On the front: "(fr) agile"

The double collection of partitions which includes songs from "Without waiting" and "(fr) agile" is out! We were working on for several months with a small team of enthusiasts: Moulou Patrick, who built with us, Patrice Jania (statements guitar) and Michel Leclerc (piano records). Its subtitle ("The secrets of guitar Yves") suggests a very personal piece of art, which sometimes creates the sound, and explains the empirical method, craft, instinctively, that guided me in the inspiration and writing ... Two books in one, head to tail, which we added seven older titles for fans who want to update to "Take a child," The language of home, "" To the world's children integer "," Your absence, "" The prison wall opposite, "" At Parc Monceau "or" Melancholy "... The songs" guitar "tabs are the pieces" piano "is partitions. 30 titles, and great care given to the correctness of notes, with a "plus" that must be a common desire to make a beautiful work: a beautiful collection of unpublished personal photographs.

Here is the opening text of the collection ...

On the back: "Without waiting"

Historically, I studied piano and guitar as an amateur ("one who loves" means ...). Read music is to me a superhuman effort, but accessible. I learned music theory music before, like a child can talk before writing. It gave me a number of bad habits, fingering bizarre, arrangements amicably ... It's called "my little secrets of guitar." So by definition, it's still us, do not tell anyone, especially your teacher. I get off my E string in D major, I use a capo, I'm choking the strings at the bridge (which pegs are made ​​of brass, a "trick" of Didier Dubosq - luthier - that optimizes the highs). My guitar is a Guild D model 26-E/NT Folk Series (1997). The system that makes electro-acoustic is a Fishman "Ellipse Blend" control panel whose wife rounding of the rose and makes it invisible. It has a dual input, sensor and microphone, but after trying many mixtures with Michel Colin, our "ingenious" sound, it is the sensor that has won the game by simply adding a touch of bass and treble to the console. We wanted to Patrice Jania (statements guitar) and Michel Leclerc (statements piano) combine faithfully what we hear on the album with a quick readability of the score or tablature. Moulou with Patrick, who made ​​this collection with respect and passion, we enlarged the drawings and costings agreements, preferred an airy layout.

The piano was my first instrument, ("The prison wall opposite") and I reconnected with him a new story, with "Learning" (not even hard!) And "So that you do not die" (line peak, while the black keys ...). And above all, with "She does not sleep," "Fragile" and "Where do you Pauline? ", Where even in C, it evolves into arpeggios and harmonics.

After these opening lines, I leave you with the songs, or rather not, I go with you. Go ahead, please. It's your turn ...

Yesterday Saturday, France 2 had invited me to participate in "Special Envoy, The Sequel", where Guilaine Chenu, and Agnes Vahramian team of "Special Envoy" revisit a story from a few years, to see what happened to the actions and provide an update today with the same people ... the Philippines Laurence had created a shelter for sexually abused girls. It gives them hope for a future, the desire to live and the opportunity to break this vicious circle through a vocation, a profession, a passion ... A deeply moving story, they asked me to comment , mirroring our action in Pondicherry, India, where the school AFTER SCHOOL completes its first quarter ...

Sunset on the way to the airport Pierre-Elliott Trudeau ...

I left Montreal for France, after a week of meetings with the media for the tour next April-May throughout Quebec and beyond ... Although many years have passed since our last shows, (2004) I found intact affection and respect that I have left the imprint of an unbreakable friendship. I can not wait to return for concerts. The prelude was delicious ... See you soon!

I'm still in my head, in my guitar chords in your laughter, your emotions, which came to drop off the sun to the edge of the stage, in the silence that followed some of the songs ... These three magical nights, we keep the time as a reference, it was both the culmination of a long process and the beginning of another adventure, which will carry us further, beyond borders, but also at more closely, Province, on tour. I thought, on the advice of Noelle, "enjoy it" ... It was increasingly true over the evenings. Singing in Paris is a powerful symbol, a special moment. Here, in this legendary theater , we had the ambition (pretend?) to offer the public this "update" the software that had endeared him my first songs. I knew, from having lived with "(fr) agile" for several months, that this concert would be different, much more successful than Dejazet, where we had created the first version. With Nery (who served as director), Julien Bony (the lights) Gilles Bioteau (bass) and Angelo Zurzolo (Piano), we continued to refine the fluidity of the show, the music to work in precision and complicities, as a prelude to this return to Paris. A growing pleasure accompanied us throughout the tour, and he is the one we wanted to share. Your comments on the blog to leave the stage we have much affected. The journey continues, but before leaving to other scenes, I wanted to thank you all who contribute to our adventure, with your help, your support, your friendship. Every look was counted twice, each word is etched in the breath that I take before each concert, behind the scenes, open heart, between the tractor and soaring ...
