D.D.P. is the first EP from Les Arcanes, bringing together seven songs written between 2022 and 2024 and marking a foundational step in the development of the band’s sound.

The project’s starting point was the discovery of a sculptural work by the artist Claude Cattelain, entitled Dig Up. This piece evoked the image of a kind of “autopsy” of a skateboard deck, a vision that profoundly influenced the EP’s concept: dissecting a familiar object to reveal its structure, flaws, and internal tensions.

With the artist’s permission, the EP’s artwork, created by GLB, is directly inspired by this piece. It offers a stylized graphic interpretation reminiscent of architectural blueprints from the last century. Each panel of the sculpture thus becomes the visual equivalent of a track from the EP, with its own color, energy, and attitude, while still fitting into a uniform or extra-uniform whole.

Through this visual and sonic metaphor, D.D.P. seeks to represent the notion of personal development as a process of deconstruction and reconstruction: analyzing one’s own layers, accepting fractures, and bringing forth a form of unity from multiple elements.
