I hear a song from inside the maze

totally obsessed with aldous harding's new song since it came out --

"the barrel"

there's always a danger in leaving the past

"fog city"

things

"when things go black i got you"

i've been a longtime fan of amen dunes

he just put out a new record, called freedom

and it's a real masterpiece

i've been listening to it over and over these past few months

and i can't get tired of it.

i've got many favorites on the record,

but please, listen to "believe" or "time"

new favorite song //

oldham's house in louisville

will oldham is a musician, and actor 

(good occasion to put a link to one of my favorite movies in which he plays in - old joy)

his wife, elsa hansen oldham, makes embroideries, stitching little figurines taking inspiration from pop culture, politics...

their louisville's home and studio are featured in t-magazine

have a glance !

LWFH :: Entrance

"Maybe the place you’re born and raised is like a mirror and you can see things as they really are, or see yourself as you have really become, only in that one place. Although in a completely unfamiliar place you’ve never been to before you can see the same thing, the truth of the self, from a different perspective."

"I’m excited about continuing to travel and expand the definition of home - home is more a state of mind or a feeling than a particular place - home can be another person, and ideally home should be one’s self."

last year, i've been lucky enough to meet Guy Blakeslee, who plays under the name Entrance.

when he asked to contribute to my project Long Way From Home, i was honored.

and this is seriously my favorite interview.

Guy sent me some photos of his home

and when he was in Paris, Marion Berrin took some portraits under the winter sun.

best team.

you can read the interview here

LWFH :: Gabriel Auguste

it seems like an eternity 

between each interview posted on long way from home.

pfew. 

anyway !

here's the latest one.

i paid gabriel auguste a visit in his super cool apartement in paris.

gabriel was playing in wall of death before he decided to stand on his own two feet as gabriel auguste.

and i'm also very glad to have teamed up with photographer marion berrin who took fantastic pictures !
