Option Knob

Hi there! 

I've just received from the US magic knobs that'll set my tone free!

No more hassle with parameters to change on the fly, no more trouble finding the right tone. Limitless possibilities are now coming to my feet.

This is exactly what I dig the most in gear, when constraints lead to creative opportunities.

Congrats Option Knob!

Goodbye Pod Pie Hat

Au revoir à la Ferme, au Haricot et au Singe,
merci pour vos bons et loyaux services,
grâce auxquels j'ai pu enregistrer mon album "Seven Seeds of Life".
Bon produit (carte son + plug-in sons modélisés) mais j'aime trop mon Marshall JVM410H.
La modélisation c'est pratique, mais pour le son d'un ampli rien ne vaut... un ampli.

Place à la Torpille et au Duo-multiplié-par-lui-même.
Très belle carte son Apogee Duet2, clarté, brillance, transparence. Ma Godin Multiac Duet Nylon branchée en direct et hop, c'est dans la boîte.
Plug-in Two-Notes Engineeering PI-101 Wall of Sound absolument incroyable dans la simulation de prise de son. Réaliste, ludique, intuitif.

Mon trio gagnant de début 2012:
Torpedo PI-101 WoS,
Apogee Duet2,
Ableton Live 8.

Une Valley Arts Custom Pro, 2 ou 3 réglages... un son ENORME au rendez-vous.

Plusieurs videos en cours de préparation.

Stay tuned!

CHRISTMAS WALK - video clip

Believe it or not, I composed the core of this song in 15 min on Christmas night in 2011.
That night I had a long and pleasant walk in Paris to clear my head and enjoy the lovely parisian Christmas atmosphere.

I went out for just a couple of hours, ...this turned out to be a 5-hour walk. The lights, the smooth and dry air, everything was just perfect.

Once in my home studio I came up with a simple and swaying groove that would express the meditative state I experimented in that walk. The keyboards melody just adds a little touch of melancholy.

The guitar solo is the longest I've ever recorded (so far...). I deliberately chose a Fender Telecaser on that tune for the rawness of its woods. When overdriven, its single coils deliver a screaming bitterness that is nicely balanced by the obsessive, low-end background rythms.

This composition is also the first time I've ever considered music and video so closely intertwined. Before I recorded the first note of the guitar solo I had in mind exactly how the video would look like in the end.

Hope you'll enjoy.
