Les vieux dossiers (live)

Sometimes you have to dig up the old files... or maybe let a few skeletons out of the closet. So I put together a selection of my best live recordings, fished out of my digital archives. To fill a gap: over the years, only three of my songs were available to the “general public” (a big word, I admit). And yet I had hundreds of recordings of all kinds: in concert, in rehearsal, at parties, or early demos. After a long and painful sort, I picked thirteen of them to make an album.

The sound, often recorded live straight to tape, has been remastered for the best possible compromise.

The album is available here on compact disc and as a download, and on the usual digital platforms (Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, Amazon…).
