Ombre et Lumière (Shadow and Light) is a project I started during spring 2019. It's still active.
I explore the many sides of our lives in what I call an epic philosophical tale.
I chose to imagine 2 characters called Ombre et Lumière, who embody both our dark and bright sides.
In the visuals, they appear through masks that I decorated, and through various symbolic items (crystals, moon, sun, temple, plants...).
Musically, the songs feature music between rock and metal, with the electric guitar as main element, where clean and saturated vocals intermingle durgi the choruses. Acoustic arpeggio and world music elements play an important role too.
The songs are released following a model inspired by theatre : acts and scenes.

- the songs of Act I were released from spring to summer 2019
those of Act II were released from autumn 2019 to spring 2020

thanks to my mum for making the masks
thanks to friends who advised me about the English lyrics

Act I
all begins with a mere statement :
life is a balance between two opposite forces.
They reside within us. (Life is Theater)

On the one hand, is Lumière (same title song)
Lover of life in all its beauty
Shaping the world in his own way using his spiritual powers (Recréer le Monde)

Yet, sometimes doubt arises, (Eclipse)
But making use of his inner forces
Lumière renews, reinforces, gathers people (Union)

Acte II
But it's too late
Because on the other hand, is Ombre.
Lumière and his naivety, his great optimism, some would even say his pretention (I Pretend)
Doesn't prevent his rival to settle
Or does he withdraw for a while ? (To the Mountains)
The story is at an epic shift

Ombre reveals a very different vision of the world (Dark Age)
A duel breaks out between the two characters (Ombre et Lumière)

But, in the end, don't they coexist ?
Together in this world (Together on Earth)

The curtain falls
Story to be continued in Acte III
