In 2013, he was invited at the IBExpo in Sweden where he made an impromptu stage appearance and sang with Steven Hogarth (Marillion) on a premier performance of the track 'Naked' from the album 'Not The Weapon but the Hand' by Richard Barbieri & Steve Hogarth.

With GRICE taking centre-stage on guitars and vocals, Alexandrine features sonic innovator Richard Barbieri (Porcupine Tree, originally from UK electro pioneers Japan) on keyboards and as co-producer on a numbers of tracks. The 12-track album was mixed by Steve Jansen (Japan/Rain Tree Crow) who also lends his unique percussive input, tonalities and treatments to the work.
