Rockers

Not so long ago someone posted a video about a baby moaning in the back of a car , nothing was to be done , neither mum or dad could make those tears go away ! In a desperate attempt to calm down the child , parents decided to swich the radio on , hoping it somehow might improve the situation but infortunatly didn't ! It was only untill the radio played an old bob marley reggea tune that suddently out of nowhere the kido was no longer crying but bouncing is head in rythme with music
, smilling and loughting out loud !!!
It stuned me how reggea music always bind us all together by awaken a feeling of simplicity , love and happines deep in are tired hearts !
"Rockers" is actualy much moore of a documentary than a simple movie as it was auto produced by famous Jamaïcan label "Channel one"(Jacob Miller,Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs...) and all artist are parts in it .1H30 of pure classic trench town rock music , inglish rasta slang with memorable retort and a real check out of what really was the life style like back there !

When Salvador Dali meets Walt Disney ! "Destino"

This is a such a masterpiece of art ! I discovered it thruw a french director who was actualy breifing me on what the music should be like for is next video , when further in the discussion he comes to speak about this video . So as we where on the set where is video was being to shot later that day , he showed me what he had in mind...
This video has actually a long and beautifull story . I'll to make it quick tho.
"Destino" was originally storyboarded beetwen 1945 and 1946 by John Hench and Salvador Dali , however financial concerns caused Disney to cease production (World War II)...
And it's only about 50 years latter that Walt Disney's nephew "Roy Edward" , decided to bring the project back to life. "Disney Studios France", the company's small Parisian production department, was brought on board to complete the project.
Enjoi.....

in the movie business as they produced the soundtrack for Disney's next master production "Tron Legacy" , who will be released

Pierre Henry's a domicile !

Le compositeur invite le public chez lui, à Paris, pour 24 concerts.

Accoudé à la grande table de sa cuisine, Pierre Henry peaufine les derniers réglages sonores. C'est l'après-midi. La rue de Toul est silencieuse et la bâtisse, remplie de musique. Depuis 1971, le compositeur, âgé de 82 ans, visage rond et épaisse barbe blanche, habite, dans le XIIe arrondissement de Paris, une étrange maison de poupée. «C'est ici que j'ai construit mon univers», dit à voix basse celui qui, avec Pierre Schaeffer, au tournant des années 1950, fut le père-fondateur de la musique concrète.

Elles résonnent, les cloches de Psy ché Rock, morceau tiré de la Messe pour le temps présent commandée par Maurice Béjart en 1967. Parmi les 120 grands opus que Pierre Henry a composés, quinze ont servi de musique pour les ballets du chorégraphe. Ses compositions sont des patchworks raisonnés et poétiques. Sans instrument, ni partition ou interprète, la musique concrète est fondée sur l'organisation, le classement, la transformation volontaire et l'«accouplement des sons» préexistants.

Allez c cadeau !

The Chemical Brothers & Michel Gondry

The Chemical Brothers just released a seventh studio album "further" in which it seems they've decided to produce a clip for each track.The production is once moore draw drooping , the mastery of analogique keyboards could hardly be questioned.
The "Another world" video was produced by Adam Smith & Marcus Lyall !


But i must admit i'm still very nostalgic of Michel Gondry's colaboration for Air France's Ad "Asleep from day".

Eric Serra for Luc Besson's "Leon"

Still gives me goosebumps...Eric Serra is by far one of my favorite produceurs...By the way don't pay attention to the stupid edit ;)

Amom Tobin and the music of "Infamous"

Trent Reznor For David Fisher's "Social network"

And of course on the other hand David Fisher wich i will not introduce to you guys . But for thoses who might have a little noledge gap , David fisher is the guy who Directed "Alien 3"
, Eleven....

The Origine of sampling

This is the Emu II , by far one of the coolest keyboard ever . In fact it's the continuity of the Emu I , the first analog sampler from early eighties. It's an 8-bit sampling rate wich gives that old warm past .They are worth nothing these days but they are hard to find and very fragile. But if you manage to get one of theese , this is how it would sound like :

Hello Spring

Hi everyone , what an amazing weather(Paris) , this winter has been very painfull for all of us , i know , but everything's gonna be ok now , i promise !!! And to get are selfs propely into spring vibe , i give you one of my faverite 2010 discovery.
As once every month i was searching for interesting records rue faiderbe in paris. As i was checking out some "michel Legrand" records when the guy from the shop played this awsome music wich instantaneously submerge me with a feeling of peace and freedom... The track was from this guy out of the early 70's , a certain Lou Bond. Researching Lou Bond's story is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle without any idea of the image you're trying to create. Lou is like a thunderstorrm after a long drought...He is refrenshingly necessery. it is for people who are tired of the mundaneness of the sounds of our current music market.
Just listen and don't worry , it's all gonna be ok...
