Pascal
On ne tient jamais au temps présent. This is the motto of Eli D. first solo EP; Pascal. This opus is presented as a succession of atmospheres. In each one, we meditate and reason about the place we give to the moment, and how it articulates our happiness. Eli is inspired by Blaise Pascal's opus Les Pensées, from which he takes up pieces of the fragment 172, and invites us to visit his doubts and worries around this question.We first discover the weight of the past with Immuzar n Uzud ( Uzud’s falls). Then we contemplate the ephemerality of the present with the second title; present. Finally, we come up against the fear of a disappointed future with Echoes. The whole is veiled with a great softness and intimacy, and easily drives the listeners into introspection. As sweet when waking up as when closing the eyes... to listen.
