Sleeve Notes

FROM CELTIC ROOTS

Firstly, to be as committed as possible. To express myself totally, as sincerely as possible, governed by my roots — Celtic — my era — electronic — my influences — classical, American, oriental …

The birth of a distinctive European music, equivalent to American rock music, a truly popular music, not searching for the easy way, believing in the dignity of man.

Then, to make a new world, singing about the birth of Brittany, of the workers and their co-operatives, of the towns under the sea, cities of glass and granite, of steel, of tides and of bread.

To retrace the earthly paths before embarking towards the islands.
