Nouveau Papillon

Welcome to Nouveau Papillon.

Nouveau Papillon is comprised of Mark Bensette Aux Bois and Hildi Thelen. In their first session together Mark and Hildi realized the merging of their diverse musical backgrounds and the mutual desire to create music had resulted in a unique new sound outside the normal scope of traditional New Age music. Their collaboration and shared vision has led to the emergence of something much greater than their individual contributions, something altogether different, and constantly evolving, resulting in an amazing musical experience. The name "Nouveau Papillon" means New Butterfly. The initial idea for the name came from the free-flowing nature of the music they were creating together and because what they had to offer to the world was new and innovative. Mark and Hildi invite you to embark upon a musical voyage and experience the ambience of the haunting, soulful melodies of Nouveau Papillon.
