Plat de résistance
2025/10/03
New single and video
I am very pleased to present my brand new single and video. The song is called “L’ombre de leurs pas”. It’s about standing up. About refusing a world that’s becoming darker and more violent. About making the world a better place, for everybody, one action at a time.
Boycott Spotify
In the coming days, I will be removing my music from Spotify.
This decision was not made lightly, and it comes down to three important reasons:
1- The extremely low royalties paid to artists, which devalue our work and weaken independent creation.
2- The growing presence of AI-generated music, used as a way to further reduce the share that goes to human artists.
3- The investments of Spotify’s CEO and main shareholders in a military technology company. I refuse to let my music contribute, even indirectly, to supporting that industry.
I completely understand that many of you use Spotify out of habit or convenience, and I don’t judge that choice. Still, I’d like to encourage you to explore alternatives that better respect independent artists — including Bandcamp, where my music will remain available and where your support has a direct and meaningful impact.
Thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting my work. It truly makes all the difference.
Brand new video
Here’s my latest video. It’s for the song Your God is Black and Green, from the new EP called À l’ombre des cyprès. The EP will be available tomorrow, October 21st. Let’s share it.
À l’ombre des cyprès available soon
Wow! I don’t know for you, but for me 2022 is just crazy. I started the year with the idea of releasing a new EP by the end of the year. Now, here we are and I am really excited to present that new EP to you. It will be released on Octobre 21st. The first single, called “Sur mon corps pousseront des arbres” is already out, and the EP is already available for pre-order on my Bandcamp page.
With this EP, I also decided to do some videos. The first one is already available, and this coming Friday I’ll release a video for the second track of the EP, called “Your God is Black and Green”.
Another new thing is I finally decided to do some 18 Seconds t-shirts. They are already available on my Bandcamp page, and with the release of the EP there will also be a combo with a t-shirt and a digital download of the EP. All for 27$ CAD.
It’s a 5-songs EP. The cover was made by Nina Normand. The track listing is as follow:
- Sur mon corps pousseront des arbres
- Your God is Black and Green
- For Gene
- Je suis la poussière dans ton troisième oeil
- Jeux de mains, jeux demain
I can’t wait for you all to hear the EP. Connect with me on social medias and tell me what you think about it.
Take care

New video for Allostasie
I just released a video for my latest track Allostasie. Can you watch it on Youtube
If We’re Two We Might Not Be Alone
Well. It’s been a while since I updated my site. Sorry about that. It’s not that I wasn’t working on new projects, just that sometimes life gets in the way and things don’t unfold as fast as you’d like them to. But I am happy to share with you today the result of what I have been doing lately: a brand new EP. Exactly 5 years separate it’s from my previous album Crooked We Stand.
It’s a 3 songs EP, with each song around 7 minutes long. I’ve had the chance to have some people participate on some songs. First, my lovely wife is doing back vocals on the song Tanabata. I’m so happy to finally have a chance to have her in my musical project. And that should not end there, maybe there’s more to come. Stay tuned.
I also have my friend Sebastien Courtrmanche-Dussault play violin on that same track. Thank you buddy.
As with my previous releases, this new EP is now available as Name-Your-Price on my bandcamp site. It will also become available on pretty much all the major platforms in the following weeks.
Finally, thank you for being around and supporting my music. It means a lot to me.
Take care and stay safe
Pascal
