Where will next Wild Live Songs happen?

Where will next Wild Live Songs happen?

This was just a small teaser, we’re planning an unplugged Wild Live Songs session for tonight, Tuesday 30th of August 2022 (although as usual, the weather can play its role at the last minute, but we stay positive!) It will be streamed on this link here. The replay will be available shortly after.

In the meantime, here’s the replay from last week performance, by a beautiful and magical (and quite intense!) beech tree located in our area. It was our second performance with Diffaith, our fellow musician friend from Germany, with whom we worked on tunes from Astrakan Project as well as on a new piece (Skolvan). We’re extremely happy and proud of the result, both musically and visually.

If all goes well, tonight will be our 5th streamed show on YouTube, we’ll do a small recap very soon, but we can say shortly that it’s been one of the most exciting projects we’ve taken part lately. We see plenty of perspectives to try, collaborations, different places, etc!

We’re also amazed by your kindness, and your patience. We encountered many sound issues, we’re still testing the process, and we only received but encouraging comments and support. Thank you! It means a world to us that you also witness the dirty stages and somehow understand where we want to get you along with us.

A galon, Simone & Yann

New video out tonight / nouvelle vidéo ce soir

New video out tonight / nouvelle vidéo ce soir

Our Short daily videos is over after 21 days of daily videos (last one was here https://youtu.be/IQIr1xNdpls ) We had planned for a full month, but Simone’s health has sort of shortened the series – but it’s still a nice achievement, that has opened plenty of new possibilities.

Notre série quotidienne de vidéos courtes en Breton est terminée après 21 jours (la dernière est ici https://youtu.be/IQIr1xNdpls ). Nous avions prévu quatre semaines au départ, mais les soucis de voix de Simone en ont décidé autrement. 21 jours ça reste pas mal, et ça nous a ouvert plein de perspectives créatives.

The song is not new, but the video was inspired by a newly finished painting from Simone, finished around the magical time of Samhain/Noz Kala-Goanv. The first part of the video, the music part will be live tonight (7pm UK time), and the poetic vlog titled “Inês Ashes” will be available on Sunday evening. We’re quite excited about this project, which is the second we partially filmed together, generally Simone films on her own (the first one was Koçari in Kiev)

Ce n’est pas une nouvelle chanson, mais la vidéo est inspirée par une toile que Simone a terminé pendant la période magique de la Samhain/Noz Kala-Goanv. La partie clip de la vidéo sera en ligne sur notre chaîne ce soir à 20h, et on vous réserve pour dimanche une version longue avec un vlog poétique intitulé “les cendres d’Inês”. C’est le deuxième projet vidéo que nous tournons en partie tous les deux, en général Simone filme seule. (le premier c’était Koçari à Kiev)

Music under the Northern Lights

Music under the Northern Lights

A small animation made with pictures of Northern Lights – we wish we had the equipment to film this beautiful show.
Music was the primary study for next album Inês (based on a medieval portuguese love story – and a true tragic love story !). Since we completely changed the idea, you still may enjoy it without spoiling it ! Again, a new concept by Astrakan Project : the fake teaser !

Honestly it is weird for us to imagine very soon when we’ll head to the South we won’t be scrutinising the sky for the magical Northern Lights.

Road-trip diary 2

Road-trip diary 2

Last thing we need to depart will be in our hands within hours: Yann’s brand new passport! We have all the rest and the mysterious destination will soon be revealed, though this video might give you a clue ?

Soon on the road again!

Soon on the road again!

It’s been months since we’ve been thinking about what our next big road-trip could be, and it took a lot of energy to make sure we could make it happen, but we’re almost there, last passport should be there on Wednesday, and we’ll be ready to go. Where? To a mysterious magical destination from which we’ll work on plenty of new sounds and songs!

We’ve been quite a lot in Brittany over the last past months, and we really need a change and a boost of fresh air to get back on track and record. This time we aren’t going to have any gig on the way (though, we’re always ready for what shows up!), little health issues over the past year haven’t helped us to organise sustainable tours during the summer. So we thought we would dedicate that time to make some real progress on all what we’ve had on hold since we left Greece by the end of 2015. And it’s gonna be an adventure we’re thrilled to share with you!

Complete guided tour of our new studio on wheels coming soon too!

If you’re on facebook, it might be where we share our daily progress: http://facebook.com/astrakanproject)
