Frenchball !
Hi everyone!
Today, to change with the articles about my album, I want to talk about compositions I did during the last weeks, between the recordings for my album.
Frenchball is a new youtube channel created by Frenchnerd. François Descraques contacted me a few weeks ago to tell me about it, and he asked me to compose for a few things.
There were two steps.
At first, I worked on 3 music themes for the videos called "Soirées Loose"
François sent me different songs to inspire me in terms of music style, I was free to compose the way I wanted, as long as I was close to that style.
Here are the kind of descriptions François sent me:
"a cool/relax theme for introductions, like a funny tutorial"
"an action theme for some parts with a fast action"
"a party theme like you did with the Bal on the Visitor from the Future,...or in a funny Ska-Punk style"...
What's the result of that ? Here are some videos I did while recordings the last two themes (you'll discover the other one soon in the new videos)
The second part of that work was the trailer video for the channel.
This time, I received the video, with some music in it. Like before, these songs were there to inspire me in terms of style and length.
I composed three songs: one in a jazz style, one in a marching band style, and another one in a orchestral style closer to what I usually do for The Visitor from the Future.
Here are some samples:

Shadows - Recording the drums, bass and keyboards parts - episode 7
Hi everyone!
Today, here are some recordings samples, all about one song, with a lot of instruments on it.
Remembering Children's Games is an instrumental song, about children playing, creating their own universe for a few moments...
To end, here's my updated todo list, I think the instruments recordings will be finished next week !

Shadows - Demos VS Actual Recordings
Hi everyone!
Today, I wanted to change a bit, so no video samples.
Today I'd like to speak about the differences between the demos and the recordings.
If you read this blog regularly, you read here about the different steps when creating this album.
Once the whole album composed, I had all the songs in a demo form. They all had their "almost definitive" structure, the strings parts, bass and drums riffs, and some basic keyboards parts.
I already knew what I wanted to add to these demos, the sounds, the keyboards, some effects...
When I started to record everything, I played the things I wanted, the way I wanted them to sound...
And the songs came to life. In the first post about recording the album, I told that I was discovering the songs, and that's still the case for all the songs.
Today, I want you to understand what I mean, so here are three samples. On each one, you'll hear the demo version, then the actual recording. It's always the same sample (not mixed).
I hope you'll like them, see you next week !
