I know that a given situation can suddenly change completely. But after presenting my music at the Imaginales festival for so long, I had come to feel like I had found my place there, and that I could always count on it.

Whoops…

Yes, after an assiduous eight year presence, it turns out that my label Ylsthia was not picked for the 2025 edition of the Imaginales festival. Among the reasons I gleaned are the growing number of submitted applications, and modifications that will reduce the available space for stands in the Parc du Cours.

Nevertheless, I was assured that this did not mean that Ylsthia was « kicked out » of the festival. I was even encouraged to send a new application next year.

Regardless, this setback has definitely convinced me to find other events in which to participate. I had been thinking about it for a while, and gathering information here and there.  The time has come to search more actively !

In the meantime, this does not change the progress in the making of my ninth album, the recording of which carries on at a steady pace.

Best regards to all, and a thought for the people I had the pleasure of meeting at the Imaginales over the years.

As is now custom during Christmastime, the Ylsthia stand will return to its two usual fairs, only this time, the order will be reversed. Indeed, I will first be in Antony on the 7th and 8th of December (Espace Vasarely - 10h30 to 18h30 on both days), then in Saint-Prix on the 14th and 15th (Christian Dufresne sports center - 10h to 19h on Saturday, 10h to 18h on Sunday).

All my works will be available on CD or USB flash-drive, and the listening devices (touch-tablet & headphones) will allow you to fully appreciate each album.

Best regards.
