A story of Rudolph and Kai

Every adventure starts
with a story.

Kai spent the first two months of his life in neonatal intensive care. Every night, I read him Winnie-the-Pooh stories.

Now these songs take us back to that first book. This EP is a tribute to those stories and the moments we shared them.

A collection of five illustrations accompanies that return: the band’s characters, the music and a world we can discover together.
