Enjoy the Week End !!

Severn was amazing. Although in the middle of having a baby she managed to send a quick note to us saying she was honored to have me mix a track for the speech. I thought I was supposed to be the one honored to score such a beautiful speech.

I transformed her speech a tad by cutting into it and mixing it with the music.What she said back in 1992 is even more relevant today as time is of the essence on our troubled planet. The “It’s not the end of the world” is a call to all of us to believe in our future and the power we have to change things for the  better. I am not an environmental leader, just a music producer and artist but I believe in a better future. Part of the proceeds for this track will be donated to the David Suzuki  Foundation (Severn’s Father). He is a fabulous environmental leader and very inspiring one (some of you might have seen him in the 11th hour directed by Leonardo di Caprio).

This is just a teaser for now but soon you shall see the entire video:

Have a great week end boys and girls, and take action today (from recycling to signing petitions and getting involved) to make our planet a better place!

Peace,

Laurent

Bon Week end a tous!

Each album is a new adventure. I always pick a theme and create each track to echo the theme in a different way. For example on Wash My World, I thought that the problem we have with destroying the planet is directly linked with the stress we generate on a daily basis. In other words, if we could figure out a way to let go of the ambient stress we could take the time to think more about our planet and solve problems in regard to the environment. Explosion, I Pray were also following the same message the same story line. Of course some tracks are more for fun, I voluntarily add them to the album to make people move, to make people happy.

On Albums, I work in stages. I write several melodies and tracks with Mr. Elle. Once we have every track we listen to them over and over and over again to figure out what would the melody of the lyrics be, then we imagine different types of voices on the track. This is by far the most challenging part. Once we have the voice in mind we start hunting. I like special voices with different tonalities. For example part of the reason behind the success of No Stress is that the message is strong, the melody is engaging and Eric Carter’s voice is just perfect for this track. In the same way, I can’t imagine another voice on 70’s other than Mod Martin…perhaps Bono from U2?

Now back to the new album, I probably have heard 100’s of voices since we started the new album, we even recorded tracks thinking they would be final, and for some reasons it ended up not working. Some could think the creative process is frustrating, I see it as a challenge to be even more creative. I read not too long ago that the famous hollywood film maker Tim Burton (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,Batman Return,Sweeney Todd etc) ends up working each year on one movie that will never see the light of the projector. Some call them failed project. I see it as the perfect occasion to foster new ideas for projects, in my case songs or albums that eventually will make it on a CD.

So I know some of you are impatient to see the new album, and the release date has moved around some, but know that my team and I are doing our absolute best to produce the best sound out there.

Peace,

Laurent
