Steam Patriots video trailer

[version française ci-dessous]

From Lyktwasst :
As mentioned in a previous post, Life's Decay began working with the future release of the "Steam Patriots" book series.
The book will be released in physical and digital interactive form (Ipad, tablet, audio book...) In this virtual form, Life's Decay music will serve as a soundtrack.
This will result in the release of an Life's Decay exclusive album, probably in digital form containing a dozen of previously published tracks together with an unreleased track and an exclusive cover artwork.
Here is the launch video of the project:

Life's Decay & Steam Patriots !



[version française ci-dessous]

From Lyktwasst :
Good news ! Life's Decay officially teamed up with the publisher Noble Beast to provide music for their upcoming book series "Steam Patriots"

About Noble Beast :
"Noble Beast, LLC is a Transmedia Publisher specializing in fiction of the fantastic.
Noble Beast is currently publishing the Steampunk Holmes series and soon the Steam Patriots series as eBooks, audiobooks, iPad books, and traditional paper editions."

About Steam Patriots :
"Noble Beast, the publisher of Steampunk Holmes, is very excited to announce a new book series, Steam Patriots, by authors Scott Wakefield and Rory Boyle! Scott and Rory, fellow servicemen in the U.S. Coast Guard, wrote an incredible treatment for the series that just blew us away! As if that is not enough we are also announcing that the artist for the series is the very talented Patrick Arrasmith whose vintage scratchboard art has graced many book covers as well as editorials in many national magazines. This is a creative team that can't be beat.
The series takes place in 1776 at the start of the American Revolutionary War and features, among other famous patriots, George Washington, general at war, Benedict Arnold, double agent, and Benjamin Franklin, a man who has fundamentally altered society with his fantastic steam-powered inventions.
Steam Patriots chronicles the adventures of Felix, a young man with an unusual gift of a photographic memory. Follow Felix through this alternative universe as he serves General Washington and apprentices to Benjamin Franklin in an American Revolution that is both familiar and alien. With huge steam-powered tanks, and other devices the Founding Father's never imagined, Felix travels across the Colonies and through Europe in a clever, action-packed, and often funny bid to win America's freedom.
As is the case with our celebrated Steampunk Holmes series, Steam Patriots will be released as a series of several novellas in multiple channels including ebooks, web books, audiobooks, paper books, and fully interactive iPad books.
The first book of the series will be available as an ebook in the fourth quarter of 2012 - to be quickly followed by the web book, paper book, audiobook, and interactive iPad book."

A little Biography update

[version française ci-dessous]

From Lyktwasst :
A little biography update for 2012 :

Life's Decay is a duo band, based in Paris, France.
Since its creation, six main albums were born together with an EP, a rare tracks album and a Vinyl disc.
Lyktwasst started the project at the beginning of 2003, realizing everything from the concept to the accomplishment. In 2005, he began working with Alea, feminine singer and lyric writer. In 2008 she also started to work on the music by introducing classical acoustic instruments as a composer.
Life's Decay has the will to create a personal universe, musically and visually, influenced by eclectic universes: dark classical acoustic music, steampunk industrial, experimental pop-rock...
A big musical evolution occurred between the first album and the later releases.
Lyktwasst and Alea unite their passion of music and innovation to offer different albums from one to another, invested and anchored in their own universe.
The graphics also has a huge importance in the project. Lyktwasst creates artworks made of solid black and white which establish a “retro – luxury” universe. Music and visuals are completely connected. As a “Dot it yourself” concept, he also realizes all the photographs, music videos, websites etc...
Lyktwasst created the label " Abstraktsens Produktions " in 2004 to assure the production, the promotion and the distribution of Life Decay. All the CD and the other productions of the project were released on this label.


De Lyktwasst :
Petite mise à jour de la biographie pour 2012 :

Life's Decay est un duo, basé à Paris, France.
Depuis sa création, six principaux albums ont vu le jour ainsi qu’un EP, un album de titres rares et un vinyle.
Lyktwasst créa le projet début 2003, réalisant toutes les étapes, du concept à l’accomplissement. 
En 2005 il commença à travailler avec Alea, chanteuse et parolière. C'est en 2008 qu'elle débuta à travailler également la musique en introduisant des instruments classiques acoustiques en tant que compositrice.
Life’s Decay a la volonté de créer un univers à part, musical et visuel, influencé par des univers éclectiques : musique classique acoustique sombre, steampunk industriel, pop-rock expérimental...
Une grande évolution musicale s'est produite entre le premier album et les enregistrements plus récents. 
Lyktwasst et Alea unissent leur passion de la musique et de l'innovation pour offrir des albums différents les uns des autres, investis et ancrés dans leur propre univers.
Le graphisme a également une grande importance dans le projet. Lyktwasst crée des artworks en aplat de noir et blanc qui instaurent un univers "rétro-luxury". Musique et visuels sont entièrement liés. Tel un concept « Do it yourself », il réalise également les photographies, vidéo clips, sites internet etc...
Lyktwasst a créé le label « Abstraktsens Produktions » en 2004 pour assurer la production, promotion et distribution de Life's Decay. Tous les CD et autres productions du projet sont sortis sur ce label.

R E T R O G A M I N G

[version française ci-dessous]

From Alea :
Memories, memories ...
For today, a post which is not really related to music, in fact, not at all : video games.
I a
m sure these game systems have also rocked your childhood !
So many hours spent playing
without the ability to save and so many hours of anger spent playing again and again, one by one the stages of the Addams Family.
Madness
of the game !
It was just in order to
remind you of those good or painful memories ... Your choice.
See you soon
,
our little heads
are still on and projects are always ongoing.




D'Alea :
Souvenirs, souvenirs...
Aujourd'hui un post qui n'a pas vraiment de rapport avec la musique, voire aucun : les jeux vidéo.

Je suis sûre que ces consoles ont aussi bercé votre enfance/adolescence !
Des heures à jouer sans possibilité de sauvegarder, et des heures à s'arracher les cheveux en reprenant patiemment un à un les niveaux de la Famille Addams. 
Folie du jeu quand tu nous tiens !
C'était juste pour vous remémorer de bons ou de douloureux souvenirs... Au choix.
A très bientôt,
nos petites têtes s'activent toujours et les projets sont toujours de rigueur.
