What do you know about the Maurin Brothers?

I've just today discovered that Annecy's Samuel & David Maurin founded three bands at the end of the 20th Century that have all been received and celebrated here on PA by a small number of members: NIL in 1997, THORK in 1998, and SYRINX in 1999. The interesting thing is that each was created to express a different aspect of the Maurin Brothers' unique perspectives on three different sub-genres of progressive rock music: Nil to explore the "Eclectic" sub-genre; THork to explore modern "Prog Folk"; and Syrinx to satisfy their "Jazz-Rock Fusion" fantasies. Remarkable, no?

How many of you knew that these three bands were the creations (at least partially) of one pair of brothers?

Does anybody have any more in-depth sources of information on the Maurin Brothers? 

Does anybody know what the brothers have been doing since 2009 when their last albums came out (Syrinx)?
