CHEVEL

I’m sitting in my flat listening to some John Coltrane tunes, trying to chill my mind, wondering how to write a proper text for this process. The first thing I did when Rayna and I got in touch was to focus on the deep meaning of the word process. I've tried to transpose this meaning onto my personal experience. Actually, I’m living a deep process in my life and my teenage years will be gone in 2009.

Walking back in the years, I remember the day (I was eleven) when I decided to make music with my first computer. I was a bit confused about how to do it but I was also curious at the same time. I gave up going out everyday with my friends and I started spending whole afternoons in my room, trying to find how to make cool sounds. Unfortunately, this passion has stolen from me some good friendships in the past. I like so much to be closed in a room with a pc and some analog studio gear, just making music.

In the beginning, this situation was a bit frustrating. However, I soon realized this feeling of being unfulfilled was the key to finding a way of making music and art. Now, I suppose, I have found my meaning of the word process: a never-ending rush with no aim, no destination. It’s the flow in life, the mind in motion, the perfection you’ll never get, a perpetual state of crisis. That's why I mixed some tracks which really changed my point of view and gave me a good vibration to go on and never turn back during this endless life research.

With Love.
