a bit on the mystic side this time! As always my friend Marc Niess on the trumpet (I tend to recycle some of his takes...) and first use of my new drummachine from Arturia.

As you may notice, I really like electro rock bands like first period of Death In Vegas, Black Strobe, so on!

The Day I found myself

My take on a crossover genre and also an ode to my prefered apples  ... Went mostly with my hardware toys that makes noises...

Stay healthy, eat (organic) apples! hope you'll like it!

Boskop

Quite an atmosphere in this one, I hope you'll like it!

Credits : Fabrice Luchini's 1986 lecture of Louis-Ferdinand Céline's masterpiece  "Voyage au bout de la nuit" written in 1932.

La vie en face

Done during those (very) rainy summer days... Perfect weather for music making, not for going to the beach :)

Hope you'll like that "Hopkins-esque"  one(or is it rather a Holden-esque track?) 

So, do you like malls? I really don't! 
Forget all hope in those places of despair 
=)

Do you like malls?

A musical tribute to the wise words of Jacques Brel about idiocy in an interview, I wonder what would be his reaction if he still lived in 2021... 

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I liked composing it!

La bêtise

Once again a new track, it's in an electro-rock style this time. It features a little more hardware synths & drummachine. 

Hope you will enjoy it!
Stay safe, make music! 

Feel free to contact me for collabs, I feel a little lonely in my homestudio :=)

Transactional

My latest track, it's always a struggle to define the right genre.


See you at the open office party and yes, everybody is invited :=)

Annule et remplace

Let me introduce my first track of 2022, it gathers many influences that a forty years old man may know... let's chop some wood from Canada maybe? :=)

Anyway, I hope you will like it. Take care and stay tuned for more

Bag of troubles

A bit of nostalgia, a little dose of guitar played by Vincent T. and synth sauce dripping all over ! 

I know that this genre is now so trendy (80s saturation!), but I always liked it... it brings me back to moments of my youth (says the old man) 

:) 

Hope you'll like it as much as I enjoyed making it

Found Polaroids

A melancholic/reverie receipt mixing ingredients from 80s synthwave and digital tones along with some post-rock vibes. Put everything in a DAW Owen for 1 hour and wait...
Hey, what a fantastic playground! 

Hope you will like my never ending thirst for arpeggios! :=)

Have a nice summer, fellow earthlings!

Just tell me when to smile again

I hope you will like this one!  

samples from Splice were used (guitars, voices)

Full of nothing

With working on this one I wanted to make more of a soundtrack creation.

Credits for the vocal parts come from the movie "Hotel des amériques" directed by A.Techiné. It's the final speech from one of the greatest french actor of all times , Patrick Dewaere. 
This is my modest tribute to a legend.

I hope you will like it (and watch good french movies)!

New World Disorder

When nostalgic feelings in mixolydian mode bump into synthwave it transforms into... this :=)

==Merry Xmas and a happy new year musiclovers and musicmakers all over the world==

Futur Antérieur

The first 2023 delivery, I hope you'll like this one!

Let's put all this through a shimmer reverb pedal and see what happens :)

Au bout de nos peines

Blending all lot of elements into this, do I know when it becomes too much? :=)

The inspiration here comes from people putting their feelings over science and facts. Definitely something to worry about.

Your feelings over our facts

As always, another "hard to describe track". I just hope you'll enjoy listening... 

Today's hero is the Matrixbrute synth : this track is a kind of a tribute to its glorious sounds because I unfortunately had to sell it !

Funambules

I tried on this one to combine some synthwave/glitch with some hiphop beats , not sure it totally fits but maybe it's worth giving it a try?

Être ou paraître

Back with some electronic psyche-krautrock with little sound additions out of the few analog sound gear I kept :=(

About the chosen title, you may know what I'm refering to... simple observations of mine!

Enjoy!

The third day syndrome

Hello ! another quick collaboration with my buddy Marc, trumpeter from the band Nunc (https://nunc.bandcamp.com/album/nunc)

Composed in the mood of an ending summer ...

Last day at the pool

Let me invite you for a moment of introspection, away from advertisments, idiocracy of our contemporary times. 

