203 Years

= other people =

Ive got tattoos on my fingers
uve got tattoos in ur eyes
say it louder, yell it harder
and maybe ull hear with ur tongue

Ive put on weight with each movement
uve got them waiting in line
say it louder, yell it hard,
slash the ques, cut me down to size

“when they asked me to speak tonight” ull say 
“I was afraid of the way it would sound”
“but Im here for my children, 
should I chose to have them, depends on the crops”

“when they asked me to shoot the man” ull say 
“I was afraid of how it would come out”
“but Im starting a movement from scratch, 
Im a DJ for a Kurdish resistance who just wants to be loved.”

Ive got tattoos on my fingers
uve got tattoos in ur eyes
say it louder, yell it harder
and maybe itll end in a fight

I follow trends like a hipster
u fall and trip all the time
say it louder correct it
go back first u trip then u fall, then climb

“when they asked me to speak tonight” ull say 
“I was afraid that I might get shot”
“but Im wearing a bulletproof vest 
and my heads cast of lead,
let them try.”

“when they asked where u were tonight” I said
“I was about to say something nice”
“but I find Im too angry, cant even 
watch porn without crying—its bad”

uve gone; tattooed all my fingers 
Ive pushed my thumbs in ur eyes
think well soon be other people
u cant see straight and Im out of line

Other People - Rehearsal Recording - 29-03-2017

= epic =

in the midst of what Id call an altogether very bad year 
and no clairvoyance but the bleakest in mind.
dispositions are a thing of the past, and that, my dear, 
is what we have amounted to, with all the rage implied.

horde belongings, huddled like our recollections, stacked to climb up on,
to hurl them down; the things which took a decade sown with discord to abound.

u liked to breathe in fire; u had me breathing fire,

cut the cord and drop a ball watch all pleasant conversations turn to mud, rake some leaves on top to cover it up.
disputations on the way a life should be waged, 
running on minimum, one more argument for socialism lost.

whole and wrong, charging on a highway towards the deadest of lights
hurling down things which took a decade sown with discord to abound.

u liked to breathe in fire; u had me breathing fire,

go to gettem paper tiger

hose me down, cruising round these highways on the deserts of our lives
by hurling winds, these ships which sailed through a decade sown with discord run aground.

u liked to breathe in fire; u had me breathing fire,

go gettem paper tiger; go make urself proud

Mon grand-père Jules Ledoux est décédé le 4 avril 2017 à l'âge de 91 ans. 

Il avait accepté avec plaisir de participer au projet «Un 22 février en exil». De cette longue conversation de 3h, j'ai réalisé un montage destiné à être présenté à ses funérailles, pour sa famille et ses amis. Je n'ai eu qu'une soirée pour le réaliser. Je voulais le modifier un peu avant de le publier, mais j'ai décidé de le laisser tel quel.

L'entretien a eu lieu le 6 avril 2016, soit un an jour pour jour avant la soirée où j'ai réalisé le montage.

Il a toujours donné un coup de main aux gens qu'il aimait. Il a souvent aidé mon père à se sortir du pétrin. Il ne savait pas trop c'était quoi, de la musique contemporaine, mais il était très content de me donner un coup de main. Il était très content aussi de raconter sa vie.

J'ai fait cette musique-là pour ma famille. Ce sont les quelques accords qui me sont venus comme ça, en une seule prise. C'est si bizarre d'entendre sa voix.

Je t'aime Grand-Papa

In Memoriam Jules Ledoux

Canvas - 9 11 2017

This is a re-release of my first and only, so far, music album. It was created a few years ago and it marked an important period in my journey as a composer. 

Feel free to listen. It's a headphones-on lights-off dream-away music, so i hope you enjoy it! :)

The mind wanderer

PiL - The Mind Wanderer ( disquiet0322 )

First excerpt of my very last work as Ullapul.
Available soon on Polyglot records.
Hope you'll enjoy.

Amiens

Capturing midges into tiny wooden boxes.
Then connecting the boxes to copper cylinders.
Adding complex filters made of paper and cellophane.
Producing sounds with that... the sweet melody of hungry midges.
