Music lovers working at two ends of the music industry, they met a decade ago and decided it was time to take on the world. Their first travels brought them to Australia, where its music history led them to the Aquarius Festival. Was was this? Was it still happening? What was left?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Taken by their love for the sixties and seventies era, and probably because of their French roots where revolution is the national anthem, they ended up in Nimbin.\u00a0 What\u2019s more enriching than to have a yarn with rule breaking visionaries, activists, dreamers, artists and self thinkers?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Persuaded that stories shape the world, this led them to capture and create a unique format merging the stillness of photography and the motion of sounds through an interactive multi-art book.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Come and wash your sins at the Church of Aquarius, to celebrate the release of this book with a photography exhibition and audio installation with more goodies in the pipeline!\u00a0 \u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><em>\u201cNever before has this &#8216;alternative&#8217; community of Australians been so thoroughly documented with such style.
