Le Biniou

For you...

As an artist, composer, VJ or just fan, to create live visuals based on your audio performances or existing tracks.
As a listener, to watch an everlasting and totally unseen creation reacting to the music.

All work on version 4 is off until further notice.
I'll maintain version 3, but feel free to donate for more works on version 4.

(my background)

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can

Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark

I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees

Into the trees

Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone

The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again
And again and again and again
...
