I always made music to create new songs. I never did cover bands. I could not see well the interest of the original copy if it is not, showing his superb technical reproducing identical.
Reverse against, I tasted the pleasure of rearrangement with “Syracuse” on my first album “age can”. And for once I find this very interesting exercise but equally dangerous : Bring enough novelty on a title that already exists to leave a bit of yourself. I was able to renew the experience with ” The case” Raoul de Godswarvelde for album “has a hommach you eets vol 2”
Finding captivating experience, I always said that I will, one time or another, a cover album : of times in my sauce, with my arrangements and my singing. I thought of my favorite tracks of hip-hop, see the songs that touched me the most in my musical journey, and then I thought Nougaro, Car Nougaro, is Nougaro ! I like his songs, his writing, his career, his career. He was the man mixtures and this is what I like most about the song.
My idea was a long way until my friend LULU offers me to participate in a show in homage to Claude Nougaro. I wanted to make hard, he wanted to do on stage !
Let me tell you that I have not thought long and so here I am embarked on this new project where I have the pleasure to rearrange two dozen songs for this show. I leave aside the microphone and interpretation to devote myself entirely to music. And I have a job as arrangers were sacred Nougaro good musicians… The idea is to bring something new, modern, original by combining electronic sounds with jazz. If Claude was still among us, he would have surely. I am also very happy to participate in a common project and forget for a while the music alone.
The artistic team is comprised of LULU singing, Ludovic PROUD au piano (we can see in Valentine's day) and myself to machinery, synths, laptop and other hacks.
We soon begin rehearsals to prepare for 5 weeks of homes that will take place between September Calais 2009 and February 2010, including Conservatory of the urban community of Calais and Channel, national scene.
It was a job but the show promises to be the height.
so if you like Nougaro, if you like jazz, if you love electro, if you like the song, if you love music, Follow us and … Dance about us !!!
