Rare are those musicians capable of creating their own space-time continuum. After years of activity in the French underground, Adrien Kanter seems to have reached a far-off place of pure artistic inspiration – free from trends, quotes and gimmicks. Born in the Paris suburbs, deeply influenced by a music-loving grandmother, Adrien first came to music rather late. As an adult, guided both by his instinct and certain encounters, he fled the world of work he found suffocating to dedicate himself entirely to music. He has hence been known to perform in parisian activist DIY noise trio Looking For John G, cult free-rock band Le Réveil des Tropiques, retromaniac synthpop duo Trésors, and dada harsh noise combo Eddie 135. These several lives spent on the roads of France, Japan and the USA have nurtured his thirst for independance, and favored his never-ending search for new inspiration, sounds and collaborations. Recorded in the Savoie mountains where he now lives and has his studio, this new record succeeds in invoking a long dreamed-of past - a time when creativity was unrestrained and encouraged by quests for eternity and transcendence. Even though he mentions a few unapprochable spiritual fathers (John Coltrane, Neil Young, Elliott Smith...), Adrien Kanter paves his own path, somewhere between cosmic folk-rock, progressive electronic music, psychedelic electricity and intimate pop.
