I play in some room of the house (the kitchen being my favourite I guess). I've played live a few times but I'm deeply shy and extremely subject to stage fright. So, in order to play for an audience, I've tried to train my cats to appreciate my music by playing next to them since their birth. Maybe I've been successful, but I'm not really sure.

Discovering - and listening to - Frank Zappa's music.

This one is amazing and maybe addictive. Thanks a lot.

Sounds like some stuff from Robert Wyatt.

Thanks for the guitar playing. Everyone is stuck with patterns. I think that the key is maybe to try to play a melody while sustaining a steady bass. Slow down as much as possible until you find your own way to play with the chord position. Sometimes it's not the right hand pattern that's a problem, but the way that pattern relates to the chord changes. I mean you might have to change chords just before the end or your finger pattern in order to avoid the mechanical feeling. The problem often is... [more]

I think your playing, your sound, your harmonies bear some resemblance with some Nick Drake's pieces. His arpeggios and strumming were both real simple and effective. Check it out. Btw, I've just listened to your piece once again. It's really nice. Thank you.

More details. A thread about time signatures. The guitar of John Martyn. Inspirational.

Thanks, all these guitar tracks are real nice.

thank you, it's really a nice moment. Trust your voice, I think it would be nice without the echo.

this one, randy, is a cooool one. Thank you.

Great. I wanted to write some sort of commentary, but I'll do it some other time.

This tune always leave me with a feeling of nostalgia for the characters and plot of an imaginary movie. Thanks.

This is definitely a disaster's. But a well recorded one, and, as micayetoca said, it really conveys something. I feel somehow that the delay behind your voice is afflicting the overall rhythm in a strange way.

this one comes with a free smile, thanks !

Hey, funny, you had such a fine French then...(kidding) - real nice patchwork. Wonderful guitar and sound. Thank you.

Thanks, I had run out of Tom Waits' ballads. Great song.

It deserves to be played as loud as possible. I'm sure my neighbours will dance. Thanks

Real nice, thanks.

I second everything that's been said previously. Especially the part about "effortless grace and lightness". I know what I'm talking about (misty bit from 6' to 8'). Thanks for your version.
posted to MeFi Music by nicolin at 12:07 PM on January 14, 2008

Hey, I wish I could sing like that. At least, the song has the potential to please some listeners. Thanks.

That's what it's supposed to be about. Thanks for sharing.

It's not exactly creepy, but I wouldn't recommend listening to it if you've invited your date to share a good dinner at your place for the first time (hmmm.. doesn't sound right).

It could become an anthem for some sect. It's sooo relaxingly hypnotic.

Reminds me of some stuff Zappa did on the >Synclavier.

What a fountainhead... music as nicely woven as always...

I'm periodically going back to your duo page on myspace (-skist-). (I'm going to get a record from CD baby...Santa Claus is going to !)

Real nice. I dig the surrealistic flavour of the French lyrics. Thanks.
posted to MeFi Music by nicolin at 2:50 AM on December 8, 2007

hi,
well, as usual, I didn't want it to be too polished, I think that keeping it as close as possible from the spontaneous original musical ideas is keeping it simple and alive, as you said. The flute is actually a blessing one I ordered from ebay, and is about the fifth flute I've been ordering. I think I'm going to buy a brand new one, since each flute I've been buying has some sort of flaw, this one is out of tune from the high C onwards, and the lower C, C# and D are unreachable....

isn't it spooky enough ? Happy Halloween anyway.

I think that the second part is the scary one, but you have to listen to it with sufficient volume to grasp what's going on.
