In january 2016 I started a new life here in London, I needed to leave my comfort zone, to get out of this routine where I didn't learn much of myself anymore. I left my mountains to come this dense city, like if I needed that contrast, I needed to change completely, get my head under the water and see what happens, what happens next...

So I left my parents and friends there in France, but I also left my music instruments, what I had to express myself and I only had a computer and a cheap MIDI keyboard I got when I arrived in London. From that I decided to start a new project, to start making music again, in a different way, with this kind of restriction. It's like if suddenly you have to learn to walk again, you know what you have to do but you have to learn how.

From that was born my project called "alinea", where I basically just experimented new atmospheres, new sounds, new way of composing and mixing, because you always learn, even if you always want to correct everything in every single work you make. But you have to stop at some point, force yourself to take a step back and understand what you did wrong and good, learn from it and move on.

During the whole process I discovered London with another point of view, not the touristic one, the one where you get to know every street, every corner, you get to know them that you're finally used to it, this is also where I find interesting to take again a step back and look up around you and realise what's happening, be less focus on your day and start enjoying what really makes it. From that was born a serie of photos I tried to match with my music...

...The idea behind this is to leave you the freedom to imagine what you want out of it, that's also the reason I didn't want to etiquette my songs with names, I really wanted the listeners to be creative and suggest themselves what could be the title of these songs.

alinea is something that never really stops, it just starts again, in a different way, with a different point of view, different words, in the end it's not the places we know so much that really change, but the way we look at them.
