The wildflower moves with force, making the tears run
and the heart flex and squint. The world has shifted, and more
changes are to come. Those imagined diamonds of worlds
are now on our side of the wall. Those afar simply imagine.
Those balancing in the middle can see that it is not impossible.
They believe it. The believers would break their last fast
to achieve it, but they hold on to their beloved idols of their old home.
Then there are those flowers who have forgotten what they once knew,
and now apply and derive meaning from only the new...only the just...
only the free...only the love.. - umi

Ici est plus d'information sur Bastien:
Né à La Rochelle, un petit port de l’Atlantique-France, j’ai embrassé la musique vers l’âge de 15 ans. Tout en débutant dans plusieurs formations, je n’ai cessé d’écrire et d’arranger mes propres chansons. Au fil des ans, j’ai eu la chance de toucher autant au progressif qu’au jazz, au blues et à la musique funk. Il y a quelques années, j’ai laissé tomber la France pour le Canada. Depuis, je continue ma route en solo, tirant du chemin tout ceux que j’ai eu la chance de rencontrer. Installé en Ontario depuis 2008, j’ai pu participer au concours franco-ontarien « Ontario Pop », ce qui m’a valu le prix de la chanson primée par la SOCAN ainsi qu’un enregistrement dans les studios de Radio-Canada. Avançant petit à petit, je sais que j’ai encore beaucoup de chemin à faire. Les chansons que vous écoutez transcrivent des lieux et des époques différentes de ma vie. Elles illustrent ce que je suis, ce que j'ai été, et ce qui pourrais bien advenir de moi un jour. J’espère qu’elles vous plairont…
