A TRAGEDY AT SEA
The Lighthouse: The Origin Story

I composed the three first titles of the project at Dunnet Lighthouse, alone in foggy nights, surrounded by the cliffs below.
What is driven by me ?
One year before, just after the final lockdown, I went to the island of OUESSANT, in Britanny. There I gazed for hours at the famous lighthouse called LA JUMENT, standing on a rock out in a raging sea.
I FELT LIKE HOME…
I've been haunted since by the loneliness of such rocky boats, challenging the storms, crazy places in the middle of nowhere. What could be the feelings of their keepers, imprisoned where no one should live?
I WISH I WAS ONE OF THEM.
Going to lighthouses ashore is going to hell. How is nature in such dangerous places?
What could seas, so ill treated nowadays, tell us in the darkness?
Are still the waves, the wind, the sky, all the animals and the gods of the sea showing there their strenghs and their sufferings?
At this moment I knew I had to write a musical story evocating a night in the life of a lighthouse keeper, threatened by a terrible storm and his own dreams.
MY STORM WITHIN, THE ONE I'M ABOUT TO LET GO.
A musical story, without words, but immersive, stimulates imagination and direct feelings between you and me.
COME WITH ME AND ENTER THE LIGHTHOUSE.
Feel my anxiety, my perversion and the wonders of an eerie night sung by an acoustic guitar,
in the heart of what is now your own tragedy.
