Les artefacts sont les murmures du temps qui se solidifient.
Objets nés de la main humaine, ils portent la mémoire des gestes,
des croyances et des savoirs oubliés.
Ils sont preuves, traces, erreurs parfois, éclats de cultures disparues ou miroirs de nos usages présents. Défauts techniques, reliques sacrées ou simples outils usés : chacun raconte une histoire, celle de l’homme cherchant à comprendre, créer, survivre et laisser une empreinte fragile dans le monde.

Aujourd’hui, après toutes ces années, je me tiens toujours derrière un micro avec autant de désir, de passion, d'émotion. Quelques syllabes, onomatopées venues du plus profond de ma fantaisie, donnent naissance à des chants étonnants, inouïs. Les harmonies se fondent,
se distendent, mon violoncelle et autres cordes frappées, frottées, cognées les rejoignent. Hors de toute école, tout se crée de manière improbable... Ne pensez surtout pas que je suis devenu machine...
Je les utilise bien sûr, je les programme, je les joue au même titre que mes autres instruments et jusqu'à présent, c'est moi le chef de la bande !

Ces Artefacts sont un autre témoignage de mon engagement artistique et existentiel, incarnation d’une musique contemporaine
aux couleurs « électro rock », parfois symphoniques, où pénombre et lumière ne font plus qu’un, abolissant les frontières du temps.

L’histoire continue de s’écrire.

Artefacts are the whispers of time solidified.
Objects created by human hands, they carry the memory of forgotten gestures, beliefs and knowledge. They are evidence, traces, sometimes mistakes, fragments of vanished cultures or mirrors of our present practices. Technical flaws, sacred relics or simple worn tools: each one tells a story, that of man seeking to understand, create, survive and leave a fragile mark on the world.

Today, after all these years, I still stand behind a microphone with the same desire, passion and emotion. A few syllables, onomatopoeias from the depths of my imagination, give rise to astonishing, unprecedented songs. The harmonies blend and stretch, my cello and other strummed, bowed and struck strings join in. Outside of any school, everything is created in an improbable way... Don't think for a moment that I've become a machine...
Of course, I use them, I programme them, I play them just like my other instruments, and so far, I'm still the leader of the band!

These Artefacts are another manifestation of my artistic and existential commitment, the embodiment of contemporary music
with ‘electro rock’ colours, sometimes symphonic, where darkness and light become one, abolishing the boundaries of time.

The story continues to be written.
