Je me Souviens

This album is the result of my exploration with a quadraphonic eurorack modular synthesizer, a complex and unpredictable instrument that allows me to create moody, ambient, and melancholic music. The foundation of this album is a Moog subharmonicon that I built during Moogfest as part of the engineer workshop. This device generates rich and organic rhythms and melodies that inspire me to express myself.

I am a 50+-year-old musician who loves to experiment with sound and music. I made this album as a birthday gift to myself and to my listeners. When I start a project, I find emotions that I want to express, and this is what guides me during the creation. On modular synthesizer, you don't know exactly where you are going, it is an adventure, but with the right frame of mind, the right emotion, it helps me discover the path I will take amongst all the modules and cables.

The title of the album is "Je me Souviens" - I remember, this is the last phrase that John Difool says at the end of his initiatic journey in "The Incal", a graphic novel made by Jodorowsky and Moebius.
