"ABYSSAL GEMS" takes us aboard MATYER's electro-acoustic sitar
for a dive into the depths of the soul:
an initiatory journey...
which invites you to dive into yourself to find deliverance!
Listening to "Abyssal Gems" takes us inside
of an intensely collected dimension:
the restraint of the game, its slowness evoke the spirituality of Indian music
in which the sitar was born…
that MATYER invests in the electrical strength of “rock” amps:
a magnificent and unprecedented alliance,
Fruit of an epic of "Orphic" musician...
This album was born from the poem "Candles of Darkness" ,
which evokes a long path of inner alchemy and resilience.

"You who were looking for 'something else'...
I wish you a good inner journey listening to my music!
My pieces may confuse you, disturb you, wake you up:
accept what you feel, because all your feelings have a purpose. »

" Me who remains a great lover of music 70s, I don't find any direct influence from it in this album... except, and this is perhaps the main thing, this breath of questioning that was in the air and in the music at the time, and this " inner exploration » which animated the spearheads of the cultural revolution started in May 68 … »
