Built in late 2001 around French songwriter, multi-instrumentist and producer Pascal Hallibert, Templo Diez (a.k.a. Templo X) is an indie multi-configuration collective based in The Hague (Netherlands) and Paris (France). Inspired by acts such as the Velvet Underground, Cat Power or Palace, Templo Diez incorporates various post-rock styles in intimate songs delivered with an almost cinematographic feeling. Ranging from minimalistic production to string-based arrangements, often playing with noise and sound manipulation, each track gets its own atmosphere, telling its own story. The lyrics, inspired by authors such as Bukowski, Fante or Coupland, convey introspective tales of hope, despair, love and redemption. Templo Diez has recently released its debut CD Hoboken, which received great reviews from the Dutch national press (OOR, Live XS). Pascal is also active in different side-projects, mainly as frontman of the Hague-based indie-rock band Miss Wyoming or producer (ranging from alternative country to French Touch Electro). As a singer/songwriter, he reached the 2001 finals of the Grote Prijs van Nederland (Dutch national music competition). « Minder
