ROGUE HILL

I™ve started to work on this album before I knew it. During June 2018, I was in Japan for a month to release my previous album Cairn as well as my first solo exhibition of drawings in Tokyo. Everyday on my way to the gallery I passed in front of the same building, its name kept haunting me : Rogue Hill. Back then I was digging for cheap 80™s Japanese CD™s (Balearic, New Age, Ambient,...) in second hand stores. Most of them set the tone of this album and the direction I wanted to follow. I feel there™s a direct connection between these original sources and the sound I pursue by their meditative aspect. Most of the demo songs were done before my daughter™s birth on August 2019 and were finalized since then. Many of the titles refer to this main event and relate to how it changed my position in life : being a link through time by becoming a father. A1. Lex (de Kalhex) - Second Cycle A2.
