Heliophile is synther-songwriter Gijs van Ouwerkerk from Enschede, The Netherlands.
June 2014 marks the release of the new EP "Downhill from Here", another highly melodic and lyrically thought-provoking work. The phrase 'downhill from here' is a theme that unites the five tracks, whether it relates to economic decline, relationships, or the final march of the Cathars down Mount Montségur after they surrended to be burnt at the stake. In the CD version, these topics are powerfully illustrated by Gijs van Ouwerkerk's professional photography, for which he travelled to Germany and England.
Beautiful digipack CD, featuring a 12 page booklet with all the lyrics and the professional photography of Gijs van Ouwerkerk. The disc is a professionally duplicated CD-R.
