epsylon - news

Hello friends, Due to a lot of work and changes in both of our lives we've been unable to regularly bring you any updates. Just wanted to post this to tell you that Epsylon is definately not dead :-) We're still working on a lot of new stuff as much as we can, and we hope from now on, times will get calmer and we can focus more again on what we love the most, making music! About Epsylon's first videoclip: We were supposed to start shooting the clip for a new single next monday, June 14th. But due to said reasons, we also had to postpone this. We could have gone through with it, but we want everything surrounding our next production to be 100%. So, we decided to give it some more time in order for everything to be as good as it can get ;-) We'll keep posting updates and news as we go along! Big thanks for the patience, kind mails and support! Y & S Epsylon
Added some pictures of our beloved 'Producer Cat' in the Photo gallery. ;-)
Epsylon will start shooting their first video for the new single on June 14th 2010 (Yves' birthday by the way) . The video will be directed by Yves Peeters (Tricoteuse Films) Some of his movies can be viewed by clicking Here More details will follow shortly!
Hi all, Little update to tell you that the composition for Epsylon's new single has been finished and Sylvie's currently working on the lyrics.

Heavy Easter to all of ya! Cheers!
