[ENG] The Labyrinth will have a voice.

Stéphane Paut (Neige, Alcest) will compose its music.

Two years ago, I painted this cover for Alcest.

Les Chants de l'Aurore, oil and gold leaf on paper.

A reimagining of The Spirit of the Plains, a tribute to Australian painter Sydney Long, whose work lives in both Neige and me.

We later extended this world into the L'Envol video, with Psyché Ophiuchus and Cédric Lenfant.

A solstice night. Thousands of images. Drawings pulled into motion.

Some collaborations don't end.

They find a new threshold.

[FR] Le Labyrinthe aura une voix.

Stéphane Paut (Neige, Alcest) en composera la musique.

Il y a deux ans, j'ai réalisé cette pochette pour Alcest.

Les Chants de l'Aurore, huile et feuille d'or sur papier.

Une relecture de The Spirit of the Plains, hommage au peintre australien Sydney Long, dont le travail habite Neige et moi.

Nous avons ensuite prolongé cet univers dans le clip L'Envol, avec Psyché Ophiuchus et Cédric Lenfant.

Une nuit de solstice. Des milliers d'images. Des dessins tirés vers le mouvement.

Certaines collaborations ne s'arrêtent pas.

Elles trouvent un nouveau seuil.

#HappyNewYear!

Utagawa Hiroshige (Japan, 1797–1858)

New Year's Eve Foxfires at the Changing Tree, Ōji [MShōzoku Inari Shrine in Ōji, Tokyo]

From One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, no. 118, part 4: Winter. 1857

Woodblock print

“In the late 1850s, while Japanese color prints were dominated by themes of the fantastic, Hiroshige emphasized the realities of the observed world in his work. However, here he has ventured into the world of spirits. It was believed that on New Year's Eve all the foxes of the surrounding provinces would gather at a particular tree near Oji Inari Shrine, the headquarters of the regional cult of the god Inari. There the foxes would change their dress for a visit to the shrine, where they would be given orders for the coming year. On the way, the animals would emit distinctive flames by which local farmers were able to predict the crops of the coming year.” (Brooklyn Museum)
