naturally find you. Reality is much more layered. Being an independent musician today means wearing many hats—you’re composer, performer, visual artist, storyteller, curator of your own world. The romantic myth of the “pure artist” who only creates while someone else handles everything? That exists for maybe 1% of musicians. For the rest of us, the art is inseparable from the work of bringing it into the world. People are also surprised when I talk about the depth of craft involved. Creating a complete universe around a song—the visual world, the narrative arc, the way images breathe with the music—requires not just inspiration but meticulous attention to detail. The Canvas for “Sur Ses Chemins,” with its cosmic veils and synchronized light patterns, took as much care as the song itself. Another myth: stability. The reality is constant movement between creation, sharing, adapting, learning. But for those of us who can’t imagine doing anything else, that instability becomes part of the adventure. The misconception I most want to challenge is that using contemporary creative tools makes art “less authentic.” When someone experiences “Sur Ses Chemins”—the warmth of the acoustic guitar, the primal pulse of the djembé, the emotional weight in the voice—none of that becomes less real because the accompanying visuals were created through modern methods. Authenticity lives in the intention, the vulnerability, the truth being channeled. The heart of the song—its truth—that’s what matters. The methods are just doorways.
Who or what has been inspiring your music lately?
Lately, I’m fascinated by the conversation between ancient wisdom and contemporary expression—how eternal truths keep finding new forms to inhabit. Musically, I’m drawn to artists who understand restraint. Who know that sometimes the most powerful moment is the silence between notes, the breath before the next phrase. Acoustic folk musicians who can make you feel an entire cosmos in a simple chord progression. That’s the lineage “Sur Ses Chemins” comes from—stripped-back production that lets emotion breathe without artifice. Visually, I’m inspired by sacred geometry—the patterns that repeat across all scales of existence. The spiral of galaxies mirroring the unfurling of ferns. In the visual world I created for “Sur Ses Chemins,” you see this: light revealing eternal pathways, the protagonist centered in a living mandala, cosmic temples with figures at the heart of universal geometry. These aren’t random images—they’re the visual language of timeless transformation. Philosophically, I’m inspired by the mystery itself. The more I create, the less I claim to understand. There’s something beautiful about making art that asks questions rather than providing answers. About creating spaces where listeners find meanings I never consciously intended. Someone recently told me that watching the visual sequence—where musical notes escape as luminous particles—made them cry because it captured their experience of finding their voice after years of silence. I didn’t plan that specific interpretation, but the art held space for it. That co-creation between artist and audience? That’s endlessly inspiring.
Can you share a memorable or unexpected moment from a live performance?
Most of my recent work has been in creating immersive visual worlds that complement the music. But there was one intimate acoustic session in a small venue, maybe 30 people, where something profound happened. I was performing “Sur Ses Chemins,” and there’s this moment midway where I hold a long note on “vers l’infini” (toward infinity). That night, my voice cracked—not technically failing, but breaking in that raw way that happens when emotion overwhelms technique. For a split second, I felt that performer’s panic: “I messed up.” But instead of awkward silence, there was this collective intake of breath from the audience. When I looked up, people had tears streaming down their faces. After the show, multiple people told me that that moment—the crack in my voice—was when the song truly reached them. One person said, “That’s when I knew you weren’t just performing. You were living it.” It shattered something I’d believed: that audiences want perfection. They don’t. They want truth. They want to witness a human being experiencing something real, even—especially—when it means losing control for a moment. Since then, I’ve stopped hiding those moments. If my voice breaks during “Chante…” (Sing…), if I need to pause to breathe through the emotion of “Ses yeux étaient couleur océan” (His eyes were ocean-colored), if the djembé rhythm gets a bit wild and untamed—I let it. Because that’s where the truth lives, in those unguarded moments that no amount of rehearsal can manufacture. Perfection is sterile. Vulnerability connects.
How do you handle creative blocks or self-doubt?
Creative blocks used to terrify me. I’d interpret them as evidence that I wasn’t a “real” artist, that the well had run dry. Now I understand them as a natural part of the creative cycle—like winter before spring. When I hit a block, my first move is actually not to push through it. I’ve learned that forcing creativity is like trying to fall asleep by willing yourself to sleep—the effort itself becomes the obstacle. Instead, I shift to a different mode: I become a collector rather than a creator. I’ll spend time absorbing instead of producing—reading poetry, walking in nature, listening to music completely outside my genre, watching films, having long conversations about ideas that fascinate me. I’m filling the well, trusting that when it’s full, creation will flow naturally again. For self-doubt—and let me be clear, it never fully goes away—I’ve developed what I call “evidence files.” These are folders (both digital and physical) where I keep every piece of positive feedback, every message from someone whose life was touched by the music, every small victory. When the doubt gets loud and tells me I’m a fraud or that my work doesn’t matter, I read these. Not to feed my ego, but to remind myself of the objective reality: the work has connected, it has mattered, regardless of what my inner critic is currently screaming. I’ve also learned to distinguish between productive self-doubt and toxic self-doubt. Productive doubt asks, “How can I make this better?” It’s curious and constructive. Toxic doubt says, “You’re not good enough. Give up.” That voice? I’ve learned to recognize it as fear, not truth. I acknowledge it—”Thanks for trying to protect me from failure”—and then I do the work anyway. And honestly? Sometimes I just sit with the discomfort. Not everything needs to be fixed or optimized. Sometimes a creative block is your psyche telling you to rest, to process, to integrate what you’ve learned before moving forward. I’ve stopped seeing these periods as problems to solve and started seeing them as necessary chapters in the creative story.