Picture: Charles Corbet, Melancholia; c. 1910 (autochrome)

Melancholia

To start 2024, why don't you have a taste of this educational "$eXy-eXotIc-h0usey track" ?

I for sure enjoy producing very different kind of music :=) 

Happy new year , best wishes to those who listen & share

Promiscuous

A track inspired by some ambiguous relationship to AI some might have ...


Having a collab with a singer would be a huge plus, I'm tired of sample banks :=) anyone?

I.A. mon amour

Another humble  homemade production featuring some vintage synths sounds, I was very inspired by early 2000s electronica like those Warp Records/AFX/Squarepusher etc... you know !

For those of you synth enthusiasts: I used on this one a MS20 and Pro 800 aka "the Prophet of poor people" :=)

À bas bruit

Thanks a lot to Marc Niess my brillant trumpetist for his jazzy improvisation!

A screaming televangelist (Jonathan Bell), a trumpet and some funky beats.... here it is! Let the light shine through!

Since I got plenty of time during the lockdown I choosed to rework a little bit this one...

Fiat Lux (2020 rework)

Another collaboration with my fellow gifted trumpeter Marc Niess, this time in a dub-electro kinda style. The whole thing is about life and what's left to live (who said "midlife crisis"?). 
 
I enjoy changing genres very often as you can notice and crossing over, bluring lines is the word ! This is also the first time I include some scratches I made, trying to learn some techniques...

Marc is part of a group called Nunc, check their page : https://nunc.bandcamp.com/

Le reste à vivre

Hi there!

I choosed to rewrite this whole song on mine, making it a little less melancholic. Vocals and guitar parts are total DIY (as you can easily guess :) 

Back in my teen years, I listened a lot to The Cure band, especially the Desintegration album (and I still love it). I tried to capture those vibes and blend them with a more modern M83 inspirations...

Take care, much love from France!

La vie rêvée des anges

Hi there! Back again with another song live and direct from my bedroom studio, in a way different style this time: industrial metal. 
I always liked early Ministry songs, Marylin Manson and also one major group in the french scene, No One Is Innocent. 

Here is my humble tribute to those masters that opened the path of crossing over genres.

Theme is about the emergency to save our planet, mankind not wanting to change and the apocalyptic future we might live soon.

Vocals are your humble host, pardon my bad accent (I'm french so I have an excuse...). Guitars are sadly virtual, although they sound quite good. Maybe one day it will be me playing those nice solos :)

Feel free to contact me if you're interested in a collaboration, I like all genres (except mainstream music, autotuned crap).

Boiling Point (We reached the)

A new one composed during the lock-down period, some positive vibes that you may like!

samples from a french I.N.A. documentary which features interviews from teens during the 60s about their vision of the year 2000. Gospels come from a Converse library sounds.
and synths mostly made by the little Microfreak from Arturia!

L'ancien monde

featuring Marc "NICE" à la trompette et guitare!
enregistrement éclair et épique sur Fast Tracker PC (qu'est ce que ça remonte à loin ça!)

Dédicace à tous les alsacien(nes)!


Kouglopf Style

back with another production, yeah I know it sounds like "Crispy Bacon" from the great Laurent but that was not intended (at first). I was just messing around with the Behringer Neutron wild sounds....and off we went to this neat dirty bass sequence.
Hope you'll dig those dark vibes!
Stay safe..............

Those are the misfits

I like every kind of music when it comes out from sincere feelings.  It's a language we all share and I enjoy its richness. 

I'm no real musician since I can't play any instrument except twiddling a DAW but you'll find lots of various music genres here. I like trying different roads. Experimenting brings me great fun! 

I'm open to collaboration, electronic, trip hop, rock, ambient... Whether you are a singer, rapper, guitarist,drummer you're welcome. Let's see what we can achieve. 



FR: une sorte de bricoleur de sons sans prétentions, pas vraiment musicien mais je m'éclate à assembler du midi et de l'audio tels les Lego adorés de mon enfance;et le tout en essayant d'apprivoiser la théorie musicale  ... mais je crains que c'est elle qui ne veut pas de moi !
