Summer fever: Awaken’s workshop, VinaTown, some jetlag in Germany and a flea market

Dear fans, friends, passing smiles and sensual dreamers,

hello. How are you on those warmer days ?

As promised, I can share a little news with you since 21th of June has passed… fruitfully. Enough said, I hope having something to make your day :

Awaken's workshop's Summer fever

Last Saturday, to celebrate the coming of Summer, was the first workshop of the new Awaken live band's embryo. A multi-instrumentist (whose name is still kept secret), a singer (whose name is also a best-kept secret) and myself (whose name is… not that secret anymore) had fruitful discussions about Awaken's past, present and future, plans, short jams and listening to each other's new songs, it seems that you can be prepared to see Awaken playing live the forthcoming Autumn.

Vinatown, city of Vietnam

I'm glad to see the interaction between VinaTown.org (the best Vietnamese lessons online) and Awaken. Thanks to our fellows Vinatowners who visit Awaken and listen to our music. Thank you Awaken fans for showing interest in Vietnam and VinaTown. We all appreciate this.

Leonard Cohen once again through the eyes of Awaken

Take a bottle of wine, a bowl of warm rice, an old synthesizer, a tired guitar and hi-tech computer loops. Take a deep breath and an Awakenized cover of Leonard Cohen's « First We Take Manhattan » saw the light of neons. Just a click and you can download it here.

Facebook is just a caress away

If you are on faceBook and need to be caressed by Awaken's music, you can now join our brand new page here .

Jetlag in Germany

To end this news, I want to recommend you a German artist, Jet, who released an vibrant funky yet rock short album on Jamendo: Good times are coming.

Let's all keep good times coming, no ?

See you soon for more tangible and untangible news !
