Une chanson que j'avais composé alors que j'étudiais la conception sonore à Montréal au début des années 90s. L'idée de base étant qu'après une rupture amoureuse on passe souvent par une période où l'on est convaincu qu'en fin de compte on serait peut-être mieux célibataire et que l'on ne connaîtra plus jamais l'amour... jusqu'à ce que l'amour nous tombe dessus sans chercher.

Le vacarme des poussières

Chanson composée le matin même lorsque mon père est décédé des suites du cancer. Une belle lune d'automne l'avait veillé toute la nuit. S'il avait pu voir le lever de lune de sa chambre à l'aurore, c'est un peu au nord de l'Île-de-Shediac, au dessus de la baie, qu'il l'aurait vu de sa chambre.

Lune d'automne

I wrote that song a long time ago. The original idea was to write a break-up song without sounding whiney or sounding like it's all the other person's fault. It's 100% fictional since at the time everything was honky dory with my girlfriend We eventually got married, had kids and eventually got divorced.

Disposible Fire

I wrote that song after my ex started to try and get a date with a local DJ. It's my first attempt at country music, I usually compose songs that revolve around rock.

Jour D'automne

I wrote this song as a fictional thing and a bit of observation on my part about people that can't get past the first stage (passion) of a relationship. They can't get the warmth of embers, so obsessed they are about the flames ;) 

I was surprised to hear Darlin' from Roch Voisine play on radio a few years after I composed this one. Both are very similare in chord structure and melody

Plus Rien À Faire

New take on an old composition of mine. I tried a shuffle approach to it. I have no problem with those kind of rythmes on guitar which is my main instrument but, on keys it's another story :)

It's just a simple little pop song that I first imagined as rockabilly.

After Midnight

Rich Dodson wrote this song for The Stampeders back in 1971. They formed in Calgary, Alberta (funny thing, I live on a certain "rue de Calgary" in Lévis, Québec) although I think they moved to Toronto by the end of the 60's.

In any case, I translated the lyrics of Carry Me into French and recorded a cover of it. I love the melody of that song. I was a kid when it started playing on Canadian radio stations back then. There's what CanCon and the CRTC probably did to have a great and positive effect for Canadian music and songwriters.

I play every track except drums where I used EZDrummer as a VST. Singing the song was fun, both the main vocals and the harmony parts. I don't think my own voice any special but what fun to sing the opening "oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh" :)

Apporte moi

J'ai actuellement composé cette chanson en 2016. Après une séparation j'étais dans un moment Boucan d'enfer de Renaud dont cette chanson s'en inspire (l'album, pas seulement la chanson du même titre)

Perdu

I wanted to write a lullibye for this one but ended up writing a rock-ballad instead. I just got a Hammond B3 modeling VST from Arturia. I always felt that song was begging for B3 organ sounds.

Berceuse

Retourner dans ses souvenirs c'est possiblement ce que ça donne... une chanson originale.
