ABOUT THE ALBUM

CINEMATHEQUE was composed throughout 2020 and reveal a sound close to a cinematographic atmosphere with a melancholic and contemplative tone, the result of an introspective compositional process for piano, string quartet, bass clarinet and voice, to which discreet electronic sounds are added.
The wonderful cover is designed by the master Chris Bigg, creator of a distinct visual identity for the British independent music label 4AD through their record sleeve designs.

This limited edition includes a 12" insert, with private links (with QR codes) to all the songs videos, and artwork movie posters for all the songs.See it as you hear it.
Cinematheque comes pressed on a heavy audiophile 180g black vinyl.

So sit back, and be prepared to enjoy the latest home movie soundtrack for a movie yet to be released.
