A marriage that favors neither one nor the other but illustrates the perfect symbiosis of the two. Each opus is the next step of the journey and each step is linked by samples of words expressed by influential people and characters.

Stef was a founding member of the bands Swab (Paléo, Rock Oz' Arènes, Caprice Festival), Meïan (Rock Altitude, Mariane Faithful) and TFM (Bannerman's, Nice'n'sleazy) and Matt of the bands With May (Music in the Park, Montreux) and TFM (Bannerman's, Nice'n'sleazy).
Both multi-instrumentalists, they have a clear vision that within the band there would be no defined roles and that all avenues must be explored. When asked to describe themselves, their music, their background and their relationship, they simply answer,
