2018 songs and collabs

I sat down to work on some of the tracks I should be working on and this is what happened. I don't do too many covers and this must be the shortest track I've ever recorded.

From the Boys Don't Cry album (well it was on my vinyl version -  it disappeared from the CD)

World War (Cure Cover)

All right , I'm going to play a classic symphony I don't really like next week...a little song came out about some classic musicians being sometimes a little bit exclusive and narrow minded about music, thinking all the good music lies in the old classic world ...This is just a little song about being  open minded  to other styles  ....and being open to different music streams and mixes of  influences ... well that' just the way I feel :)

J'écoute du jazz Gitan
Jaime aussi beaucoup le hip-hop
J'adore , j'adore le bon vieux rockn'roll
Et puis quand quand j'ai le blues , j'appelle le 12 (merci Francis) 

Pas conforme, pas conforme 
Pour mes amis du classique

Pas conforme , pas conforme,
Mais ... c'est trop bon le mélange de musiques :-)

Pas Conforme

2. MORE WIVES MORE WITCHCRAFT

Serotonin Smiles

Taken from the  Endless Blue EP available here - https://blacksand1.bandcamp.com/album/endless-blue

Endless Blue

Just a little  track  made from the inspiration of the moment ...and playing with a multi band compressor for the first time  ...Hope you have a good time listening, have a great week , Steph :)

I 'm Coming To You Babe

This is a phone recording of our last concert in the church of Fontainebleau. A real challenge  to play the clarinet mostly in very high register and in harmony with the flute and oboe in this complex and vibrant symphony. It felt really good to play with my  friends of the Orchestre Symphonique du Pays de Fontainebleau, it will remain as a great memory for all of us. Hope you feel the passion of our conductor !!

Another attempt of mix on this song that kind of sticks to me at the moment. Hope you like this version ! Old version https://soundcloud.com/ddjohn/i-m-coming-to-you-babe-mix-master.
Have a great WE Steph

I 'm Coming To You Babe (remix)

It seems we need music at the moment ... This came to me this morning and is dedicated to all the musicians trying to bring  a bit of love and light in these dark times ...Hope you enjoy this homemade humble  musical trip  to a conforting blue lagoon !! All the very very best  Steph

My Blue Lagoon

This is an extended version of an old track ....sort of a "dynamic" reflection of the many uncertainties we're facing at the moment ...Be safe  Steph

All real instruments except drum parts played by myself (clarinet, guitars, trumpet, bass), home recorded and processed.
Drum loops generated with Cubase

Mais Où Va -T- On  ?

This morning's idea turned into a little  confined fun session ... Have a good week & stay safe  Steph

Beep Beep (le Grand Chambardement)

Some artists like Françis Cabrel are doing a great job playing a song"confined" every day one line... I've loved Françis Cabrel for a long time ... Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel are very present in his last covers... If only he could refer to Django Reinhardt I thought  recently ...so I guess I had to try something .. mixing styles my own way, so this is a song  kind of a Cabrel-Brassens-Reinhardt way  ;-) Hope you enjoy !

Tu sais
On n'a pas pas toujours la chance
De voir les gens qui dansent
Moi ça va tant que ça balance..
Et vive le Swing !!

Tu sais
Il n'y aura peut être pas de vacances
Il faudra, masqués, qu'on avance,
Moi entre bib et bop mon cœur balance
Et ça me rend swing

Est-ce que tu sais , tu sais tout ça ?
Tous ces doutes et ces abstinences ...
Cette sociale disturbance...
Cette inique pénitence ...
Mais quand est-ce qu'on...
Mais quand est-ce qu'on danse ?

Est - Ce Que Tu Sais

Involved in different local music associations with my clarinet  (in classic and jazzy mode) ,  I also  love to play the guitar, I love to try to create and produce music with Cubase and different other instruments at home. I love all forms of music. 
Thank you reading these lines, for your kind words , listens and all forms of appreciation and support, I'm always happy to explore,  discover new sounds  and collaborate on this unique platform with wonderful musicians  !!
