ESTHER was written and produced between summer and autumn 2012.
This work is dedicated to my daughter Esther, arrived on earth in august, so it is full of emotions and strange feelings that overwhelmed me at that time. I tried to mix those feelings on this release.
Thanks to Gavin, Peter, Alex, Jeff.

//// REVIEWS ////
Breaking boundaries on the brighter and gentler end of soundscaping / mod-classical spectrum, “Esther” tosses and crackles flawlessly. The production method of “Esther” is similar to the end result of an album by a high caliber artists such as [ Grouper ], [ James W Dally ], [ Paper Armies ] or the mod-classical part of [ Dakota Suite ]. Dark, foggy and misty atmospheres are merged together resulting in a spaced-out drone with intimate classical warmth.
Needless to say as with the majority of [ Linear Bells ] works the music seems to be happening under the surface or behind a translucent veil. Single and drone(y) notes pierced out in the mist, abstract tunes cut off from the tray of beautiful noise. Gentle sound with soft beat that creeps in, just loud enough to slowly crawl your thought and pushes you to explore the brighter side of all imagination. [ THIS IS A 10 OUT OF 10 ALBUM ] GUYS.
THE SIRENS SOUND.
Esther succeeds with its many field recordings, the aural panorama and wide sceneries it paints and, most importantly, the different textures and patterns. I say it once more: David Teboul is a chameleon in the metaphorical sense and able to achieve everything within the realms of Drone. There is no particular flaw on, in, around or under this album, not one thing I would love him to improve. Highly recommended!
AMBIENT EXOTICA.
