My new album, “ruralia,” aligns with Florina’s vision and is inspired by Monet’s Falaise de Pourville, le matin, featured on the cover.
This creation came about during a time when I was deeply immersed in exploring the virtues of rural life as an alternative to the industrial impact on society.

This influence shaped “ruralia” into a very intimate album, embracing minimal elements to depict what would be a life away from the city.
By minimizing distractions, I aimed to achieve peace and clarity. The album embodies quietness, contemplation, and inner discovery amidst the natural world, encouraging deep thought and self-knowledge to live a simple life as a form of resistance.

*********

a call for calm
in a natural conversation
propels a sound capsule
ochre-colored

the storm rises
sings the limit of worlds
the universal ignorance
of a bird’s flight

the wind buys peace
at the price of the waves
adding to the land’s debt

the hope of a simulated city
the quiet of a gray sky
patience patience

return to calm
carnal monologue
of this geography
imaginary

—–

un appel au calme
dans une conversation naturelle
propulse une pastille de son
couleur ocre

l’orage se dresse
chante la limite des mondes
l’universelle ignorance
d’un vol d’oiseau

le vent achète la paix
au prix des vagues
s’ajoute la dette du terrain

l’espérance d’une ville simulée
quiétude d’un ciel gris
patience patience

retour au calme
monologue charnel
de cette géographie
imaginaire
