Visions ...
In a medieval garden, wild and fantastic, strange butterflies foraging with unique ornaments.
Blue eyes, green eyes, smoked kohl, star-studded glances, Hervé Lafleur
& Stathis graze the mystery of their strange silhouettes, out of a
legend, and drag us into the labyrinths of distant lands, Stathis over
his particular voice, grave and brilliant, deep as a tragedy, acute to
dizziness and Hervé with more felted intonations, a dreamlike thread
going up to the hieratic.
Like mystical nomads, Hervé Lafleur & Stathis have long walked the
streets, the dens of artists and the everyday, building their life like
a waking dream by drinking the beauties offered by nature, the human
being, the art and their underground crucibles. These wonders,
distilled to their skin-deep sensitivity, nourish their own
expressions, their arts in a creative fire, an absolute freedom.
Embellish the everyday then becomes the imperative evidence in tribute
and tribe to the breath of life, leading to a unity & harmony of
acts, thoughts, words, emotions, appearance and song: to be. Here lies
the choice and the ideal of life of extraordinary aesthetes with all
that it implies of courage, obstinacy and nobility. To assume one's
future and to advance at all costs towards its fulfillment, conceived
as a coherent work and freed from the ridiculous contingencies of a
society that is too materialistic and hollow.
The timeless seems to have affixed his seals to them as dreams,
emotional ebb and flow, rages and delicacies tattoo their bodies and
betray their ancient births far beyond the roots, from oriental dreams,
from a troubadour soul or from their dark romanticism at the brow of
the poets cursed
Hervé Lafleur & Stathis condense this wonderful wealth drawn also
from civilizations whose authentic cultures vibrated to the rhythms of
the cosmos, nature, men, their chimeras, their visions, their fears or
the true reflection of the mirror.
Write the words that go to the heart, melodies that rock the soul is
not enough! It is also necessary to know how to restore these universes
by the interpretation which is the conjunction of two talents: the
density of the presence and especially the voice, unique and
irreplaceable instrument.

Cross paths ...
Steeped in Art, Music and always greedy for beauty, Hervé Lafleur and
Stathis meet in 1994 in Paris. Their common tastes are so numerous that
they become inseparable, exploring together new horizons.
Hervé Lafleur's poetry rubs shoulders with Stathis' songs and
compositions and will be linked in 2007 when Stathis creates custom
music to dress up Hervé Lafleur's poems.
In 2015, Hervé Lafleur & Stathis Caucheteux were embodied as "Diseurs de Songes"...
