Improvised evening “song” about December, squirrels, nuts, guinea pigs, and childhood!

Crazy alien bear by juliendecaudin

New song! New song! New song!

As shown in the picture it’s about a bear, a crazy crazy bear, a “different” bear, and has been made for and through very positive life vibrations. (Read more…)

Peace up.

A quick reply to the previous Decover with the first and probably last video recording of a song I wrote back in 2002 and called “Misère de kéké”. I was young, student, innocent and very French.

Videotron is officially done, so I’d like to introduce Decover. Similar pedigree but this time based on a free/improvised cover of a “real” song, known or unknown.

As a first shot I picked up another thing stuck into the past: Complaint song (ex-Camper song) which is a song I wrote back in 2003 and never finished to rewrite and reinterpret through a couple of Videotrons.

I dedicate this Videotron to my elephant friend and my blog refreshment. Bisous et bonne nuit.

No comment because it’s just a French Fucking Videotron and I need to revamp this old piece of blog rather than playing guitar in my kitchen. I’m not HANGRY (the H makes more sense than me right now).

A special Videotron featuring a unique guest: Mr Y (my anonymous friend from Brittany) on the hidden guitar. Let’s be honest, the initial “happening” happened just before this, unexpectedly, and obviously without a recording, so we tried again, with a recording. It’s been different but we had pleasure, fun, no pain, and we don’t want glory as we know the consequences.

I’ve been trying to do a new videotron for months, but too much preparation kill the idea. So this one hasn’t been prepared and I’ve got a thought: should I do it more often so it gets better? I think it’s required for my own sake.

One day as I was working late, I turned my head to the right and saw the Oli’s machine in action. It made me think. But it’s cool I love this music :)

After months Videotron is back but can’t do it too loud because there is a baby upstairs, I think.

This Videotron happened just before a marvelous spaghetti bolognaise dish cooked by miss A. To be honest I did a couple of attempt before this one, all rubbish because of two much preparation…

So, this is the only rule: don’t come to the Videotron, the Videotron comes to you. Enjoy (or cry, as usual).

This is a Sunday evening’ Videotron, second attempt. Again I started naked – not litteraly – and build up “something”. Oh and yes, this one is in my mothertongue: la France!

During last week’ Bobby McFerrin gig – amazing by the way – I got an idea, and a name for this idea: Videotron. I can’t really sort out why I choose this name but I liked it.

The idea of recording some kind of improvised performances – whatever it is: music, drawing, dance, singing, speaking, … – was there for a long time. So watching Bobby being so natural, free, happy (and he didn’t worry) in front of hundreds of people certainly make the connection in my mind to do something with these “happenings” that I generally share only with people in the same room as me.

For this first attempt I started with not much in mind, just my guitar in hands, until I saw Paul Arden’s best seller “Whatever you think, think the opposite“. So I really started from there and you might find that bad or not bad. Anyway, it just happened!
