Band

In 2004, Eddy ALBERT and Julien DELACROIX met each other while they attended UTC (Université de Technologie de Compiègne). They formed the progressive metal band Time Capsule and recorded “Love Addict” (5 tracks EP). The following year, the band split up due to professional obligations.

In 2007, the two musicians joined again and formed the progressive rock band Tesuji with Julien FRACQUE. In 2010, the band recorded “Time” (5 tracks EP). The EP was well received by the specialized press, and was even reviewed in the KR Home Studio magazine ().

In 2010, Julien FRACQUE left the band and the duo began the writing of its first album.

Tesuji is now working on his first album. More rock-oriented, more progressive but also quieter, this album will address themes such as human lives, stressing feelings and emotions (fear, anxiety, loneliness …) through small stories and instant descriptions.

Who am I?
I’m updating this page while listening to “Against The Rain”, from “Tilt”, flawless performance ;). I’m crazy about melodies, the unexpected ones, the new ones, those that touch me. I was a fan of Coldplay, John Mayer and Fiona Apple but also of Angra, Symphony X and Dream Theater. So who am I?

Who am I?
I am writing these few lines while listening to “Inca Roads” by Frank Zappa, one of my “all-time favorites”. I grew up with the hard rock of early Scorpions and Deep Purple, before immersing myself in all styles of progressive music. Today I appreciate the folk music of Pentangle as much as the extreme metal of Behemoth. So who am I?
