A long time acoustic bass player, I came across an amazing instrument in the mid nineties: the Chapman Stick. Picture a long guitar-like fingerboard that accommodates 10 stings, an instrument that plays like a piano and sounds like guitar and bass put together. The great possibilities offered by the Chapman Stick together with my love for Claude Nougaro’s songs led me to design the show "Le Taureau par les Cordes" (The Bull by the strings) a reference to Claude Nougaro’s nickname “the little Bullâ€. Solo singing tour with vocals and Chapman stick. Using a looper pedal as a phrase sampler and looper, I was able to upgrade the orchestration of the tour. (watch the video above)
