about

Wind, Sand & Stars: Les Nuits de Désert

The music on this album is spontaneous improvisation, recorded live and direct to stereo digital with no overdubs.

(Except “parfum du désert,” to which Stick tracks were added later in studio.)

This album was conceived, recorded, and mastered in a single day. The original sessions were recorded in an afternoon in The Living Room. The album was edited and mastered in a single day, years later, at Dragonsweyr studio.
