Pedalboard

All right, everything's in place now.
Strymon Timeline : very powerful delay unit, featuring all sorts of classic or more experimental delays.
EHX Small Clone : the classic chorus unit, this one being a second-hand pedal from the mid-eighties.
EXH Stereo Electric Mistress : flanger/chorus, which makes for a very liquid, moving sound.
Subdecay Quasar : a most interesting phaser pedal, with several waveforms to create a choppy, filter-like effect.
MXR M68 Uni-vibe : gorgeous vibrato, with a round, deep sound.
EHX Nano Big Muff : the miniature version of the classic Big Muff fuzz pedal. It's big, it's hot.
EHX Pog2 : complex octaver pedal.

Live Setup

Working on the live set.
I'm using the DSI Tempest for beats and some melodies, and sending additional melodies through MIDI from the Tempest to the Novation Bass Station II.
It's a great analogue combo.

Boundless River (Live)

Inspired by Erik Satie's "Gymnopédie n°1", "Gnossiennes" and Philip Glass's "Dead Things".

Hungry Ghosts (Rehearsal)

More rehearsal work on the revamped set.
As usual, loops are provided by the DSI Tempest, and I'm using the Bass Station II for additional synth lines (sequenced on the Tempest).

Backup Monkeys (Rehearsal)

Rehearsal time... working on a new arrangement for song "Backup Monkeys" (upcoming "Clockwork Cities" album).
I'm using the DSI Tempest for drums and sequences, taking advantage of the dirty, crunchy, built-in distorsion. Some Bass Station II melodies on the chorus, triggered by the Tempest.

Passions Amplifiées - Folle Journée 2015

Our series of concerts during the classical festival Folle Journée in Nantes is over...
It's been quite a ride... 6 performances of "Boundless River", a song created out of Erik Satie's "Gymnopédie n°1", "Gnossiennes n°1" and Philip Glass's "Dead Things", with lyrics from Emily Dickinson's poems. Good crowd, especially the Cité des Congrès concert at the Hegel hall, which attracted 700 people.

Gear-wise, I've been using a pedalboard with EHX Electric Mistress, Big Muff Pi and Strymon Timeline, my DSI Tempest for drums and sequences, and a Novation Bass Station II.
