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.

Peace and quiet - Improvisation with tc electronic Flashback Delay
Hi there,
Here's an informal tune I wrote on the fly with the tc electronic Flashback Delay.
This is the TAPE mode, an emulation of the old-style tape delays. Combined with the Lovepedal Babyface Tremolo, it creates a vintage atmosphere where the sounds swells nicely back and forth like waves or unpredictable patterns.
Enjoy it
