This is the first demo i recorded in 2004, the title is
essayage .
Today i love to listen to this cassette (in 2004 i couldn't
even look at it) cuz' it reminds me of a good time spent with a guy i
met one afternoon durin' the summer 2004. I went to his flat where he
had an analog 4-track recorder and 3 hours later this cassette was
finished.
essayage is 8 ditties - ukulele
and vox (in french) - sung by benny
wiwi and recorded by a weirdo called Fred , one of the
most amazin' fella' i've ever met in my life. The quality of essayage
is kinda' good but it's still lofi which means hifi to me cuz' the
sound of it isn't spoilt by technology!!!! essayage
is kinda' rare now cuz' i made 40 copies of it and i have only 5 left.
The price of the cassette is 2
euros somethin' like 3
American dollars i guess...
tremo-lofi is the title of my first 10 tracks CD, tremo-lofi
is a
portmanteau word telescoping two words namely, TREMOLO and LOFI , by the
way Lewis Carroll
widely used that rhetoric means in his book Through
the Looking-Glass so unfortunately i'm not an iconoclast
have a look at
the similar
to window down below
on the left handside : "it would be
portentous to say nothin'..." The titles of the
ditties are the
following :
1)
pukulele lofi
2) talkie walkie
lofi
3) hunchback lofi
4) bobo lofi
5) cockpit lofi
6) L lofi
7) ditty lofi
8) tupperware lofi
9) souris encore lofi
10) ubu lofi.
Apart from ubu
which is Dick Annegarn 's
song all the ditties - i don't feel like callin' them songs for they
are not real songs - were composed by me and my ukulele indeed
sometimes i stare at my little instrument completely mesmerized by its
beauty and then my ballpoint pen writes on its own but i know it's the
ukulele's soul which guides it. 8 tracks on the CD are mastered and the
cover (handmade) is made of beautiful brown paper. There are only 100
copies of tremo-lofi !!!
Order tremo-lofi on ukulele
