PRESS/DIE FRAU
CHRISTOPHE VOISIN-BOISVINET spent his childhood in the Loire Valley in central-western France: a stunning, rural region defined by its series of sky-piercing castles. So it really shouldn’t be a surprise that he grew up to be the multi-instrumentalist of a historical progressive folk collective.
“As a child, I was introverted and surrounded by these medieval ruins and fortresses,” the mastermind behind Skáld tells Prog – or, more specifically, his interpreter tells Prog, since he speaks in French.“I used to play in these special places a lot by myself. My parents say that I’d always ask things like,‘Why don’t we tell stories about our past? What were things like before?’ So I’ve always had a link with medieval culture. I think that’s the time when I also got into music.”
