Track 3. Ensemble - premier mouvement
Together - first part

Je l’ai embrassé, et j’ai compris que ma vie ne serait plus jamais la même.

The story continues… Elise and Pierre meet again, and a passionate affair follows. Genuine love seems to be there for weeks. However, they soon face doubts and challenges.

Before creating the track, there were three initial ideas: composing a recurring theme like in movie soundtracks, crafting an uptempo track that gradually accelerates, and ending abruptly to symbolize the conclusion of the beginning of their love story.

The different layers of this track were recorded using a Moog Matriarch, a Moog DFAM, and a Prophet Rev2. The theme was saved as a sequence in the Moog Matriarch and later reused in the soundtrack.

You asked for this : a Moog Matriarch doing weird sounds on “La Rencontre”

Track 2. La rencontre - “Il s’est passé quelque chose d’étrange”
The Encounter – "Something Strange Happened."

In a coffee shop, much like any passionate love story, Elise and Pierre's gazes meet. Something happens. They don’t really meet or speak at first, but clearly, something forms between them, lingering in their thoughts over the next few days. They will randomly meet again, and everything will turn upside down.

The idea behind the track was to have two instruments playing off each other in both a furtive and explosive way, creating a sense of tension. In fact, there are three instruments, with a deep bass coming in halfway to provide a foundation. All three were played on a Moog Matriarch, which made all the magic possible!

Track 1. Prologue - “Tout était en ordre.”

As many books or movies begin, the first piece/track sets the stage by placing the characters in their roles. Pierre is in a long-term relationship, has three kids, and lives a happy life. Elise, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to be happy. She’s living “like a phantom.”

The musical concept here is to represent stability through a recurring pattern played on a Moog Matriarch, with strings subtly fading in to evoke a sense of happiness. As for Elise, well… there’s nothing, just as she describes her life.

Hi all,
Here is some insights about the album “Echanges Involontaires”, released in 2022

It all started with a discussion with about a project she was working on. The initial idea was to create music for a theatrical adaptation of a piece she had written. For various reasons, it evolved into the concept of using the text as an audiobook (still to be released), with the music serving as its soundtrack. *Échanges Involontaires* tells the story of Elise and Pierre, who meet, fall in love, and navigate a whirlwind of emotions until an abrupt ending.

I believe the 10 tracks of this album are the perfect companions to the reading!

Still tracking…with old weird things.
I think that’s the best we can do with this one.
Let’s put some autotune on it 😂
