Have you seen our video for The Silver Box song yet? Here are some of the incredible events that made that video possible…
About the Heart in the Silver box song here:
Have a great week, creative and peaceful,
Sound & Video
The Sailors drowned at Sea, whose heart returned to his beloved in a silver box
Happy new year, bloavezh mat deoc’h, we’re happy to start out 2023 with a video with a very long and ghosty history, and yes, it’s quite dark and moody, but, hey! that’s also very Breton!
We hope you’ll enjoy, the sound has been remastered in that version, but the original version is to be found in B album here:

Enjoy, have a nice 2023! Simone ha Yann
Chuta Chani, a georgian Lullaby
Many of you already saw it and gave us super nice feedback, for the rest of you, we had been working on this song for a while now, it’s a traditional lullaby from Georgia that we released right before Samhain. Our son was super kind to take part into the video itself – look for the description under the video, there’s plenty about the origine etc…
(please if you have a YouTube user account, like/subscribe/comment, sounds cheesy, but it makes a huge difference on the way our channel and music gets promoted to people that don’t know us yet.)
Simone did an extra video about Samhain/Art/Honouring our ancestors and the meaning of the song to her.
Saz in Kiev
A short video is on the tube with sequences filmed while we were living in Kyiv in June/July 2020, and we miss Kyiv, we miss Ukraine, we miss travelling. The first part of the tune is from South Brittany, the second half is from Albania/Balkans and is called Loukoum – and we have a longer version of this on stage 😉 The instrument is a Saz/Bağlama and is from Turkey (at least this one is 😉 )
New vlog / Nouveau vlog
The second part of our Samhain / Deiz Kala-Goañv is now live on our channel, we hope you’ll enjoy it, if you do, please leave us a comment under the video, it helps the channel get promoted + subscribe ! And yes, the cover image is really cool !!!
La deuxième partie de notre projet vidéo/peinture pour Deiz Kala-Goañv Samhain cette année est en ligne, on espère que vous aimerez (c’est en anglais, mais il y a les sous-titrages en français), et si c’est le cas, soyez gentils, laissez-nous un petit message sous la vidéo, ça aide la chaîne à gagner en visibilité ! Et sinon, oui, l’image de couverture est carrément cool !
Petra Nevez ? What’s Up ? Quoi de neuf ?

Les 3 épisodes suivants sont en ligne… (mais n’oubliez pas qu’ils sont mis en ligne chaque jour sur notre chaîne YouTube)
Petra nevez? What’s up? Quoi de neuf ?
It seems we have been more active on video that with words – which seem in a way odd since video editing is from far more time-consuming than writing, but you know…. we love videos! Anyway, we’ll keep it short tonight, but just know that we started a small daily challenge on our YouTube channel (if you’re not subscribed yet, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/astrakanproject?sub_confirmation=1).
Curieusement, il semble que l’on soit plus actifs en vidéos ces temps-ci que sur le blog… ce qui semblerait étrange étant donné le temps que prend l’édition de chaque vidéo, mais pas tant que ça, si on se rappelle à quel point on aime les vidéos ! (mais dans tous les cas pensez à passer sur notre chaîne : http://www.youtube.com/astrakanproject?sub_confirmation=1)
We’ll post a short (less than one minute, in the shorts format easy to access on your phone!) video every day, with glimpses from our creative lives, and in which we can use more Breton – but with all kind of subtitles. You may learn some words on the way 😉 and effortlesly !
Et c’est le bon moment parcequ’on poste en ce moment une vidéo par jour (moins d’une minute, en format accessible sur mobile), avec des moments de nos journées toujours très remplies. C’est l’occasion d’utiliser plus de breton – mais avec plein de sous-titres bien sûr. Et c’est peut-être même l’occasion d’apprendre quelques nouveaux mots sans effort !
Here are the 3 first episodes / voici les 3 premiers épisodes
Please like and comment and share! It helps us immensely growing the channel! / S’il vous plaît, likez, partagez, commentez! Ca nous aide vraiment à faire connaître la chaîne.
A painting to say goodbye, an art experience about inspiration, destruction and transformation.
