Fourteen songs to listen to through dark and uncertain times, spend the night until the following day when everything could change. This solo vocal performance enhanced by a fretless baritone guitar recorded in mono by a single microphone reveals the specific sounds of the room and its outside world. 'Poèmes de la veille' sounds like old songs that we still talk about today: a journey into raw reality.
