French Avant-garde instrumental guitarist Raoul Eden has featured on KLOF Mag several times; most recently, Glenn Kimpton reviewed his album Incarnation; he wrote: “It is the joy of experimenting and soaking up cultures and influences that washes over this album. Raoul is a musician clearly finding pleasure in playing music and looking to create a sound that is both a tribute to the sources he has found important and one that is unique to him. And, really, that’s what it’s all about.”
We have the pleasure of sharing a live session he recorded, in which he performs ‘Red Sun of a Moonless Morning’, the opening track from his album Incarnation (Bandcamp).
This live one-take recording was made during the winter. It took place in a lonely abandoned house deep in the snow-covered heights of the French Massif Central.
He says: “With this song, I tried to take the listener on a journey through a forest of symbols from Tarot, astrology and occultism. It reflects on our existence of man, his desolation and its possible rebirth into the soul of the world…
“Some walk the path that leads from the heaviness of the snow to the desert serenity of the lakes. The water of the soul must flow violently to reach serenity. Crossing a forest of symbols, one must endure the chaos of existence until only light and music remain. Here is our journey under this red sun.”
Raoul is about to embark on his first tour of 2025; see the dates below.
