OK, here comes the last one - so far.

​

2009 has been a peculiar year for me. My best colleagues ever - who were also some of my best friends - all flew away for new adventures (one changing job, one going in Australia for a year, one leaving to live in another part of the country). My father died during summer. And I met the woman of my life, which is still today and the mother of my kids.

​

Huge upheavals.

​

In a way, Interface is a testimony. I wrote and recorded it fast, in fourth months, before my friends went away for their new lives.

I knew I had to finish it before the end of June (for some reasons I won't explain here). So I clarified my mind and decided to make things easy by chosing the piano almost as one and only instrument for the album.

Not in the way I did with 4 août 2002, avenue Daumesnil. No improvisations. Elaborated tracks. Using drums for some of them, and arrangements requiring other sounds. Rigor allowing freedom.

​

So is Interface. Rigorous and free. Full of joy, bright up to naivety, technical sometimes, relaxed other times. I find it charming and I'm proud of it. This is absolutely listenable, I guess, remembering it is as non-professional as the whole lot. Simple music, from the heart. A personal need that I wanted to share anyway.

Anything may happen in our connected world, right ?
