1-Bacchus
This was supposed to be the music of an advertising but it didn't work so I continued my fancy adding Champagne stoppers for the rhythm
​
Quatuor de Lyon
​
​
2- A la barbe d’Antoine
The only time I studied classical music it was
in Villeurbanne with composer Antoine DUHAMEL
who scored a lot for film music. He was a delightful man and on occasion I composed a few pieces under his very nose
Quatuor de Nice
3-Daisy danse
I have declined in quatuor the theme of "Daisy danse", a song you can find on my album « A fleur de peau »
Quatuor Akitania
​
4-Hobo
Written from a melodic sample of a Woody Guthrie's song.
Hobos used to take freight trains traveling secretly
through America in the 30ties, at the risk of their life
Quatuor Akitania
5-Guinevire
Cover of the song on the LP « A fleur de peau »
with a string arrangement
Quatuor de Nice
​
​
6-Sida song
A the beginning it was a song that turned out to be a quatuor
Quatuor Akitania
​
7-Rose pourpre
This piece came from an exercice of writing music based on the Woody Allen movie "The purple rose of Caïro"
Quatuor de Nice
8-Le quatuor de la linotte
This tune came as I was playing with kids in a library dedicated to them
Quatuor Akitania
​
9-La Dame de Lyon
Another declination of this song from my album TRACE S
Quatuor de Nice
​
​
10-Tango pour une chaise
At first this music was written for a dance show and finally found
its way in this album
Quatuor Akitania
​
11-Oui tu m’auras aimé
Another song from « A fleur de peau » rewritten for string quartet
I developed an idea created by musician arranger Genny DETTO
Quatuor de Nice
​
12-Se canto
The occitan hymn. It says that "the lover would like the mountains could subside so that he can see her beloved"
Quite different from "May impure blood soak our fields furrows"
(La Marseillaise)
Quatuor Akitania
13-Tire bouchon
A different exposition of this theme.
Both recordings were made in Lyon in the 90 ties with an improvised quartet
Quatuor de Lyon
