Enchanted Sea

Description

Enchanted Sea is a journey, a collection of deeply personal songs. They capture the joys and sorrows, the beauty and transformation, inspired by my own journey as a young woman in my late twenties. I explore the meaning and challenges of adulthood, the tension between freedom and responsibility, the vastness of nature, and the infinite and fragile dimension of love. Blending intimate narratives with more cinematic sounds, Enchanted Sea also marks an artistic evolution. I wanted to bring to life the sonic universe I had long imagined and reconnect with old friends—the flute and the piano—along the way. Most of the tracks were recorded and produced at home, but I could not have done anything without the help of Michiel Renson, with whom I finalized the project in his studio. I also had the pleasure of being accompanied by friends and collaborators: the great Felix Baele (bass, charango, and backing vocals) and the talented brothers Orlan (drums) and Abel Ghekiere (clarinet, harmonium, and guitar). The recording took place over time and across different locations, giving each track a unique sound and color, resulting in an eclectic collection of songs woven together like a carefully crafted patchwork quilt.
