The visual of the song “Cinematic Insight” is centered on the highly symbolic nature of smoke as an essential component associated with spirituality, regardless of religious concepts, cultural philosophies, or societal values. #alexhenryfoster #ahf #thelongshadows #ameasureofshapeandsounds #cinematicinsight #spirituality #symbolism #smoke #rituals #culturalphilosophy #universalelement #impermanence #passagethroughtime #rebirth #lifeanddeath #ancientrituals #modernrituals #visualart #essence #behindthesong

#ThrowbackThursday I’m taking a moment to look back on this unforgettable performance of 'Summertime Departures' live at the Freak Valley Festival. That night was something special, filled with raw energy and emotion. #freakvalleyfestival #livemusic #summertimedepartures #throwback #livemusicmemories #festivalvibes #postrock #thelongshadows #musiclovers #concertmemories #liveperformance #indierock #alexhenryfoster #rockmusic

I know that some of you already received my postcard! I must admit that I was utterly impatient to see the whole affair be set in motion: I’ve been working on so many projects lately, but more importantly, I missed that type of old school communication between us. It makes me feel way closer to you all and it gives me the courage to keep on going no matter how challenging my days might be health wise… Therefore, there’s no need to say that it’s truly a blessing for me to do so! There will be several special postings like this one over the year, but the mailing will pretty be much ongoing as a weekly venture, so make sure to send me your contacts and invite your friends as well! 2025 is all about life, community and art!!!! https://alexhenryfoster.com/postcards/

My full open conversation about the project A Whispering Moment is out now! Beyond the subject of the song Shadows of Our Evening Tides itself (the main focus of the project), I’m also sharing about depression, cultivating a spirit of rebellion, and self-emancipation. #alexhenryfoster #thelongshadows #tangier #conversation #tangerinnpub

What an incredibly vibrant year 2024 has been for me and my bandmates from The Long Shadows. In many ways, the 2024 video recap is a testimony of our emotional resilience towards internal adversity and our fierce commitment to press on no matter how strong the wind we have to face is. I saw it all as the direct result of the blessing I have to be supported by exceptional friends, by an extraordinary group of managers in the midst of which I found a family, but also by the inspiring support, the benevolent affection, and the healing care you offer me through our unique relationship. This is what resonates so vividly in each sequence constituting this brief summary of a life. After coming so close to losing it, it proves to be one worth living without any limits. Thank you for being, each in your own way, the magnificent color that defines the singularity of my journey.

Here are a few more artists from the playlist I created with Ben, drawn from the inspiration behind Voyage à la Mer! #alexhenryfoster #ahf #shadowsofoureveningtides #voyagealamer #playlistinspiration #musicdiscovery #taylordeupress #christopherwillits #yusukotsutsumi #justinkleiner #williambasinski #explosionsinthesky #musiccollaboration #indiemusic #soundtrackinspiration #atmosphericmusic #experimentalmusic #musicaljourney #creativeprocess #albuminspiration #newmusicjourney #artisticinfluence #indieartists #musiccurator

A Quiet Tide - Part 3/3 The final part of my conversation with Jeff Beaulieu about the album “A Measure of Shape and Sounds” is now out! “It evokes a sense of weightlessness, as if you were lying in the middle of an unfathomable body of water, alone, at peace, one with the elements, immensity of which you are intrinsically a part of. To me, it’s an empowering tranquility.” #ameasureofshapeandsounds #jeffbeaulieu #albumconversation #newmusic #empoweringtranquility #musicinterview #albuminsights #musicdiscussion #soundscapes #peacefulmusic #postrockvibes #musicjourney #albumrelease #musicculture #tranquilsounds #ambientmusic #postrock #musicexploration #soundart #musicinspiration