If you could collaborate with any artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?
If I could collaborate with anyone, living or dead, it would be Leonard Cohen—not at the peak of his fame, but the Leonard Cohen of his later years, when his voice had deepened into that gravelly, prophetic instrument that sounded like the earth itself was speaking. Why Cohen? Because he understood something fundamental about art that I’m still learning: that you don’t have to choose between the sacred and the sensual, between the intellectual and the emotional, between darkness and light. His work lived in the tensions between these supposed opposites, and in doing so, revealed them as false dichotomies. I’d want to write with him—sit in a room with acoustic guitars and just explore the intersection of the mystical and the mundane. How do you write about spiritual hunger using the language of physical desire? How do you make ancient religious imagery feel contemporary and urgent? How do you craft a lyric that works on multiple levels simultaneously—surface narrative, symbolic meaning, sonic texture? But beyond the craft, I’d want to learn from his presence. Cohen had this quality of deep listening, of being fully present with whatever was in front of him. There are videos of him in interviews where he’ll pause for 30 seconds before answering a question, not because he’s struggling to find words, but because he’s genuinely considering the truth of what he’s being asked. In our age of constant content and instant responses, that kind of deliberate, unhurried attention feels revolutionary. I think a collaboration with Cohen would be less about creating a hit song and more about apprenticing in a particular way of being an artist—one where you trust the slow work of depth over the quick wins of surface appeal. Where you’re willing to spend years on a single verse if that’s what it takes to get it true. And selfishly, I’d love to hear that voice of his blend with my sound—imagining those rugged, time-worn tones interweaving with the acoustic folk textures I create. It would be like having a conversation between old wisdom and new exploration, and I think something beautiful and surprising would emerge from that dialogue.
What’s a piece of advice you wish you had received earlier in your career?
The advice I wish I’d received earlier—and truly internalized—is this: “Your constraints are your signature.” For years, I spent so much energy wishing I had more: more budget, more equipment, more connections, more formal training, more time. I looked at what I couldn’t do and saw only limitations. I thought that once I had all the “right” resources, then I could make the art I was meant to create. But here’s the truth I learned too late: the limitations you have right now are precisely what will make your work distinctive. Every constraint forces you to make unique choices, to find workarounds that no one else would think of because they’re specific to your particular situation. I couldn’t afford a full band, so I learned to create rich sonic landscapes with just acoustic instruments and careful layering. I didn’t have access to expensive video production, so I developed my own approach to creating visual worlds that became my signature aesthetic. I didn’t have industry connections, so I built the skills to be independent—which ultimately became a philosophical stance as much as a practical one. If I’d had unlimited resources from the start, I probably would have made generic, overproduced music that sounded like everything else. My limitations forced me to develop a voice that’s unmistakably mine. The corollary to this: start before you’re ready. I wasted years “preparing” to launch my music career—taking courses, perfecting demos, waiting for the “right moment.” What I didn’t realize is that you learn more from putting out imperfect work and responding to real feedback than you ever will from theoretical preparation. Your first songs won’t be your best songs. Your early visuals won’t be your most polished. That’s not just okay—it’s necessary. Each piece you release is a stepping stone, and you can’t get to stone #50 without placing stone #1. So my advice to any artist reading this: look at what you have right now—however limited—and ask, “What can only I make with these specific constraints?” That’s where your unique voice lives. Not in the abundance you don’t have, but in the scarcity you’re working with right now.
What’s next for you—any exciting projects or goals on the horizon?
