At that time they added new musicians, Alex Rigol (Guitar) and Yago Delàs (Percussions),even that they was focused on production they did some gigs,the most important in the Girona Jazz Festival (2003).Was in that time when they release a track on a compilation (Pink Funk in New Sound Theory II,2003) and the music for a TV spot.The idea of a group wasn't successful and they decided to follow working again with the original Lumière and released another track in New Sound Theory III (Believer,2004). After that they focused in other projects.
