Description

Raoul Eden is a French Cosmic Instrumental Guitarist who offers an instrumental guitar set with 6 and 12 strings punctuated by slide dobro and modular drone. His style is rooted in a primitive psychedelic blues open to the sounds of the Middle East, classical lyricism and Indian ragga. His guitar playing digs as much into repetitive and ecstatic structures as into quasi-improvised free forms; and borders on a journey beyond reality and through illusions.

Sophia Djebel Rose delivers avant garde folk with a dark and trembling luminous poetry. Operating from home, on the high plateaus of Auvergne (middle of France), Sophia Djebel Rose offers a debut album to rank among the unclassifiable of folk music. Minimal and abundant, austere and generous, classic and baroque, Sophia Djebel Rose has succeeded in this gamble of combining the extremes, but it seems natural if we are willing to consider that some whispers have the force of a cry.
