First of all, I'd like to pay tribute to my old keyboard. I wrote most of my albums (10 on 22) with Yamaha PSR-510, which was probably not supposed to go technically so far.

​

The X-Files : Reflections is an interesting illustration of what I mean.

I started to work on it in 1996, between Cecilian and Amity, while I was discovering and enjoying so much the tv series, which changed so many things in the way to write and produce fictions on television.

​

In the same way, at the same time, I wanted to change my sound and experiment new musical paths. I started with Cecilian, but I intented to try something darker, more atmospheric.

Mark Snow's amazing work on X-Files has been of course a great source of inspiration. I'm still fascinated by his ability to express deep feelings and underground impressions and the strangest mysteries ever conceived by human imagination.

​

It was nothing but plain to achieve such a project with Yamaha PSR-510. Its sounds are various and rich but rather raw, and it's quite difficult to make them subtle, especially since the touch response of the keys doesn't work very well.

​

Anyway I kinda like it. The technical limits forced me to be creative and to write in very different ways than before, which is quite exciting.

More, it seems to me that it sounds as "X-Files" as I could approach it. Which looks like a deeply satisfying accomplishment.

​

The X-Files : Reflections is on my Replay Project list, even if I haven't written the first part on paper, and think rather hard to play it in a close way twenty years later... We'll see, as for the others !
