I wrote this when I was 12. After ‘Maybe’, I wanted my next song to be more up beat, and fun! The song is about growing up and making my own decisions. I have kept it on my page as this song (and Maybe) was the start of it all!

DERAILED

Dreamtone Reflections is a journey inward and outward at once — born from the shimmering resonance of Tibetan singing bowls, woven with electric guitar, bass, drums, and organ. The tones open a path like stepping stones across water, leading into dreamscapes where sound becomes light, and light becomes reflection. This piece is both meditation and motion: a groove-driven passage into transcendence, carried on waves of harmony and rhythm. Main guitar part played on the Fender Stratocaster. E-bow parts played on the Gibson Les Paul.

My musical universe? I don’t really know myself! Just DIY, lo-fi, and homemade – with software, keyboards, and analog instruments (bass, guitar). Listen to my tracks and make your own opinion! ;)” — Mathieu
We also create with Mireille "Mimi" Lévis a collaboration and finally a duo group name Spleen Overseas.
Spleen Overseas is a Franco-Canadian alternative rock project at the crossroads of lo-fi, intimacy, and poetry. Founded in March 2019, the duo consists of Mathieu (aka Matiou) – bassist, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist – and Mireille Lévis, lyricist, singer, and visual artist.
Rooted in the DIY spirit, their sound is built on raw textures, captivating atmospheres, and deeply evocative lyrics. The band draws influence from The Velvet Underground, Joy Division, David Bowie, and Iggy Pop, creating a minimalistic yet emotionally charged aesthetic.
The name Spleen Overseas reflects both their geographical reality – between Canada and France – and their artistic universe. The word spleen, borrowed from Baudelaire, evokes a poetic world of melancholy, beauty, and inner storms.
Mireille Lévis contributes a cinematic lyricism to Mathieu’s music, blending vulnerability and intensity. Their sound often draws comparisons to artists like Cocteau Twins and Portishead, existing in a soundscape where the lyrics take center stage.

Mon univers musical ? Je ne le connais pas moi-même ! Juste du DIY, du lo-fi et du fait maison – avec des logiciels, des claviers et des instruments analogiques (basse, guitare). Écoutez mes morceaux et faites-vous votre propre opinion ! ;) » — Mathieu
Nous avons également crée  avec Mireille "Mimi" Lévis un groupe/duo  que nous avons nommé Spleen Overseas : 

Spleen Overseas est un projet rock alternatif franco-canadien à la croisée du lo-fi, de l’intime et du poétique. Fondé en mars 2019, le duo est composé de Mathieu (alias Matiou) – bassiste, compositeur, producteur et multi-instrumentiste – et de Mireille Lévis, parolière, chanteuse et artiste visuelle.
Ancré dans l’esprit DIY, leur son se construit sur des textures brutes, des ambiances envoûtantes et une écriture profondément évocatrice. Le groupe puise ses influences chez The Velvet Underground, Joy Division, David Bowie et Iggy Pop, dans une esthétique minimaliste mais chargée d’émotion.
Le nom Spleen Overseas reflète à la fois leur réalité géographique – entre Canada et France – et leur univers artistique. Le mot spleen, emprunté à Baudelaire, évoque un monde poétique fait de mélancolie, de beauté et de tempêtes intérieures.
Mireille Lévis apporte à la musique de Mathieu une lyricité cinématographique, mêlant vulnérabilité et intensité. Leur musique, souvent comparée à celle des Cocteau Twins et de Portishead, s’inscrit dans un paysage sonore où les paroles occupent une place centrale.
