We’re so happy and proud to have again brought into the world a beautiful art project, combining Music, painting, mixed media and creative video editing. We filmed it in Brittany and finished the editing during our travel here in Sweden. Take your time to enjoy it, it’s an 8 minutes song, so it’s almost like a short movie But it will be worth your time, we always deliver what we promise

And when it’s done, please leave us a comment saying what part you most enjoyed, and maybe send the link to a friend!

The song is Ar Venjañs, from our album & book Inês. It’s the revenge of Pedro upon the murderers of his beloved Inês (full lyrics with notes, context and all translations in English and French in the illustrated book Inês, also available in digital format). The rhythm of the music is a traditional gavotte rhythm.

The lyrics are somewhat unrelated to the video itself – but we liked the energy of the music, we’ll touch on the reasons behind it soon in a short video.

The painting featured will soon be available on Simone’s art shop here:

The Return of Mother Earth is an allegory of the resistance at play in Brittany to protect the land from more damage from the industrial agriculture. In next week’s video we’ll give you some elements and context, subscribe to be notified http://www.youtube.com/astrakanproject?sub_confirmation=1
