Creative experimentation
Experimentation is one of the main philosophies of Psy’Aviah. This is portrayed by both incorporating different genres into their own sound and by the different collaborations they have done over the years: from poetry with Suzi Q. Smith and Jean-Luc De Meyer (Front 242), to EBM power-pop with Jennifer Parkin (Ayria), trip-hop & lush warm vocals by Kyoko Baertsoen (ex-Hooveprhonic & Lunasxcape), covered by Chaos all Stars ft. Mona Roukachi, and even to Enya-esque reminders with Kristell Lowagie.
Due to this varied pallet in both music and lyrics, the band fits well on different stages: from main-stream pop, rock and electronic festivals, as well as more gothic, EBM and experimental oriented shows.
Track record…
Formed in 2003, but mainly focusing on experimenting and playing live shows, the band really took form in 2007 when they released their first album “Creationism”. Shortly after that release Psy’Aviah was signed to “Alfa Matrix” records and with them they released the albums “Entertainment Industries” (2008), “Eclectric” / “Eclectricism (2CD Limited Edition)” (2010), “Into The Game DJEP” featuring Ayria (2011), “Introspection ~ Extrospection” / “Restrospection” (2CD Limited Edition)” (2011), “Contraspection” (Digital Only Release) (2011) and “OK / Virtual Gods DJEP” (2012) with remixes by Jan Vervloet, M.I.K.E., Radical G, NUDE, and more…
Renewing their contract in 2012 the band worked on releasing the concept (mini)-album "Future Past" (2013) and a single/remix EP "Our Common Future ft. Kyoko Baertsoen" (2014) to mark the new "Era" of Psy'Aviah: collaborating once again with a lot of new artists to bring variety in the vocal palette. At the moment Psy'Aviah is working on a new full length album.
Members
The band was initially founded in 2003 by producer and composer Yves Schelpe. In 2007 he was joined by vocalist Emélie Nicolaï and guitarists Kristof De Clerck (2007-2011) and Ben Van de Cruys (2011-...). From 2013 on with the album "The Xenogamous Endeavour" the project moved away from a tradition line-up, and Yves focused back on inviting guest vocalists and musicians on the songs, thus returning back to the roots.

Line by Line Meaning
I’ll never fall again, never fall again
I will not allow myself to become vulnerable and succumb to the same old habits that caused me pain in the past
I won’t pretend it’s all ok, all ok
I won't pretend that everything is fine when things actually appear bleak and unsettled
No more illusions, no more mistakes
I am done with delusions and errors that have cost me too much already
I won’t go back to yesterday, yesterday
I have no intentions of revisiting my past experiences and will stay in the present to avoid repeating past mistakes
I’ve learned to stand up, and find my way
I have now learned to be independent and not rely on anyone to navigate my life path
I’ll never fall again, never fall again
I will do everything within my power to remain unfaltering and will not allow myself to fall again
I will not be a victim, not again
I refuse to be used as an object and taken advantage of a second time
I won’t let darkness take over me
I will not let bad energy or circumstances consume me and rather choose to stay positive during bad times
I won’t let fear control my destiny
I refuse to let fear determine my fate and rather choose to be brave and take command of my life
I’ll never fall again, never fall again
I will never let my guard down enough to allow myself to fall once again
