I made that in 2002. I was young and fool. I had friendts whowere even younger and fooler than me, and who wanted to make movies.

For the "Festival des cinémas d'Asie", some of them had to make a trailer. I had to deal with the sound

The result was a 30 seconds film. People told me that the sound, in a big theater, was awsome. I don't know, I was hidden between the chairs, trying to block any sound...

I'm kind of shy, and lack some conficence...

But that was a good experience. I've learn that you can make good lava sound with boiling rice, and that it's difficult to find a tune with only six notes of a sort of Japenese harp.

And also that I should keep some better sound files of my work, because I only have this crappy Mp3 left...

Update  : I found an older version of this, just so that you see the "creative process": Asiexpo 02.

See in the sound directory : tabla, lava, koto, earth and stone

I wanted to be Charles Chaplin : be the writer, the director and the music composer of short movies. Then, one day, I awoke...

The idea was to tell the story of a fairy and a nihilistic murderer on the run. I'm quite glad of the Prokoviev strings samples.

Sound directory : tinker bell, Prokoviev, broken glass

Stupid French boy singing to his American girlfriend

2002

96 kbps MP3

I dated an American girl. Well, actually, I married her and we had a baby together. And we are still together. So I guess I should call her "my wife", but at this time, we were simply "lovers" (we are still "lovers", but we are married, so we can't call each other "lover", although we could, but you now, conventions, what, am I becoming annoying ?)...

She wrote something for me to sing (yes, I should stop singing, I know, now would you just shut up for a minute ?), and I should say that I sang in english without understanding what I was singing (did I tell you that I was French ? By the way, if you are Richard Perle, I've got a finger for you...). I should say that, the joke would be better. But, actually, I wrote in french what I was supposed to say in english, and she wrote the song. I want to be clear on this, so that you don't think that I'm that stupid. Well, she made a copy of what I wrote and sent it to her lawyer when we married, so maybe I am...

Tolerance warning : 

I play detuned guitar, I have a detuned voice, and I worked only two days on this. Ok, three. Yeah, right, a week, but I shared the computer with a video artist, a comedian, and an American far from her family.

The friend who played saxophone and did the back voice had begun saxophone classes one month ago. And didn't have a teacher to teach him saxophone. Somebody had given him an old saxophone, and he practiced in his room "Killing me softly with this song". I can't stand this song anymore...

It's a little long. But you should listen it to the end. I'm making "zee french accent". It's funny, you'll laugh, well, maybe just smile, I'm telling you...