There’s so much on the horizon that I actively resist doing everything at once. Depth over breadth, always. Immediately: I’m completing the full visual journey for “Sur Ses Chemins”—bringing the entire world of the song to life through a complete cinematic experience. This isn’t just about having pretty visuals. It’s about proving that an independent artist can create emotionally resonant, immersive storytelling that rivals anything made with massive budgets. And more importantly, sharing that process so other artists know it’s possible. Musically: I’m working on an EP called “Territoires de l’Intuition” (Territories of Intuition). “Sur Ses Chemins” explores the walk—the active seeking. The next pieces will explore arrival, dark nights of doubt, the unexpected grace of surrender. I’m thinking of it less as a traditional album and more as a meditation cycle. Something people could move through as a contemplative practice, not just entertainment. Visually: I want each song to have its own complete universe—not just a music video, but an entire visual language that extends the emotional journey. Imagine environments that breathe with the music, where light and form respond to rhythm and melody. Philosophically: I want to contribute to the conversation about what art can be in this moment. There’s so much noise—people afraid of change, others rushing to embrace everything new without discernment. I want to model a middle path: honoring tradition while remaining open to new forms of expression. Creating work that’s both ancient and contemporary. Long-term dream: Immersive, multi-sensory experiences that combine music, visuals, and physical space. Imagine walking through an installation where the environment responds to “Sur Ses Chemins”—light patterns synchronized with the djembé pulse, projections shifting with the guitar’s progressions, maybe even scent or temperature changes. Turning the internal spiritual journey into something you can physically inhabit. But honestly? The most important goal is staying true. Resisting pressure to be more commercial, more trendy, more anything other than authentic. If I can create art that helps even one person feel less alone in their journey, that’s success. The horizon is wide open. For the first time, that feels like possibility, not pressure.
Harry Cash – Brain
A Storm Inside the Mind — Harry Cash’s “Brain” Unravels with Raw Intensity
Harry Cash’s latest release, “Brain,” is a haunting yet magnetic plunge into the restless corners of consciousness. From the first trembling note, it’s clear this isn’t a song meant to just play in the background—it wants to grip you, unsettle you a little, and make you feel.
Drawing from the emotional undercurrents of artists like Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, Cash crafts an atmosphere that’s both eerie and electrifying. The track moves with an unpredictable pulse—tight guitar work, stark dynamic shifts, and an ever-building tension that refuses to let go. There’s a cinematic weight to the sound; you can almost see the shadows flicker with each crescendo.
What makes “Brain” truly striking, though, is how it channels chaos into clarity. It’s not polished for perfection—it’s alive, breathing, and human—Cash’s vocal delivery cuts through the fog, commanding attention with a kind of wounded honesty. You can sense his deep musical training and years of live performance behind every note, yet the emotion remains raw and unguarded.
“Brain” isn’t just another alt-rock entry—it’s a portrait of inner conflict dressed in distortion and heart. With this track, Harry Cash proves he’s not merely following the genre’s lineage; he’s twisting it into something that feels startlingly his own.
Roxy Rawson – I Found a Place in the Woods
Into the Heart of the Forest — and the Self
Roxy Rawson’s “I Found a Place in the Woods” isn’t just a song—it’s a quiet reckoning wrapped in the soft light of strings and breath. The track feels like walking through a misty forest at dawn, each note brushing past you like a branch heavy with memory. Produced by Jherek Bischoff, it moves with chamber-folk elegance—piano and violin weaving a spell that feels both fragile and eternal.
Rawson’s voice is the centerpiece: ethereal yet resolute, like someone who’s lived through storms and learned to hum through the aftermath. There’s something distinctly human about how her vocals hover between ache and acceptance, charting that liminal space between grief and renewal. You can sense the echo of solitude, but also the slow flicker of light that follows healing.
The accompanying animated video deepens the story—a woman lost, rediscovering herself amid the trees. It mirrors the emotional pull of the music, a reminder that nature often reflects what’s unresolved inside us.
What makes “I Found a Place in the Woods” so affecting isn’t its grandeur but its restraint. It doesn’t demand your attention—it earns it, gently. By the time the final notes fade, you’re left with that rare kind of stillness that only comes after transformation. This isn’t just a return to the woods; it’s a return to oneself.
Tom Minor – Bring Back the Good Ol’ Boys
A Riotous Revival of Swagger and Sound
Tom Minor’s “Bring Back the Good Ol’ Boys” is a rollicking, swagger-filled throwback that feels like a barroom brawl between classic rock ‘n’ roll and post-punk attitude. From the first beat, it crackles with energy—raspy guitars, stomping drums, and a vocal delivery that sounds both mischievous and prophetic. It’s the kind of song that demands to be played loud, the kind that makes you want to roll down your car windows and yell the chorus into the night air.
What’s remarkable about Minor’s work here is how he channels a half-century of rock lineage without ever sounding nostalgic. There’s a raw, modern confidence in the production, but it’s dressed in vintage grit—like The Clash crashing a Britpop reunion. Beneath the riotous exterior lies a sly social undercurrent, poking fun at the idea of moral order and rebellion itself. Minor’s London roots shine through in the wit and edge of the performance; he’s not just reviving the “good ol’ boys”—he’s dissecting them with a smirk.
