This is a song made from nearly lost memories of my childhood. I love the universe of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and I was eager to create a song about Sherlock. Also, I made the simple statement that Sherlock wouldn't be the legendary heroe we all know without a side kick of the caliber of Dr. Watson. For the duration of a song, I wanted to pay tribute to him, for him to become the main character and for him to give a modern vision of his condition and his thoughts.

Watson

A song created for my children because I was terrified, just like them, that around us, no one is reacting to the ecological emergency represented by the concentration of greenhouse gases. Everyone acts as if it's not their problem and hopes for some kind of miracle. I decided to make it a bittersweet song because everyone has good excuses for not making an effort. We are the solution and the issue...

Le Niveau de l'Amer (Remix)

Is modern man truly meant to live in society? Tensions have only increased, fueled by overpopulation, poverty, and xenophobia. Acts of terrorism and violence are multiplying without any real explanation: mass killings, knife attacks in public places, schools, bars, campuses... It's as if time bombs are simmering everywhere, ready to explode at any moment.

The Dark Side Of The Man

06 - Social Grenade

Who hasn't felt like they could fly while running at night ? At night, you sense that the supernatural is never far away. You feel liberated from social constraints, for better or for worse... This song speaks of a night-vision jogger, a serial killer on the hunt for his victim, a lover searching for a soulmate, a werewolf in the throes of transformation ? Only the listener will decide what answer they wish to give, as the song deliberately remains ambiguous about the ending to allow the listener to imagine the motivations of the character described within.

08 - Running In The Dark

In a future where temperatures have risen by 4 degrees Celsius, humanity faces unprecedented climatic phenomena. Unnamed cyclonic complexes render travel and communication impossible, and give rise to walls of liquid tens of meters high in the heart of the oceans, known as "wild waves." These tsunamis regularly sweep across the land, transforming coastlines into semi-desert wastelands stretching for hundreds of kilometers. The waves and winds eventually drive people underground or, for the luckiest, to mountaintops, while wars, famines, and epidemics decimate what remains of the survivors. Turning away from science and what remains of government organizations, some prophets of doom await the arrival of the "final wave": the one that will sweep across the entire world like a horseman of the Apocalypse.

07 - La Vague

I remember a time when abuse and harassment weren't yet recognized as psychosocial risks. Unfortunately, someone close to me suffered from it, and it negatively impacted her life. I wanted to write a song about this, a kind of cathartic anthem to harass the harassers, like a case of the biter bit. Because anyone can become a predator or a victim, and some people experience both roles.

02 - Like U

The song depicts the abuses of power by Mr. Trump's administration, which disregards fundamental rights and freedoms. The outrageousness of his policies is matched only by the shock he provokes through his brutal, childish and always unpredictable methods. Rarely in our time have lies, bad faith, and self-interest been displayed with such vigour and transparency in broad daylight and for all to see.
The energy of this song aims to raise awareness and encourage the fight for justice and freedom not only in the United States but throughout the world, because our era still has its share of dictators, some more easily identifiable than others.
The artist wanted to demonstrate his support for the "No Kings" movement, which was born spontaneously in response to this shameful and unrestrained policy.

01 - Insane And Powerful

The global drug economy is estimated at around $300 billion annually, comparable to the highly lucrative gaming industry. According to the latest estimates, 275 million people have used drugs at least once in their lives. Whether recreational, stimulant, illicit, or simply a means of coping with despair, drugs take many forms but have become ubiquitous and pervasive in our societies. What are these shadowy substances that govern the world?

05 - King Of Me

Desperately torn between East and West, Europe remains ungovernable and prey to national interests that still far outweigh the common good. Aided by a corrupt administration and constantly targeted by all kinds of lobbies, will Europeans ever realize the importance of being part of a strong and united Federal Europe? Brexit, the war in Ukraine, and the rise of nationalism suggest that we are still far from being able to live together.

04 - European Babel

For millions of years, our species teetered on the brink of extinction. Our survival instinct, it seems, allowed us to weather this difficult period, incidentally causing several mass extinctions of other species, including probably our Neanderthal cousins. A serial killer was born: Homo sapiens. Now, we are threatened by overpopulation and obesity. This primitive brain that once saved us has become a burden of selfishness and aggression, obstacles to the empathy and sociability we so desperately need today.

03 - Dark Insider

A french amateur, passionate about music and enamored with his native language, he revels in eclecticism and refuses to be confined to any single genre or topic. He welcomes inspiration as it comes and likes to think of his collection of songs as a box of chocolates: "surely, you might not savor every piece, but you'll always find one that delights your taste buds"
