PSRS ARTIST SERIES - Nicolas Godin (AIR)

We had the pleasure of sitting down (virtually) with Nicolas Godin in his new studio. As always, Nico was incredibly generous, offering our community some amazing insights into his creative process and musical inspirations. Our 2 hour conversation covered a lot of ground, as you can see from the chapters below.

Lovely

[@stevenponte6655]

Im very late to this but such a wonderful interview. I love where he says he feels the warmth and does not want to leave. Thats exactly how I feel when I listen to Air. I first discovered them while backpacking around the world in 99/2000. You would stop at internet cafes and they would always be playing these wonderful songs including Air. takes me back to wonderful memories!
