My electronic tribute to our french rockstar

Auteur: Gilles Thibaut
Compositeur: Jean Renard
Chant: Johnny Halliday
(C) Philips 1969

Que Je T'aime (desperate mix)

An ode to spring, nature's always renewed. I hope you'll ike it!

Frühling

A melancholic/reverie receipt mixing ingredients from 80s synthwave and digital tones along with some post-rock vibes. Put everything in a DAW Owen for 1 hour and wait...
Hey, what a fantastic playground! 

Hope you will like my never ending thirst for arpeggios! :=)

Have a nice summer, fellow earthlings!

Just tell me when to smile again

I hope you will like this one!  

samples from Splice were used (guitars, voices)

Full of nothing

With working on this one I wanted to make more of a soundtrack creation.

Credits for the vocal parts come from the movie "Hotel des amériques" directed by A.Techiné. It's the final speech from one of the greatest french actor of all times , Patrick Dewaere. 
This is my modest tribute to a legend.

I hope you will like it (and watch good french movies)!

New World Disorder

When nostalgic feelings in mixolydian mode bump into some synthwave living in the back of my cranium, it becomes something like... this :=)

Peace!

Futur Antérieur

The first 2023 delivery, I hope you'll like this one!

Let's put all this through a shimmer reverb pedal and see what happens :)

Au bout de nos peines

Blending all lot of elements into this, do I know when it becomes too much? :=)

The inspiration here comes from people putting their feelings over science and facts. Definitely something to worry about.

Your feelings over our facts

As always, another "hard to describe track". I just hope you'll enjoy listening... 

Today's hero is the Matrixbrute synth : this track is a kind of a tribute to its glorious sounds because I unfortunately had to sell it !

Funambules

Here is some electronic psyche-krautrock, when nostalgic vibes meets modern times tools. 

About the chosen title: you may know what I'm refering to... simple group dynamics observations of mine...

Enjoy!

The third day syndrome

Hello ! another quick collaboration with my buddy Marc, trumpeter from the band Nunc (https://nunc.bandcamp.com/album/nunc)

Composed last year in the mood of an ending summer ...and mixed mastered again in the furnace of the 2025 summer!

Last day at the pool (ft Marc Niess)

Let me invite you for a moment of introspection, away from advertisments, from the quasi-idiocracy of our contemporary times.

Melancholia

To start 2024, why don't you have a taste of this educational "$eXy-eXotIc-h0usey track" ?

I for sure enjoy producing very different kind of music :=) 

Happy new year , best wishes to those who listen & share

Promiscuous

A track inspired by some ambiguous relationship to AI some might have ...


Having a collab with a singer would be a huge plus, I'm tired of sample banks :=) anyone?

I.A. mon amour

Homemade production featuring some vintage synths sounds, I was very inspired by early 2000s electronica like those Warp Records/AFX/Squarepusher etc... you know, the good ones that inspired us so much !

For those of you synth enthusiasts: I used on this one a MS20 and Pro 800 aka "the Prophet of poor people" :=)

À bas bruit

back again with a new one featuring my ever ready singer (you know, these little computer people living in a PC) :=) 

if any human singer is interested in a collab, feel free to DM me.

Leaving

This time I did a collab track based on spoken word. 

Vocals : Kuba Kapral (check his SC : https://soundcloud.com/kubakapral)

Lyrics, made using automatic writing:
"
Kiełbas pożydzenie, kreacja banału w kapryśnym kapuśniaku, kolego, weź paszport, spadamy. Muzyka z dyszy, zakręty, pęta, pętle, kolonizacja mysiej dziury, klony kaktusów, paranoja z nieba, wielkie, wielkie oczy, flagi wzdłuż całego wybrzeża, a na deser głupawka. Witamy w bramie podejrzanych kredek. Wystarczy rzucić kiełbasą. Rzut kiełbasą z gwoździami jako sport narodowy. Śledzie wypływają z durszlaka leżącego na dnie stawu. Dookoła osiedla świecą oknami, mrugają. Ale nikt się nie śmieje. Nikt nie śmie pokroić ciała Chrystusa, choć On o tym marzy. Świeczki na trocie starzeją się szybciej niż… Makrela. Od tego trzeba zacząć. Gołodupne wyścigi do sklepu nocnego kończą się mandatem poselskim. Gdyby nikomu nie chciało się pracować, ten kraj by upadł w pyle, na kolana i wzniósł oczy do nieba, po którym samoloty kręcą się jak owsiki. Tak, jesteśmy w dupie i trzeba przyznać, że nie przyznajemy się do tego. Na całość, pójdziemy, na całość, nawet jak bronimy się przed tym nogami i rękami, idziemy na całość, na czworaka. Kubeł zimnej wody będzie dzielony na trzystu. Kretyna, nasza ostatnia wyspa dostatku. W pałacu ściemniło się, słońce schodzi ze ścian, korytarze prowadzą do pustego oczodołu.
"