Every element feels intentional: the layered guitars spark like flint, the rhythm section drives like a street engine, and Minor’s voice ties it all together—playful, defiant, and deliciously self-aware. “Bring Back the Good Ol’ Boys” isn’t just a song; it’s a full-bodied, sonic toast to chaos, camaraderie, and rock ‘n’ roll’s unruly heart.

Interview with Redlight
What’s the story behind your latest song/album?
Homeworks is our latest release after nearly 20 years together. We’ve put out several EPs but only a few full-length albums, and in a time when singles and videos dominate, we felt the urge to work on a proper 10-song record. It was important for us to present a body of work, a complete statement. We recorded, mixed, and produced everything ourselves in our home studio around Marseille/Le Rove. It wasn’t always easy, the result isn’t flawless—but it carries the handmade, honest touch that reflects who we are.
How has your creative process evolved over the years?
We don’t really compose during rehearsals anymore. Each of us works individually, recording ideas and demos at home. Then Dapé steps in and shapes those drafts, arranging and producing the tracks until they start to take form. Once that structure is there, we all listen, discuss, adjust — sometimes we deconstruct everything again. It’s a very collaborative but layered process. Over time we’ve learned to trust that method: to let ideas mature independently before bringing them together as a band.

Is there a specific moment in your career that felt like a turning point?
There were actually two. A positive one came with the release of our first album, right when the internet was really taking off. The record was very well received by both the audience and the press, and that feedback gave us the energy and confidence to move forward. It felt like the beginning of something solid. The negative turning point came a bit later, when Guy, our drummer at the time, developed a serious ear injury — hyperacusis — which forced us to stop for a while. It was a tough moment that broke our momentum, but also taught us patience and resilience. It reminded us that music is a long journey, not a race.
What’s one misconception people have about being a musician?
That it’s just fun and glamour. In reality, it’s a lot of work: late nights setting up amps, mixing demos, dealing with logistics, facing doubts. There are beautiful moments, but it isn’t always easy. We’re all over 45 now, with families and kids, so continuing with passion means finding the time to write, to rehearse, to keep that fire alive. What really helps is that we’re still making music among friends — that friendship keeps it meaningful and keeps us going.
Who or what has been inspiring your music lately?
We’ve always listened to a lot of music — both old and new. Our foundations go back to what we grew up with: bands like The Cure, Pearl Jam, Pixies, Nirvana, The Beatles, and also a lot of hip-hop from the ’80s and ’90s — Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Army of the Pharaohs. At the same time, newer bands like Fontaines D.C. keep giving us ideas and energy. We’re constantly curious, always discovering new sounds. As for inspiration itself, it mostly comes from everyday life — the passing of time, human relationships, love stories. Those experiences shape our lyrics and the emotions behind the songs.
Can you share a memorable or unexpected moment from a live performance?
One that really stands out was our first Myspace show back in 2008 in Marseille. We had been selected, along with Kid Francescoli, to represent musicians from the South of France. At that time, Myspace was the main social network for music, and being chosen felt like a real recognition — almost like a small consecration for us. The energy, the people, the excitement of that night… it was a turning point that made us realize how far our music could travel beyond our circle of friends.
How do you handle creative blocks or self-doubt?
We take our time, and we let it happen naturally. Sometimes I won’t write anything for six months, and then five songs can come in just two days. As soon as we pick up a guitar, a riff or an idea can emerge. We sit in front of the blank Pro Tools screen and just let ourselves go. We do it out of passion, so there’s no pressure — it’s all about letting go.
If you could collaborate with any artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?
Probably our “heroes.” I imagine Dapé might say Robert Smith, and I would say Eddie Vedder. But we also really enjoy collaborating with our friends and fellow musicians, developing ideas together. For example, Seb from Soul Beach, or Toko Blaze, with whom Dapé often works, or even some tracks I’ve done with bands like Ending Satellites. We love the artists we meet on stage or online — those connections often lead to new creative paths and fresh inspiration.
What’s a piece of advice you wish you had received earlier in your career?
Don’t wait until everything is perfect to release something. Perfection often becomes a trap that stops you from sharing your work. It’s better to put something out, fragile and honest, than nothing at all. We learned that with Homeworks.
What’s next for you—any exciting projects or goals on the horizon?
We plan to play as much as possible. We’re starting around Marseille and the wider region, and we hope to get abroad too. We don’t have a major booking team, so we DIY it — but we love that. We’re also working on new demos, some more electronic textures, exploring different colours while keeping the organic heart of the band. Perhaps an EP of remixes. In a few years, we imagine still playing, creating and enjoying music with friends — maybe not always with the spotlight, but always with the same passion. Rock ’n’ roll never dies.
