Lake Folks: 1er EP

<p><strong><em><u>The project: </u></em></strong></p><p>Lake Folks is mainly <strong>a solo project</strong> that I have decided to develop with <strong>my guitar and my voice</strong>:</p><p> </p><p><img alt="Lake_folks_4-1497309532" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/433347/Lake_Folks_4-1497309532.jpg">                                                             <em> Me: Martin</em></p><p> </p><p>The mention of the "lake" in the name of my project refers to my home region of <strong>Aix-les-Bains in Savoie (France) </strong>where I was <strong>born and raised</strong>, and where I have learned to become a musician, notably through my previous band projects (C.O.D.E. and Cod'Acoustic).</p><p> </p><p>After <strong>a few years spent abroad</strong> for my studies, I have started to compose by myself and to share those songs mostly informally.</p><p>The songs that are on this EP have mainly been <strong>composed during my stay in the Netherlands</strong>. Since then, I have had the chance to perform those in <strong>several gigs in The Hague, New York or Geneva </strong>and the feedback I had only convinced me that I had to record these songs on an EP!</p><p><iframe src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FUoVImAUVly4%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DUoVImAUVly4&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FUoVImAUVly4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=cb39d84f05d8439bbe96012f078e02b0&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" allowfullscreen="" width="540" height="304" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><p> </p><p>Thus, now that I am back home in Savoie (France), I have decided to gather my musician friends in order to <strong>present to you this EP</strong> for the creation of which I propose you <strong>to participate</strong>!</p><p> </p><p><em><strong><u>Influences: </u></strong></em></p><p><strong>Lake Folks </strong>is a folk/pop/indie musical project with many <em><u>influences</u></em> such as Bon Iver, Kings of Convenience, Ben Howard, Villagers, Paul Simon, Ben Harper, Jeff Buckley, Sufjan Stevens etc.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img alt="Lake_folks_1-1497309639" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/433348/LAke_Folks_1-1497309639.jpg"> </p><p><em><u><strong>State of the project:</strong></u></em></p><p>The recording and mix are already finished. Therefore, I have good hopes that the <strong>EP should be released in July 2017</strong>. However, there are still a few steps to go through (and therefore some expenses, <em>see below</em>).</p><p>Since this is a solo project, I am alone in bearing the costs of this EP. This is why I decided to ask you to contribute in order to help me <strong>making this project as good as possible</strong>!</p><p> </p><p><em><strong><u>To listen to my music: </u></strong></em></p><p>If you want to have an idea of my 'musical world', please visit my:</p><p> </p><p><strong>-Youtube</strong> channel:</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAzttJsAeTbf1zLsMcQY1Iw/%20%20">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAzttJsAeTbf1zLsMcQY1Iw/ </a></p><p>-<strong>Soundcloud</strong> page: <a target="_blank" href="https://soundcloud.com/lakefolks">https://soundcloud.com/lakefolks</a></p><p>-<strong>Facebook page</strong><em>:</em><u><em> </em></u><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/lakefolks/">https://www.facebook.com/lakefolks/</a>  </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><u><strong>NEW!!!</strong></u>: Find the first extract of this new EP here:</p><p><iframe src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fw.soundcloud.com%2Fplayer%2F%3Fvisual%3Dtrue%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fapi.soundcloud.com%252Ftracks%252F329473946%26show_artwork%3Dtrue&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Flakefolks%2Fconsideration&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1.sndcdn.com%2Fartworks-000230001181-yvo2oz-t500x500.jpg&amp;key=cb39d84f05d8439bbe96012f078e02b0&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=soundcloud" allowfullscreen="" width="500" height="500" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><p> </p>
