Dayhobé

Change The World - 2:58

This song is been created to support Obama campaign, it was very popular on Myspace and I decided to include it into this album even if the style is a little bit off compare with the others songs. The voices are all computer generated and that’s why this song as a place in this album…

Cantor - 5:46

Made with several unique computer generated opera voice, a Soprano and a Tenor, this song is is the pure style of orchestral mix with electronics I love doing.

I’ve used the following tools to create the voices and the instruments.

Flashden - 3:26

This is the last song I publish from the Album Voiceless, the album is ready and will be in iTune very soon! This song is a mix of everything I’ve made for a contest but I haven’t finished on time. The contest was giving 5 notes played by the piano at the beginning as a base to start, and everyone had to make his own version.

This song is only made with computers, using mostly only East West Plug-ins.

Waves - 4:42

This song features some ethnic voices (Arabian?) generated by computers. It was created to illustrate a video of a realtime Ocean I have posted on youtube, you can check it here.

Dayhobé - 5:45

A very nice and mystic song again made with some vocoder voices. Dahobe means nothing, it just sounds good. Check the video clip here:

Under the Ice - 4:43

Lullaby - 2:34

A little gift to be included in the Voiceless album this Lullaby (berceuse in French) was made for a Friend who had some problems with her kid to get him to go to bed. The melody is based on a song she wrote that was named ‘I hold on’, and you can actually sing the verse on the guitar…

Cantor

This is a song I’ve made the music with a guitar in the 80’s… I was maybe 16 or 17. I remember singing it to my first girlfriend. She broked up just after.  I finnally changed the lyrics for Helena and we recorded several versions.

This one is interesting because it is one we have done jamming, with nothing else than me at the piano and her singing : ‘unplugged’ . There is a different emotion. (note : the mp3 music is at the bottom of the page)

LE TEMPS PASSE (Unplugged)

Où irons-nous, où irons-nous

Si l’on tue cette précieuse atmosphère

Où irons-nous, où irons-nous

Si l’on coupe des forêts entières

Si loin, si loin d’ici

Si profond, si sombre aussi

Que tu sois blond ou brun, métissé ou cajun

On respire tous la même atmosphère

Ces effluves voyagent et surfent sur les vagues

Pour elles, il n’y a pas de frontière

Où iras-tu si tu ne peut plus respirer

Au fond d’un trou, profond et sans lumière

Le temps passe, l’avenir nous laisse de glace

Le temps passe, chaque jour laisse une trace

Le temps lasse, savoir que rien ne se passe

Je t’enlace, mon Dieu, faites que ça se fasse

Au petit jour

On est comme des fous, on bouffe et on bouffe

Comme des phacochères

Nos cités sont immondes, nos villes sont sombres

Ca pue, il n’y a rien à faire

Le prédateur, s’il y a prédateur, c’est nous

Même si l’on prend des douches, les odeurs d’immondices

C’est nous

Le temps passe, l’avenir nous laisse de glace

Le temps passe, chaque jour laisse une trace

Le temps lasse, savoir que rien ne se passe

Je t’enlace, mon Dieu, faites que ça se fasse

Au petit jour

Où irons-nous, où irons-nous

Si l’on tue cette précieuse atmosphère

Un jour, un désastre, une maladie miracle

Nous aura avant qu’il n’y ait plus d’air

Que la nature reprenne sur nous ses droits

Et dans le bleu azur, le soleil brûle nos lois

Le temps passe, l’avenir nous laisse de glace

Le temps passe, chaque jour laisse une trace

Le temps lasse, savoir que rien ne se passe

Je t’enlace, mon Dieu, faites que ca se fasse

Le temps Passe

This song was made in 1988. It took me some time to record it, I first wrote it and did nothing until I found the time in 1991 while I was doing the Prophecy concept album.

It is a simple song, about friendship after love. (note : the mp3 music is at the bottom of this page).

SOIGNER TA SOLITUDE

Il est temps que tu ailles sur un autre chemin,

Prend un sac à bagages et emporte presque rien

Tu laisseras derrière toi les parfums du matin

La rosée sur la vitre du jardin

Des nouvelles frontières comme une missionnaire

Tu veux changer d’air d’amis, de frères

Efface les traces derrière toi

Et ne te retourne pas

Je vivrais comme une ombre

A chacun de tes pas

Mais si t’es triste, si t’es mal

Je viendrais juste pour un soir

Soigner ta solitude

Il est temps que tu partes pour croiser ton destin

Laisser juste la trace de tes doigts dans ma main

Ne t’accroche pas à moi je ne suis plus qu’un copain

Fonce et trouve ta voie et ce dont tu as besoin

Dans d’autres yeux d’autres lèvres

Entre d’autres rêves tu veux changer d’air

D’amant, de frères

Efface les traces derrière toi

Et ne te retourne pas

Je vivrais comme une ombre

A chacun de tes pas

Mais si t’es triste, si t’es mal

Je viendrais juste pour un soir

Soigner ta solitude

Soigner ta solitude

This album is exclusively in French… sorry guys!

I recorded it in 1992-1993 and it was inspired from the very strange story of the mother of a friend named Pascal de France.

She was thinking very seriously that she was possessed by an Aliens who reincarnated in her mind after his dead. He was ‘eating’ her personality step by step and she was becoming him. She started to paint some horrible drawing of her past life, speaking a different language (even wrote a dictionary about it… She became eventually a man (got surgery)).

