Broken To Pieces

Hi everyone, welcome to my SC page ! 

I'm a pianist and keyboardist. I love to write progessive rock music including some jazz elements !

My main influences are Steven Wilson (all his projects), Pink Floyd, The Pineapple thief and a lot of classic prog rock bands.

A big THANK YOU if ever you take the time to listen to my tracks, because they are quite long 😉

I recommend to use headphones as I mainly work on stereo mixes...

Late in life, Thomas fulfills his passion for creating and performing songs. Alice, one of his two daughters, adds her touch and her voice. The songs are for some in French and for others in English, and interpreted either by Al(Alice), or by To(Thomas), or in duet or by guests. We hope you will like it and encourage us to continue!

Auteur-compositeur de chansons françaises qui n'attendent que de bons interprètes. 
Après des études au conservatoire et musicologie à la Sorbonne, j'ai enseigné l'éducation musicale à des élèves en école élémentaire de 1982 à 2021.

Dès 1989, alors que je découvrais la MAO, j'ai commencé à faire des centaines d'arrangements de chansons pour enfants ou adultes dans tous les styles pour les faire chanter. Cette solide expérience m'a amené dans un premier temps à composer des chansons pour mes élèves. Puis, je me suis lancé dans un répertoire pour adultes. 132 chansons à ce jour !

Mon répertoire va de la danse traditionnelle française (La bourrée du maumarié), à l’EDM (La tête dans les étoiles) en passant par la musique classique (Double concerto pour violon, violoncelle et orchestre à cordes) et la chanson française, le gros du panier, avec le plus souvent cette pointe d’humour qui fait tant défaut aujourd’hui dans beaucoup de chansons, (ce qui est étonnant quand on voit autant d’humoristes fleurir aux six points de l’Hexagone…)

Même si certains apprécient ma façon de chanter, mes chansons sont faites pour de vrais interprètes qui aiment monter sur scène.

Né en 1961 à Paris.

Author-composer and performer... by default of French songs. 
After studying at the Conservatoire and musicology at the Sorbonne, I taught music education to elementary school pupils from 1982 to 2021.

As early as 1989, when I was just discovering computer-assisted music, I started making hundreds of arrangements of songs for children and adults in all styles, to get them to sing along. This solid experience initially led me to compose songs for my students. Then I started working on a repertoire for adults. 132 songs to date!

My repertoire ranges from traditional French dance (La bourrée du maumarié), to EDM (La tête dans les étoiles), classical music (Double concerto for violin, cello and string orchestra) and French chanson, the mainstay of my repertoire, most often with that touch of humor so lacking in so many songs these days (which is astonishing when you see so many humorists flourishing at the six points of the Hexagon...).

Even if some people like the way I sing, my songs are made for real performers who like to get up on stage.

Born in 1961 in Paris.

A bottle of absinthe (that of the cursed poets) and synthesizers, an electro sound on texts and very worked melodies: Absynthus.
Steph has always sung, she dips her pen in the bitterness of a stolen childhood. Her meeting with Phil Ulrich, a cybernetic angel who spent his life creating parallel worlds, taming machines, who produced Henri Salvador's "Chambre avec vue", shared his Kurzweil with Christophe, produced the video game Dune, the first cd rom in history, this meeting plunged them into a magical world out of a Tim Burton story.
Their first album: "Megatone" will be released in September 2024

Based in Wiltshire creating chilled out and the occasional not so chilled out electronic tunes :)

Interested in collaboration especially with a singer/song writer
