Beautiful song.  Great collaboration. Such an enjoyable listen to two of my favourite SC artists in one place.

I like the music and lyrics. Might make a good movie theme.

Feeling great, I wish I could understand the lyrics.

beautiful vocal tone that brings calm and relaxes the listener

J'aime beaucoup ce texte, si tendrement interprété, joliment inspiré de la très belle mélodie de Tom. Bravo et merci pour ce moment de pur délice

Je pense à toi
Au coeur de l'hiver
Le long du bord de mer
Quand tu avais les yeux de Chimène pour moi
Je fuyais comme un con par des chemins
Qui menaient tous à toi
Jusqu'à ce que t'y sois pas

C'est quoi ce film
Où sont les bobines
C'est nul comme il se termine
Quand je vois défiler notre vie devant moi
En pluie de confettis parce que tu es partie

Comme le vent qui souffle dans les plaines
Comme le vent mauvais de Verlaine
Comme le vent qui vient sécher les peines
En soufflant de l'air froid

Je pense à toi
Comme un singe en hiver
Perdu entre ciel et terre
Quand tu avais les yeux de Chimène pour moi
Je fuyais comme un con je te voyais partout
Mais je ne te cherchais pas
Va donc savoir pourquoi

Tu vois la trace
Des bateaux qui passent
Vieux rafiots, brise-glaces
Dis-moi où elle te mène les yeux si loin de moi
Si t'as la nostalgie là où tu es partie

Comme le vent qui souffle dans les plaines
Comme le vent mauvais de Verlaine
Comme le vent qui vient sécher les peines
Et nous pousser plus loin
Toujours plus libres

Tu reviendras
Réchauffer l'hiver
Mon étoile de mer
Quand tu avais les yeux de Chimène pour moi
Je fuyais comme un con par des chemins

Comme le vent...

Les yeux de Chimène (Tom Régnier/Alexis Roche)

This is a collaboration with Taylor Brysiewicz.  Upon discovering an adequately functioning upright piano in the basement of the conference room at the Banff Centre (where we were both visiting for a conference on Random Algebraic Geometry), we decided to play some improvisational piano duets which led to this collaborative composition.  Taylor had the foresight to take a quick audio memo on his phone where we recorded a few excerpts alongside some commentary about the chord progression.  After returning home from the conference, Taylor turned our fragments into a completed piano part.  I then added a flute part while trying to maintain the impromptu spirit of the original, namely, by locking in some of the improvised phrases from my early takes (as opposed to indulging in my normal habit of making dozens of rounds of revisions).

Composed by Taylor Brysiewicz and Skai Eriksson

EMU stands for "emulator" in Information Technology. The track is inspired by the cyberpunk culture of Japanese anime/manga, especially the classics Akira and Ghost in the Shell.

The idea was completely insane -- to produce an industrial/cyberpunk track sung in Japanese by a female vocalist with a very soft voice (to contrast with the dark atmosphere). The first time I verbalized this concept with someone, it sounded even weirder. So it's no surprise that none of the numerous Japanese female singers I invited accepted the proposal.

It's true that Japan is known for its innovative musical ideas -- like the death metal band Baby (with three little girls as singers); or the virtual singer Hatsune Miku (a hologram with synthesized vocals) and so on. But industrial music with female vocals is not a common occurrence. Björk and How To Destroy Angels are some of the few exceptions in the music world. And without a Japanese singer, the EMU project would never get off the ground.

Fortunately, Dreamtonics' artificial intelligence synthesized voices and its amazing Synthesizer V software are getting better and better, and I was able to use the sweet voice of Mai, a synthetic voice package created for J-pop (!).

This work wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable help of TN2 (Toku-no-2ri), group that wrote the lyrics in Japanese. Their extraordinary sense of musicality in the choice of phonemes during the creation of the lyrics proved to be a very pleasant surprise. Japanese kanji are famous for their ability to embed multiple meanings in their symbols and the first draft of TN2's lyrics was written in kanji (later rewritten in hiragana to feed Synthesizer V). The apparently simple verses carry several meanings that are unfortunately lost in the English translation.

TN2, or "Toku-no-2ri", is a psychedelic trance unit of "MASH" and "NORI". They had been inactive for a few years, but restarted the project in 2021. The group has formidable composers and I recommend checking out their incredible electronic music tracks available for free download on SC:

Hope you enjoy the track.

LYRICS

ささやきにしげきされ
しょうどおがかけめぐる
やみにうもれたひびに
ひのひかりときはなて

だれもがゆめをみてる
さめることのないゆめ
とわにとらわれている
とわにとらわれている

[Ghost in the Shell narration]

すべてがまぼろしでも
あなたのねがいはなに
とわにとらわれること
それともめざめること

だからおしえてほしい
わたしがだれであるか
あなたがめざめるなら
わたしはうたをうたう

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Stimulated by whispers
An impulse runs through me
In the days buried in darkness
Release the sunlight

Everyone is dreaming
A dream that never wakes up
Trapped forever
Trapped forever

[Ghost in the Shell narration]

Life is like a nodal point born in an overwhelming sea of information.

And life, when organized into species relies upon genes to be its memory system.

So, man is an individual memory system only because of his intangible memory.

And a memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind.

When the advent of computers made the externalization of memories possible, you should have taken its meaning more seriously.

My code name is Project 2501.

I am a living, thinking entity who was created in the sea of information.

[End of Narration]

Even if everything is an illusion
What is your wish?
To be trapped forever?
Or to wake up?

That's why I want you to tell me
Who I am
If you wake up
I sing a song

Here's something for you - lyric video for this on YouTube.

Butterfly

Lyrics - Andrey Voznesensky
Music - Nadir Shamuhamedov
(When I sang it for the first time, I was 23 years old and madly in love...)

English Translation:

Play, grasshopper, play,
Oh, my acoustic grasshopper!
And in these delicious musics
Save all meadows of August...

Play the azure of forest
And  the organs of Lielupe pines,
Sing me a song about the happiness
Of an flighty woman,
Because she is all, I live by...

Play, green music fan!
Our romance is orchestrated with sadness...
Love is not a musical toy,
But it’s also scary to break it.

Play, grasshopper, play, don't stop,
After all, your life is even shorter,
Than the lives of other musicians,
Even though they are not eternal too...

Lyrics:

I put myself aside
Did as you wanted
You never asked me how i feel..
I didn't say what i ment
Always let you to decide
What was the best for us...

But what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

I gave you control
To lead the way for us
Thought it would be easier for me...
I became invisible
Couldn't even see myself
But i didn't have the courage to say

What about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

Ohhh, what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

I almost got lost
Became my own shadow
Was about to erase all of me..
I realized that I matter too
And i am just as important as you...

So what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you..

Change will come
I will take control
And not be quiet anymore..
I want to be seen
I want to be heard
When i speak out the words..

What about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you....
