Before a concert, we get prepared, we connect cables, lots of cables, we tune the instruments, we rehearse a little, to be sure that the body will remember everything in the evening, despite the stage fright. We play down the drama, we tell ourselves that everything is going to be fine, even if the closer the fateful hour approaches, the more we wonder why we got ourselves into this mess again.
Jade Goetzinger captured a few moments before, during and after this concert at La Cigale which I will remember for a long time.
My friend and director Nabil Senhaji called me one day to ask me to work on my piece Mycelium. He had years of footage of his daughter in his archives, and wanted to try to edit them to this music. I immediately liked the idea. Here is an overview of the result of his work, a summary of 12 years of fragments of everyday life.
Drop the bass is a 8 minutes song that I like to play live with Louxor. It's a simple concept of loops recorded in real time, and we play on top on them Here's a little summary of what's happening during these 8 minutes :
Loop 1 : piano chords Loop 2 : trumpet theme Loop 3 : 2nd voice Loop 4 : 3rd voice Trumpet theme Drop the bass Loop 5 : piano riff Loop 6 : riff n°2 Loop 7 : riff n°3 Put everything together and improvise
Here is a version of Eigengrau, the first track from Durango, my album released today. I'm very happy to finally be able to share it with you, I hope you like this music. The album is available everywhere: ffm.to/durango
Thanks to Louxor for his sound creations and the passion he puts into everything he does at every moment, to Romain Clisson for the mixing as well as his precious listening, to Antoine Carlier for all the graphic creation and the cover of the album. Of course thanks also to Joseph Petitpain who helps me day and night to make all this possible and to Nicolas Bozino and Sacha Bozino for this video. I am accompanied by a dream team.
Durango is the name of the studio where I have worked for several years. It is located a few hundred meters from my home, in Pré St-Gervais, a tiny town in the north of Paris. I go there like some people go to the office, I have my own little habits, musician friends who each have their own studios, each their own universe. We sometimes discuss our ways of working, we talk about everything and nothing - often about football it's true, we lend each other equipment or instruments.
It's a place that has hosted my recent musical projects: The music for the film by François Uzan, another for the documentary by Michaël Sztanke and Gaël Faye, the albums of Ben Mazué, Gaël Faye and Grand Corps Malade. And in my time free, I sit down at the piano and I search, it's my favorite blank page. Now I can't wait to meet you in concert!
A huge thank you to the entire team for this crazy project directed by James F. Coton.

"Le pouvoir de l'oubli" This title came to me because I wanted to make a discreet tribute to one of my favorite films "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", by Michel Gondry. I didn't talk to Nabil Senhaji about it because I wanted him to bring his vision, and I'm very happy to share it with you today.
Thanks as always to Louxor for his work on the piece, all in subtle textures, to Romain Clisson at Durango Studio for the mixing.
I will be in concert on January 25 at La Cigale, in Paris. And in the meantime, a few concerts this summer, and the album which arrives in September. See you soon !
