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
Passing Overview is now available
Just wanted to let you know that Passing Overview, my collaboration with my friend and singer Bruno Sevigny, is now available for download on my Bandcamp page.
And will become available on all the major platforms including iTunes, Amazon and Spotify in the coming weeks.
Listen to a new song
Wow! It’s been a while since I wrote something here. Almost 4 years now since a released my latest album. Time flies…
But just because I haven’t posted here doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on some stuff. I’m really excited to present to you the result of a collaboration song I made with my friend and singer Bruno Sevigny. Bruno is an amazing singer and he sings for Kashmir, a tribute band to Led Zeppelin. The track is called Passing Overview. It’s quite different from what I usually do and it was a lot of fun to do. It brought me into new territories for me.
The song is not released yet, but it will be played for the first time ever on The End of the Week Show on Sheppey FM 92,2 on Sunday night, April 28th 2019, between 1PM and 5PM (Montreal time). You can listen online here www.sheppeyfm.org.uk. Then, on Sunday night, I will send everybody on my mailing list a private link to listen to the track. It will be officially launched on May 2nd on my Bandcamp page, and shortly after on all major sites like iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.
Here’s the illustration for the song. I created it with the help of my friend Nathalie Thomas.
I’m really excited to share that new music with you and I hope you’ll like it. And trust me, you won’t have to wait another 4 years to hear some more new music. I got a few tracks that are almost finished and that I’d like to release shortly. Stay tuned…
Gratitude