The song at the heart of this album is named Nadrys : the name of this Alien. Pascal took the song to show her and she/he liked it.

This album ended up doing a very weird one, with lyrics speaking about ghosts, drugs and after death! Finally, I didn’t finished it because Pascal died strangely, alone in his huge castle…

Here is a medley from the album : Medley Nadrys

A song I created in 2003 and I decided to add it to this compilation of songs. The song tries to re-create the feeling of a rainy Paris, while passing thu the streets and the place I’ve leaved there, mixing memories and nostalgia. (note : the song is at the bottom of this page)

Paris

Sur les pavés luisants, les ombres des amants

Qui s’agittent

Comme un flocon d’argent, je conduis au volant

D’une vie qui s’effrite

Bastille se réveille Paris, Paris sommeille.

Je marche dans les flaques, les gens sont comme des sacs

Des Silhouettes

La lumière s’allume, une ombre là-haut fûme

Une cigarette

Cet homme qui quémande, Paris, Paris me hante.

Au cours de ces années, j’ai appris à me consoler

Porte Dorée

On s’est souvent réunit, sur la place d’Italie

Pour un ciné.

Et même si le temps à passé, Paris reste tatouée.

On s’était rencontré, a la terrasse d’un café

Sur les champs Elysée.

On avait partagé, un amour étranger

Rue Hillairet

Comme le bris d’une glace, Paris, Paris m’enlace.

En dessous des néons, Place de la Nation

J’ai fais le lien

Entre mes émotions ma vie et mon destin

Rue Saint Germain

Pour mon dernier métro, se sera Paris, Pont Mirrabeau.

Listen the music here: Paris

Started in 1999 and finished in 2007 this album is made of piano solo and piano and orchestra piece. Most of the songs are both in solo and orchestra version. I wanted to made an album where the technology is not used to make weird sounds but rather to created beautiful music. So everything is done with computers as usual, but no weird fx, no fancy echoes and reverbs. Just a natural and pure sound inspired by the classical music. However the smart musicians will notice that the piano and orchestra is arranged as a rock band, with a bass, pads, rhythm… all is played with the piano, that’s why it is almost impossible to play most of these songs with anything else than a computer. The best of the modern and old times…

Medley Impossible Piano

Heidelberg Orchestral - 5:45

First song made for Impossible Piano back in 1999. Great mix of all instruments and the piece I really love the most in this album. It is made with 3 different themes that plug together. There is a mix of uplifting and nostalgia that stick after the music ends. It was made first for piano and orchestra and I lost the original master. I re-created it in 2004 to finalize this album.

For Diana Orchestral - 3:47

This song has been created the night when I knew that she died in a car accident. It was first made for the album Dreamscape in general midi but now re-created for orchestra and piano. The next day, my ex-wife and I went to the hospital do leave some flowers in her memory.

Wake Up N

ow (Piano Solo) - 5:45

Made shortly after Heidelberg this song was also the reason I wanted to do this piano and orchestra album. It has a similar structure as Heidelberg, with several themes plugged together.

Aliens Orbital Orchestral - 2:54

What a strange name! This song was created for Aliens CBA (check Alien CBA album to listen the first version made for General Midi sound cards. I’ve re-arranged it for this album to be played with piano and orchestra.

Vero Orchestral - 11:53

Description : Created in one night for Veronique Lesciellour my girlfriend in 1992. She is the only one to have an original version, I gave her as a gift (how romantic I was). She dumped me 6 months after. The original version was longer and had 2 songs included for more than 20 min of today improvisation. This version has been simplified and re-orchestrated.

Rain Fall Orchestral - 3:04

This song has been first created for Helena and called ‘Rigolade’ (laughter). I arranged it differently for this album, I like the theme and the melody. The Helena version is very cool and uplifting!

Adagio Nuptial Orchestral - 4:09

This song has been created for my weeding in 1994. I did several versions. I lost the original that was played in the church. It was a very emotional moment. This song is made to be used on these kind of occasions, and there are not a lot of choice for that. If you use it for your weeding, please let me know. This song is also a very sad memory about Pascal de France a good friend who died in the most weird and tragic way, alone in his huge castle, with a gas m

ask on the face. One of the most intelligent person I’ve ever met. He loved this song. Nadrys was made for him too…

Heidelberg (Piano Solo) - 5:44

First song made for Impossible Piano back in 1999. Great mix of all instruments and the piece I really love the most in this album. It is made with 3 different themes that plug together. There is a mix of uplifting and nostalgia that stick after the music ends. It was made first for piano and orchestra and I lost the original master. I re-created it in 2004 to finalize this album. This song is – with \’Wake up Now\’ the justification of the album\’s title. Try to play it with a piano and 2 hands only

Rain Fall (Piano Solo) - 3:04

This song has been first created for Helena and called ‘Rigolade’ (laugh). I arranged it differently for this album, I like the theme and the melody. The Helena version is very cool and uplifting!

]]> I’ve started this album based on the idea of having voices generated by computers (voiceless). I’m always looking for singers, but al always find big headed psychopaths and at the end I have to generate the voices with computers… at least they do not ask questions.

I’l released a song for Obama named : “Save the world” that had a good success on iTune…

Here is the infamous song …  Save the World
