"There are some times when playing a show that things go wrong, and it ends up being a disaster. And then there are times when playing a show when things go wrong and it ends up being a tiny blessing, or at the very least a chance to demonstrate some flexibility and agility, to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. My show at hinah hq Deutschland wasn't originally going to be an all-acoustic session played on a classical guitar, but then again the original plan didn't have the amplifier shorting out before I even had a chance to test it out. But you know what? This show in Laurent and Eloïse's cozy living room, played to fifteen or so new fans and new friends, may have been among the warmest, most memorable shows that I've ever played. You can't ask for a better audience, attentive and responsive, and I was happy that at least some of the songs that I played hold up ok when stripped naked, minus the beats and the noise. Not to mention that this was the first and probably last time that I had ever played "Fire in the Palm of My Hand" or "Breathe In, Breathe Out" or "Autumn Anthem" on a Yamaha Portasound and a child's toy keyboard, both with their funny synth settings and their teeny-tiny keys too small for my fingers. Here's to foreign travels and foreign instruments. Every day brings something new.
Cheers"

hinahgift026 - Fulton Lights
"hinah session"
Nous avons découvert il y a quelques années la musique d'Andrew Goldman avec son premier projet musical nommé Maestro Echoplex, projet folk et mélodique à souhait. Après une période sous le patronyme de John Guilt, Andrew a créé un nouveau projet, Fulton Lights, qui vient de sortir "The Way We Ride", deuxième album aux ambiances et aux tempos plus lourds et tourmentés. Andrew venant en Europe pour une tournée solo, nous lui avons proposé de faire un tour par chez nous pour une session qui devait être électrique mais qui a fini acoustique, l'ampli de notre ami Eric ayant décidé de nous lâcher au dernier moment. Voici donc de quoi découvrir les chansons de Fulton Lights dans leur plus simple appareil !
