New collaboration with Peter Bennborn. Once again a fantastic ethereal piano piece by Peter which I sat on for a little while till one day, last October, I went on one of my weekly walks and images started accumulating. As I was walking, I was also listening to one of my favourite French artists, Allain Leprest, and so when I got back home, I decided to make a mix of all the elements running around in my head: I jotted down as best I could all the impressions and phrases that had come to me and then I went through the songs by Leprest I'd been listening to, picking a couple of words here and there when I felt they could get incorporated... so that the end result is about 80% my words and 20% his.

Music and mixing: Peter Bennborn (@peter-bennborn-project)
Lyrics and vocals: Yann Vienne (@non-sapiens)

If you want to find out more about Leprest, here is the link to one of his albums posted on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWpEAx_NrtQ&list=PLpwUqL0q8iXUDCuzaBYIwZkMWKe7c3C4L

Finally, here are the lyrics (I've outlined the parts I borrowed with asterisks) with a quick translation at the end:

Comme un * vieil ingénu *
croquer dans une pomme
comme la beauté nue
en poche un marron 
en somme un vieux con 
je m'en vais marcher 

c'est toi ma colline, je t'aime 
jt'aime comme ma tronche 
car je te connais 
avec tes ronces
tes tunnels de ramées
pourtant après toutes ces années 
* t'es plus la même *

profiter ... des trouées 
déboucher ... éjecté au-dessus de la ville 
* l'horizon loin *

le clocher... explosé (dans)
une flamme de feuilles fauves 
le soleil trop mouillé 
et je me sauve 

* c'est facile d'aller loin *
mais de sentir soudain 
dans le dos le souffle chaud 
d'une dernière bouffée d'été

* les moineaux démarraient *
vers la plaine et les nuées 
sans les Alpes, âmes scalpées
par la grisaille tartinée

Boire les verts et les roux
les nuages à la traîne 
le bleu du ciel qui joue 
* au moins une fois par semaine *

entre rochers et racines 
entre les buissons d'églantine 
sans se presser pour ne pas se mettre en nage 
on l'est déjà bien assez, en âge

et * sonné au sommet *
saluer un Christ blanc comme de la craie 
il doit se peler 
moi je vais marcher 
en apesanteur 
dans mes hauteurs

* * *

Like an old man forever naive 
Biting into an apple 
As into naked beauty
Water chestnut in my pocket 
All in all a gentle old sod 
Off on a walk...

You are my hill and I love you 
Love you like my mug 
Cos I know you 
With your thorn bushes
Your tunnels under the canopies
And yet, after all these years 
You ain't the same any more... 

Relishing... the gaps between the branches
Coming out... as if shot into the sky over the town 
Horizon so far away... 

The spire... Exploding inside
A flame of fawn leaves 
The sun far too wet 
And off I went...

It's easy enough to go far 
But to feel all of a sudden 
In your back the warm breath 
Of a last summer spell...

The sparrows were taking off
Towards the plains and the sun raining through the clouds
Without the Alps, scalped souls,
buried away under a thick layer of grey butter...

Drinking in the greens and the reds
The clouds lingering by 
The blue of the sky at play 
At least once a week...

Between the rocks and the roots 
Between the thickets of wild roses 
Taking my time so as not to break into a sweat 
One's quite old enough as it is*

And, knocked out at the top 
Greeting a Christ as white as chalk
He must be freezing
I'm off on a walk 
Weightless 
Up on high...

*untranslatable pun, sorry... ;)

NO MESSAGES ABOUT PROMOTIONS PLEASE!!!

Independent artist, writer, producer


I started playing gigs in 1968,  I believe I was in the eight grade. It was only junior high school dances but at the time, it was electrifying. In 1964, I remember watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" and seeing the Beatles perform live and they pretty much jump started my interest in music, Long hair, guitars and Beatle boots, very cool, still cool. I have always enjoyed good harmony parts and George's slide work has always inspired me. Over the years like so many others, I’ve played concerts, night clubs, special events, coffee houses, bars and such. Also toured the U.S. in 76. Now it's all about writing, recording, having some fun and being a part of the Sound Cloud community. Yeah man! 
Debut Album called “ Seafoam” released 2018 at Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.


Some of my fav producers would be Gary Katz, Jeff Lynne, Sir George Martin, Eddie Kramer and Mark Hudson. As far as guitar players, great hooks from Keith Richards, best tone Eric Clapton, best feel SRV! Best slide guitar George Harrison, Sonny Landreth, Derek Trucks and Ry Cooder. Most creative exploration Eric Johnson. The most original and always inspiring the GOAT Mr. Jeff Beck, he is amazing. Walter Becker had the cool factor and the Mu chords as well as wrote such interesting lyrics.

And a big thumbs up to SoundCloud and the SoundCloud community, and so many friends who have joined me to create.  Thank you all.

Delicate, nature-focused improvisations - inspired by Windham Hill Records, William Ackerman, Darol Anger, and so many other fantastic musicians.

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
