Hélianthème’s new single, “Les Rivages” blends folklore, nature, and the search for individual dreams, released around the time of the Samhain celebration. The art direction is inspired by the fairy world and expresses a broader appreciation for nature. It fuses tradition, imagination, and the magic of the season.
The whole project was shot in the Fontainebleau area, and it is also about a landscape recovering from the fires that hit the area in summer. This adds another layer of meaning, and its celebration of nature acknowledges the environment’s beauty and fragility. The place is part of the release’s larger identity.
There are a lot of creatives on the production. Recorded at Audioscope, directed by Charles Domange and Tom Fonty, and mastered by Carlos Laurenz in Argentina. Octopus BZH again created the cover art, completing the visual presentation of this second chapter. The creative intention is clear between the different elements of “Les Rivages.” Hélianthème connects folklore, dreams, and nature to offer a release that celebrates imagination and the places that inspire it.