Dark palaces (featuring Kuba Kapral)

First release of the merry and joyful year 2025 ...

I hope you will appreciate it, since I always like exploring new sonic territories and switch genres all the time (who said I'm unstable? :=) )

Contact me for collabs, would love to create with real musicians (tired of my virtual band, they're quite boring and predictable)

Lost hopes in a digital tide

Another indie rock inspiration, I hope you'll like it!

The last book ever read

I hope you will like it as much as I liked producing it. 

Have fun and take care!

Echappée belle (ft Marc Niess)

New delivery! for the X-generation, a blast from the 80s : a pure FM rock nostalgia tribute with a pinch of modern sounds. 

Inspired by all people bored at their offices waiting for the vacations to come. Des rêves d'ailleurs!

Dedicated to my beloved Schatz

Summer Behind the Door

A sequel to an old track of mine called Boskop avaible here... same nostalgic vibes for a beginning automn. Hope you'll like it!

Microcephalus

Following on from my initial track "Futur antérieur," here's the result of a lovely collaboration started on SoundCloud with Nic (guitar, bass, vocals, and lyrics). 

His page is full of beautiful and original music, check it out!
https://soundcloud.com/nic_nic_nic

Lyrics:
Verse 1
We talk about tomorrow like it’s done
Like the damage has already won
We count the days before they start
Read the ending, tear it apart

Verse 2
Every promise sounds like noise
Every future, already cold
We hold on, then let it slip
A souvenir on our lips

Chorus
Retrofuturism — you and me
Looking back before goodbye
In the now, already far away
A love the future will have been, not mine

See you soon for more collaborations!

Retrofuture (a collaboration with Nic)

Most of the ingredients (Lyrics , singing, percussions, some acoustic drums , bells, strings) are provided by Nic   .... and the rest of the cooking is mine 

Bon appétit! 

:=)

Queens garden (A collab with Nic)

A fully reworked version of that 2018 tune, punchier, beefier than ever. I hope you'll like it. And.... don't forget to give the devil a black eye!

Thanks a lot to Marc Niess my brillant trumpetist for his jazzy improvisation!

A screaming televangelist (Jonathan Bell), a trumpet and some funky beats.... here it is! Let the light shine through!

Please consider that I don't support anything coming out of Mister Bell's mouth... People misunderstand people so easily today!

Fiat Lux (2025 rework)

This is a reworked version of a tune made with my mate Marc Niess back in 2019. He's rocking the trumpet and the keyboard department (Arturia Matrixbrute synth for the connaiseurs).
Thanks a lot for these good vibes man , you did a great job !

Spoken word originated from Loopmasters '100 Artists Pack'

Peace out!

J.A.Z.Z.

J.A.Z.Z. (ft Marc Niess) - 2025 rework

That one was composed during the lock-down period in the good company of a Microfreak. Some positive vibes that you may like!

Voices originated from a french I.N.A. documentary which features interviews from teens during the 60s about their vision of the year 2000. Gospels come from a Converse library sounds.

L'ancien monde (2025 revamped version)

initialement prévu pour une bande originale..
sombre à souhait

sample introductif tiré du zapping.

Les Gens Heureux

Aware of the ongoing uglification of the world and always in pursuit of beauty in art, nature and each one of us. 

We are actually the rebels.

Always open for all kind of collabs, singers are especially welcome but so are drummers, bass players, violonists etc!
