At Église Saint-Martin des Champs - by Minua is out today!
In the autumn of 2024, Minua took a detour from their tour to record a selection of new compositions. They chose Église Saint-Martin des Champs — a humble, pre-Christian chapel just outside the village of Oltingue in Alsace — as their recording site. With its ancient stone architecture and rich acoustics, the church provided an ideal setting for the project. In many ways, the location signaled a return to Minua’s early roots, both in sound and in geography, evoking the intimate textures that defined their initial work. The resulting EP reflects this moment, merging the raw immediacy of a live performance with the contemplative ambiance of the centuries-old chapel.
