about
A l'origine, j'avais en tête de rassembler ces morceaux sous un EP appelé "Folk stuff", puisque la majorité des chansons était très folk, souvent sur les mêmes accords basiques... Et puis j'ai commencé à expérimenter des nouvelles choses plus synthétiques sur certaines chansons, et le titre ne collait plus du tout. D'où ce double EP schizophrène : "Picture Book" et ses chansons folk aux textes impressionnistes, et "Story Book" qui part dans d'autres directions malgré des textes plus intimes.
Basically, this EP was called "Folk Stuff", as the majority of the songs was very folky and played on the four same simple chords... But then I began experimenting new sounds on some of these songs, and the title was not appropriate anymore.
Now i've got this double contrasted EP : "Picture Book" and its plain folk songs with impressionistic lyrics, and "Story Book" which goes in unexpected directions despite some more personnal lyrics.
