I ♥ Minimalism.

I remember an interview of Sebastien Tellier, he was talking about the Eurovision competition and he said something like that: "the question is 'do I love it or not?', it's a very simple world and I love that because I need very simple things to be happy".
I couldn't tell it better than him! I only need small things to make me happy.
How I love, all of the very simple things of life... (hope you've heard my Morrissey's voice here, hihihi) ;-)
Therefore it's no surprise if I'm telling you I like minimalism!
In every disciplines, I think pictures, buildings, songs, texts, etc. are more beautiful if they're rough. It's very impressive to me, how can people create a masterpiece made of almost nothing and create beautiness with only elementary stuff.
I think it's way more impressive to do more with less. It appeals to much more creativity according to me.
Anyway, I'm not trying to persuad people minimalism is good. Art is something subjectif and everyone can like different stuff, being pro-minimalism or being anti-minimalism (to be or not to be...), it won't make you be a less or more interesting person, there are no good art or bad art, well, maybe there is yes, but it's not the question of the day, hahaha... So my point is, you don't have to like what I like, I'll have no hard feelings if you don't share my point of view, we'll still be friends. But you can't tell me you don't like this album I'm posting today... because believe me, it is just ace! All effects are created using voices, basic instruments (guitare, bass, drums), plus the use of one of the first British synthesizer (EMS Synthi VCS3) and then some tapes manipulation techniques. So please take time to listen to the complexe simplicity of An Electric Storm and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did:
