Hi everyone !

Let me introduce myself, my name is Emric L’huillier better known as  « Sian », my artist name. I’m 20 years old and I’m from France.

I started my first musical project two years ago under the name of Skynoize. It lasted for about a year, then I decided to make a fresh start on my own, with a new name but also with a very ambitious project.

I am very passionate about art in general, very open minded and interested in experimenting with new things. I am autodidactic in drawing, digital painting, musical production, piano, drums and singing.

Sian is a very complex and wide project that has goals to create a story that evolves everyday through new visual and musical creations. Sian takes place in a fairy world and is filled with mysterious adventures.

The main hero is an elf who comes from another world mysteriously connected to Earth, its name is Sian. Magic appears on earth after the destruction of our society and leads to a spiritual era. Sian and his friend Keyboard Kid find a map that leads them towards dangerous yet thrilling adventures.


You can find the beginning of a story HERE


Most of the personas of this story are retranscriptions of real people who helped me create this project. Keyboard Kid for instance is an artist that you can find here :  Keyboard Kid Soundcloud

Each album, EP and track follows the story in a very original manner. 

The final goal of this project is to propose a Japanese animated series of two seasons consisting of twenty five episodes with a duration of fifty minutes each as well as a video game allowing you to roam across the world of Elsia.



MUSIC


Sian already released a full length album and an EP. The album is free so that you can discover this adventure and its extremely rich and diverse music.

I personally have a lot of fun exploring, experimenting and mixing different styles of electronic music. Still, I am greatly influenced by style that I appreciate such as j-pop, k-culture and EDM. I also use « chiptune » sonorities because my first ideas came from some of my childhood video games.

Here are the links to discover the album as well as the EP :

                                BOAS Album                    -                          Elsia EP


Both, the album and the EP, have been produced this year. I am myself someone who produces extremely fast, regularly releasing rich and complex content.


This year will also see the release of my second Sian album, named Gravitalia. I invite you to discover a little taste of this upcoming album down below-PS : this is work still in progress-



VISUAL


Visually, I started creating the design of my characters from the story in order to give it more depth and perspective.  In the year 2015 there will be a technical and graphic sheet of each persona available on LIENWEBSITE. There will be approximately fifty different characters throughout the entire story.

Here are the first two designs I made as well as the wallpaper of my recent EP Elsia in which you can already find four important characters of the story.


I am also creating the cover of my second album which will reveal three new characters as well as Sian's definitive costume. Here are some basic drawings I’ve been working on :


I also started to design the map of the Elsia world which will be available in 2015 on my WEBSITE, with about twenty other artworks (digital paintings). Here is a little preview :


Sian is extremely important to me, it allows me to channel of my creativity and to create the whole world I’ve been imagining throughout my entire childhood. Sian allows both you and me to travel inside a world full of love and mysterious adventures, and gives me the ability to communicate with my audience, push myself harder everyday and, most importantly, meet extraordinary people.

Sian is my life, I’ve spent a lot of time on it. This is all I have and I’ll do everything I can to keep this adventure going because this is the most concrete thing I have ever done in my life. I believe in the saying  « when you really want something, you can achieve anything you want ».

WHY DID I CREATE THIS FUNDING PROJECT ?


Unfortunately, Sian needs your help in order to continue the adventure.

A year ago I enrolled in a sound engineering school in order to improve my work as well as my musical production techniques. The school tuition was 10,000 Euros for one year. I had no other choice but to take a student loan in order to enroll in the program.

Throughout this formation, I had a lot of personal problems which caused me to miss a few days of school. The school did not allow me to take the final exam due to my absences. The production of my first album was almost done and I had a 4-year contract with a music label between my hands which would have assured me a regular income. 

In order to honor this contract I had to produce  two albums and one EP before the end of the year. The only way I could think of to meet the requirements of this contract was to quit the school I was in, which in the end was useless.

A few days later, I heard the « good news» that my contract was cancelled for a reason that still remains very fuzzy ; thus, I found myself dropped out of a 10,000 Euros program, no contract and a loan of 10,000 Euros to give back.

The reimbursement of the loan will start January 2015 and I still haven’t found anywhere to perform in shows or any sort of income.

Right now, I have two choices :

- Stop the Sian project and look for a job. 

(a job on top of the Sian project would not be possible due to the Sian project being very time consuming)

-Ask you for donations in order to pay back my loan and keep the Sian project going.

This funding project will allow me to buy some professional equipment necessary for any type of electronic music creation. It would also help me improve the quality of my tracks, thus have more opportunities to get a contract with a label.


Equipment includes:


- 2x Yamaha HS 8 ( Enceinte de monitoring) - 550 €

- 1x Nektar Panorama P6 - 425 €

- 1x Native Instrument - Razor VST 99 €



WHY DID I CHOOSE THE FLEXIBLE FINANCING ?


The amount indicated is the amount needed to pay back the entirety of the loan. Even if I do not achieve that goal, the money I do receive will be used to buy myself the equipment and pay back a part of my loan, buying myself time to find ways to make money through performances and get signed to a label.


Time is running out and my ambition is quite big but I am sure that with your support, I will be able to overcome this situation.


If we achieve the total amount, the second album and EP will be free and available to download as a thank you for your support. I will keep you updated via my Facebook page and my website.

If you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me via my Email address : Octaproduction@gmail.com

Thank you for your time and your support. I Love you All !!! <3
