Luc Clouseau is the proud son of the French inspector Jacques Clouseau. Having the same talent as his father for investigation, he is to police investigation what P.D.Q. Bach is to music, a total disaster. When young and since his first name is Luc, he identified himself as Luke Skywalker and he was wet dreaming about Princess Leia. Unfortunately for him, he learned in the third Star War episode that Luke and Leia were siblings. His space soldier career then ended abruptly and he decided to pursue a career in the police. At the beginning of his career he was shot in the butt and had to work in the office on a wheelchair for 12 months, which gave him the nick name of Ironside in reference to Chief Robert T. Ironside. 

Luc Clouseau was assigned to investigate about what happened at the Boneman Mansion. Hopefully he will do better than his father.

Rust & Bones – Fetchflix TV Series – Professor Peter Plum

soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/rust-bones-new-tv-series-1

Professor Peter Plum pretends to have a PhD in archeology from the University of OxDodge in Detroit. He worked few months at the Ashmolean Museum in OxFord before being fired for having his diploma forged from an unreal University. He was then employed by Boneman & Sacks Relic Asset Management Inc. as a relic expert to validate the truthfulness of the new artefacts and provide official artefact certificates. With the right incentive, Professor Plum could probably fabricate anything old and holly. The more he would fabricate and validate, the more money he would earn such that he could acquire an historical palace in Portugal to please his lovely wife named Plummy. One day he had the extravagant idea to have his wife, Plummy Plum, immortalized as a bronze sculpture well in view in his garden. The voluptuous body of his wife made a bold effect in his garden and a scandal in his neighborhood. Now that Dick Boneman revealed the fraud, Professor Peter Plum is at stakes and risk losing everything including his wife should there be a deep dive investigation on Boneman & Sacks business practices. Peter and Plummy are deeply in love and one could understand that Peter would be ready to do anything to protect his marriage.

Rust & Bones – Fetchflix TV Series – Mrs. Peacock

soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/rust-bones-new-tv-series-1

Miss. Peacock was a fantastic ballet dancer as well as a famous fashion model showing up on numerous magazine cover pages. Her ballet dancer career reached a peak when she performed Odette in the Swan Lake ballet by Pyotr Tchaikovsky and her fashion model career reached the top when she made the Decormag Cover Page in 1983. Twice upon a time during the performance of the Nutcracker by Sergey Prokofiev, Dick Boneman simply cracked for her and asked for her hand. He took both hands for a tango and got married with her. Later during a ballet performance Mrs. Peacock fell on the floor and badly broke her ego. After that pathetic event the White Swan wasn’t white anymore and her persistent dark mindset made Dick Boneman to divorce her. A year after the divorce and in order to earn enough money for her costly life style she became “Mistress Black Swan”, some kind of a sexy fetish influencer wearing latex and presenting herself in a very provocative way on Pornhub.  She was eventually able to invest a huge amount of money in Boneman & Sacks Relic Asset Management Inc. that now worth nothing after Mr. Boneman fraud declaration press release. Mrs. Peacock mindset is thus deep dark and she is now a suspect for the murder of Mr. Boneman.

Musical note: You may recall the theme I used in the Rust & Bones Inspector Looso track. However, this time I tried to use the humor and derision of John Williams and added the sarcastic tone of the American composer and musical satirist Peter Schickele who created the fictional composer P.D.Q. Bach as well as the Gerhard Hoffnung humoristic music.

Mr. Wong is this famous Chinese virtuoso pianist that was invited at the Gaveau Hall in Paris to play Syrel’s 69th piano concerto in A-flat Minor Opus 666, also called “The Brain Miner” Concerto. The Brain Miner, Piano Concerto 13th movement falls in a crack of the piano repertoire and has a bad reputation among the pianist community. Indeed, it is considered unplayable by the Young Composers and most pianists that try to play it. Not because it is difficult, even though it requires large hands, but because of some special evil and dissonant chords that makes the pianist fall into a depression when reading the score. Usually after reading this score a pianist would start to enjoy Salieri’s music or even worst reading over and over John Cage 4’33” score believing he would learn something from it (Yes! this brutally silent masterpiece is called 4’33”). Just after the concert Mr.Wong was supposed to meet his future and lovely bride, Som Ting, at the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre for his wedding but he never showed up. Young Inspector Looso was assigned the investigation by his boss hoping that this time he would not fuck up. Som Ting Wong is waiting for Inspector Looso at the “Le Con” Restaurant near the Basilica. Will young Inspector Looso be there to meet Som Ting and will he be able to find Mr. Wong. Let’s hope Mr. Wong will not be found with A-Sharp knife stabbed in the chest? 

Music: Syrel

For your Health & Safety the score was not made available for reading. Your call is important to us but we prefer that you listen to the music instead of looking and copying my score. LOL

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.”

Musical Notes: The chord progression is partially based on the “Étude de sonorités #2” by the great Canadian composer François Morel and you young pianist/composers should try to play that at more than 104 bpm before saying it’s unplayable because there are many pianist who can.

Leïla Pignon, the dazzling daughter of François Pignon and Marlène Sasseur, is a star auditor at the Ministry of Revenue, just unlike her old man, François. Now, here's where it gets juicy. Inspector Luc Looso bumped into the enchanting Leïla in a stable near the quaint village of Brouage, France. Luc, always the sneaky fox, was pretending to investigate the "mysterious disappearance" of a horse that, surprise surprise, had never actually vanished. Meanwhile, Leïla was there to dig into the finances of the stable's owner.

In a move straight out of a rom-com, Luc invited Leïla to gallop with the most stunning stallion in the stable. His plan? To seduce her and, more importantly, create one heck of a diversion. As they trotted through the countryside, Cupid went full throttle. Sparks flew, hearts raced, and it was love at first sight.

But plot twist! Looso was one of the very owners of the stable and had conveniently "forgotten" to declare his horse rental income to the Ministry of Revenue. Uh-oh. Here's hoping he can pull a rabbit out of his hat to wiggle out of this one!

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.”

Music: Syrel
Photography: Syrel, France 2018
 
Musical Notes: This music illustrates the moment when Luc and Leïla ride stallions together and lovingly in the Brouage countryside in France. It is inspired by the music of Emmanuel Chabrier and David Arnold in Casino Royale James Bond movies.

Le Phare

Mémoires d'encre - Le Phare

Not all things fade by nature. Some are made to disappear.

Evanescent Frequency mirrors a world where decay is no longer organic but imposed, where lifespans—of objects, ideas, and even sound—are carefully engineered to be short-lived. In nature, resonance lingers, and silence comes gradually. But in an age of programmed obsolescence, disappearance is manufactured, ensuring that what was once essential is discarded before its time.

The music unfolds in this same manufactured cycle. It begins with fragments—small pulses of energy, scattered textures that gradually coalesce, gaining complexity and momentum. Harmonies expand, orchestration thickens, and layers accumulate, reflecting the illusion of permanence and progress.

At its peak, the structure begins to dissolve. But this is not destruction—it is an unraveling, an enforced stillness that overtakes what was once vibrant. The density of sound fades into weightlessness, harmonies drift apart, and resonance becomes ghostly, as if the music itself is slipping away into the unreachable. The frequencies do not end abruptly but instead dissolve into an ethereal quiet, mirroring the way things vanish from use yet never fully disappear.

Evanescent Frequency is a meditation on impermanence, on the forces that decide what is allowed to endure and what is designed to be forgotten. It asks us to listen—to what fades, to what remains, and to the silence left behind.
