Un Autre Decembre

Chauveau has previously released two albums under his own name (Le Livre Noir du Capitalisme – 2000, and Nocturne Impalpable – 2001), mostly recorded by his sound engineer and friend Joan Cambon. He has composed and recorded the original music of Belgian cinematographer Thomas de Thier's "Des plumes dans la tête" (‘Feathers in the head’), which is also due to be released in 2003. He has played live in Paris, Milan, Vienna (supporting Sigur Ros on their 2002 European tour), Toulouse and elsewhere. Sylvain is also a member of the ambient-rock duo Micro:mega (with Frédéric Luneau) and the cinematic avant-rock band Arca (with Joan Cambon).

Of this release, Sylvain comments: “This is the most silent record I'll ever make. On Un autre décembre, my ambition of reaching an evident simplicity in my music is brought to its apex. Back to the essential, to the naked echoes of the main instrument in Western music: the piano. Un Autre Decembre is also my sincere tribute to a very important figure in my work ."
