YD1_1756 red Dear friends,

Here, the twelve songs on the album were completed ... They are, finally, and I'll be able to tame, guitar and piano, and continue to sing, improve detail, change the melody a bit, redrafting , edit the raw material still to polish the curved, thin words, raise the requirement to possess them completely ... And probably still find the most beautiful tracks for accompaniment at the last moment, the studio ... Because there is still to assemble the right team, define the musical direction, the registration book ...
I enjoy this in-between, where everything is, but everything remains to be done yet. I plunged forward in this exciting work of setting the best songs and to relieve the slag of writing, testing formulas of arpeggios that provide "more" to imagine the scale in the orchestral solo guitar , the piano, finding the right tempo, adjust the tone, to share these drafts already very accomplished musicians with friends who sometimes suggest other approaches. Jean-Pierre Marcellesi composed the music for an album. The only one I have not done. On another song, he suggested a change in style so beneficial that I immediately embarked ... and he was right. The song won suddenly in effectiveness, emotion. I can not tell you much more about these songs, if I work hard and I love them already. We are very caring about this project that has built in a burst of creation as I have never lived up early, up late, got down to work without being able to detach myself, addicted to the texts, then to music, as I still am now at the realization. The subjects are surprising, grave or light, sometimes unexpected, that's a look at our time on the past, a reflection on the ephemeral and its pernicious effects, but also on the essentials, with songs of love and songs of humor, new ideas. Musically, I found myself fully. I think this will be an album "very Duteil" ... in 3D. I could talk for hours ... Well I sing returns. Silence, on records (models for the moment) ...

And very quickly!

Hello everyone, here is some news, after this long silence, resonant writing and music ... To date, twelve pieces of the album is completed, and eight of them already have their music. The songs are still at the models, guitar or piano and voice, and I continue to call day and night, the four remaining texts. Writing an album is always an unexpected adventure, and it is "already" different.

Enter this world has been long and difficult. But confidence, gradually returned and with it a new desire to write, a desire for increased accuracy that made me work for example on one of the most important texts (to me), for all summer, to find the right word, the true picture, even the smallest item ... But nothing strenuous, just fun ... Find my daily paper with a verse again, back to my office with three more words true, and now that all texts are there, then find a melody, the surprising agreement that I missed yesterday, the construction seems suddenly obvious ... Today I may interrupt you to write, because I know that the end of this path of writing is not very far. I breathe, I feel good ... When I say "my office" is a bit abstract, of course ... So I want to share with you the view it offers me to the sea here .

From this refuge, away from stress and buzz, but closer to the bulk, the world appears in its complexity, uncertainty, and sometimes the storms, as through news alarming that we all share and which we achieved so far. With Noelle, as we dive in the center of this tumult, trying to channel it through citizen action, or half a world away in India at a school of second chance, as in many other solidarity actions. In this troubled context, where many landmarks escape us, sometimes we need to find our brands. Between the pen and the action, I chose both. Look at the world realistically, and oppose a breakthrough of hope, resistance to violence that invites daily in the news. On this tightrope over for us all in Tipping, between the crisis, the campaign, news items tragic or terrifying, an unprecedented international situation, the dangers threatening the future of peoples seeking freedom from dictators who cling to power, beauty suddenly speaks to the heart, with its language of emotion, and opens us to the reality without which no dream is possible. A dream of peace, sharing, respect and harmony. A necessary utopia. Beauty is not a luxury or a lure. It is in our genes, and we pass from generation to generation, through art and creation. This is probably the flame that drives me, when I seek the right word. This album is a reflection in the making of it. A show of contrasts, of tenderness, humor and hope, amidst the tears of the world nor his suffering.

We will now make the journey together, until the album's release in the fall (probably October). I will give you more news soon, for you to enjoy after the adventure, and offer you this bunch of songs at the end ... or rather early.

See you soon! ...

Dear Friends

After Hurricane Thanes who passed through the region and causing extensive damage to school, our partners, many godfathers / godmothers and donors have been particularly responsive. Emergency aid received very quickly helped to address priorities for buildings, equipment, and school supplies basic necessities. YD1_0280 Companies have also mobilized. Thanks to you all, the repairs are nearly completed, and the school is operational again for all children. YD1_0248 We face now a psychological consequence of this unexpected event: the terror experienced by the children was sent to parents, coupled with unfounded rumors of new cyclone, and even earthquakes. Narikuruvars some families are afraid and are not yet ready to send their children to school. Only some of the children came back about a third, and we are in contact with the families to explain that the school can get their children safely.

The festival was more exciting than ever. Raise the national colors, children's show, traditional dances and songs were framed words gushed forth from the heart experiences and testimonies, impregnated shared in these hours of anguish, happy and solidarity which helped to erase the traces within the school. It now remains for us to dispel the shadow of the storm, still present in families, and each case is considered individually. YD1_0762

We will take stock during February and we will keep you informed of course developments.

Since this summer in Corsica, the writing has installed morning habits, and I kept the pace of work in return for continuing to fill the pages of my books for the upcoming album.

My office opens on a small piece of the Mediterranean where the sun deposits treasures of light. Sometimes when the horizon disappears into the mist clears and the boundary between sky and sea, an island seems to float in the air like a cloud of stone ... One morning at daybreak, the sky offered this show, that I invite you to share ... ETE_7330[1]
