A conceptual album featuring a non stop 14 tracks play-list.

"Taking advantage of a Discovery shuttle fly ticket, in a way of a 21st century's Christopher Colombus, this album invites us to a sound worlds exploration featuring undefinable reflects. Throughout some synchronous reverberated melodies, also tinted with both positivism and melancholy, telluric hummings, atmospheric choirs, sunny climates, oxyacetylenic rains, twinklings in levitation, and other cloudy calmness atmospheres are meeting". EXPLORA was dedicated to Claudie Haigneré (born Andre-Deshays), the first French female astronaut and currently French Minister for Research and New technologies.
