Clones society 2



These are some excerpts from animated series "Les multiples" ("The multiples") on which I worked on in 2007. There are 6 episodes of 12 minutes.
Shown in "La nouvelle trilogie" (produced by Gilles Galud and Bruno Gassio) on Canal +, the story is about a big TV producer cloning average people to use those clones, those multiples, in his TV repetitive shows and furthermore to use them in some obscure trafficking. A trashy and bitter universe.

I produced and pre-mixed the foley, sound effects and backgrounds on the 6 episodes. Music and jingles were composed by studio X-track.
Directed by Julien David and written by Julien David and David Azencot.

I've made a previous post on which you can see the first draw, home produced pilot for "The multiples"

Peter Sullivan was living in a quiet place


Scream from 1000 lakes is still awaited in theatre. No news since we had this catchy trailer a few years ago. No doubts that we wanna see more.

Directed by Julien David, this is a real trailer for a fake blockbuster in which balloons take over and become the actors.
Julien's idea was to use the reciepe of hollywoodian trailers, using an imaginary standard story-line.

After his shooting and editing I had to record the different actors for the voices, some supposed to come from the fictional scenes plus a voice-over for the trailer.
Then I sourced and produced different sound effects, giving a color that would carry the sense it already came from a movie.
At the end I included the music in the mix, which has been composed by Ronan Maillard.

The result is pretty entertaining and has been shown on tv network Canal + in "Les films faits à la maison"

Hell of a season


Last year i composed the entire sound design, voice editing and soundscapes, for "Whispering ghosts", an experimental 12min film melting visuals, audio, and poetry.
Directed by Taiki Sakpisit, and written by Jandhara Jansirin Suttichat, the piece was originally created for the "Art of corruption" festival.

Inspired from Arthur Rimbaud's "A season in hell", text lines in whispering ghost thus refer to several scapes and characters, that will constitute the sequences in the film. Such as:
the witch whispering curses, the young girl, the judgement, the wandering spirit of a new-born, the lovers, the deal, the death, the witch again.

"Whispering ghosts" was in september selected and shown at the 13th Thai short film and video festival, taking place at Bangkok Art and Culture Center.
It eventually got a price, The Vichimatra Award. "Vichimatra awards are given to shorts which demonstrate distinctive achievements in filmmaking according to the jury's judgement."

Complex deliquescence



Last week Delicate organized "Complicate" in this jovial and sympathetic spot in RCA, Cosmic café.
Experimental rock or electronica live act is the motto.

The apostate started the discussion and set the mood with some inspired post new wave rock sonic injections.
Giwi not shake then delivered some interesting sequences drawing a fragile and playful electronica.
Space 360 and Dj Ramin arrived with a burst of energic beats, bass and well placed scratches.
At midnight it was my turn, for a 30 min set on Live, attacked at 105 BPM with some electro non binary beats, to finish with a jackin tech-house sound at 120 bpm.
At this point, Frozen and Kijjaz took the wires and finished with pleasant experimental techno electronica tunes.


A good night, a different sound in Bangkok indeed, check out the next ones.

Le malentendu

Currently working on soundscapes for a theatre play. It's called Silent scream, an adaptation from Albert Camus' dark novel "The misunderstood".
The piece will be performed at Democrazy theatre from 20 to 30 november at 7.30pm.
















I'll post some audio excerpts soon.
