ORIENTS is the third long length record by Witxes (still pronounced "witches"), main vessel for french artist Maxime Vavasseur (born 1985). Two years in the making, Vavasseur admits it wasn't an easy one to work on, mostly because it deals with "being stuck in the illusion of infinite possibilities, with reality and virtuality becoming dangerously one". Featuring horns by Krystian Sarrau (Dale Cooper Quartet) & Matthieu Metzger (Killing Spree, Louis Sclavis Quintet, Marc Ducret, etc.) and additional synthesizers and percussions by Fabien Mysak.
