The Process

I don't know if I have a standard process for creating music. Nevertheless I always get inspired by sounds, a good story or a great movie. My latest release sticks to that process!

I was seating at my piano when suddenly a harmony I played reminded me of a great movie from 2003 - "Lost in Translation". I really don't know why, because I remember the plot but not the music, but I guess that inspiration came from the image that the harmony I played created on my mind.

I think I don't need to say much about this oscar winning movie from Sofia Copolla with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. In fact I only saw the movie once, right after it's release, and I haven't seen it since. I plan to see it again soon, but I guess that if I saw it during the creation process it could ruin the image I had already created in my mind and therefore ruin the vision I had for the song.

The Song

It's a very simple piano melody, an electric piano, a background rhythm guitar and a strong supporting drums in crescendo, punctuated with some really over-processed and overloaded distorted guitar, that in my humble opinion give the overall ambiance a very interesting touch. I guess a bit like the memory I have from "Lost in Translation"... the subtle humour behind that crazy love story.

This is my first 2018 release, exclusively on musicoin.org

Hope you like listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it...and don't forget to watch the movie too!
