The Lost Motel (Work in Progress)

Tempest for the beats and some synth sounds. The rest is Prophet 08.

Dave Smith Instruments through and through.

I'll add vocals.

Lovely

Bowie du Jour : I'm Deranged

This has been hanging around for some time.
Favorite song from the "Outside" album.

"Cold Sweat" on TV

Thomas Lesourd's film "Cold Sweat", based on my music, has been broadcast part of some French arty TV show on TéléNantes. Nice! At 33.15 of the program.

I Love the Lennon Sisters

I wanted to post this for Christmas and forgot.

New Short Film Coming Up (and it's Horrible)

My song "Heart of Darkness", from the "Broken Sails" EP will be featured on Thomas Lesourd's new movie, "Horrible Boy", a great, weird little work that should be online in March. Stay tuned for more info.

Quick Tempest

Quick video for the upcoming NAMM show. We (the proud DSI Tempest owners) were asked to produce a short (30-60 sec) demo showing the performance capabilities of this great analog drum machine. There you go.

Papa's Got a Brand New Mic (Again)

Last time was a Bluebird and it's a great vocal mic, but this deal was just too sweet to pass on. A second-hand Neumann TLM103 for 439€.

First tests show a fuller, warmer sound, I'll post a comparative soundclip tomorrow.

Youtube Update : Last Night I Was a Ghost

Some of you have trouble with the Dailymotion streaming, so here's the Youtube upload as well. Today, back to work on finalizing the mix.

I'm planning to release this on the "Crack-Up" album.
The new DSI Tempest is drumming all along and boy does it sound great.
Otherwise, the usual suspects : plenty of Moog and Prophet 08, as well as some acoustic guitar.

Microkorg Patches (Not Mine, This Time)

Remember my 70's string machine Microkorg? Well, here's an external link to some very cool vintage-sounding Microkorg : http://snakecult.tiredmachine.com/1025-custom-microkorg-patch-library
If you own a Microkorg, or plan to buy one, and dig retro-analog-vintage-oldie sounds, you should definitely check these out

Happy New Year, People
