Change

Hello everyone, 

During these past few years I've been trying my best in putting everything all together with band mates and relations. Today I feel that there's a kind of change all around me, music isn't quite my cup of tea from time to time, and sometimes, on a day like I feel like playing for hours. 

But I am happy to announce that my new record is  now 97,8% done. I don't know if it's going to be an aMute album or a Jérôme Deuson one but it's the first solo album since 2006, the name doesn't really matter. So I'll soon be in the always pleasant process of finding a label in these magnificent times where music sells millions of CD's every second ;-) 

You'll be updated. All I can tell you is that it is the darkest album I could make for one of the darkest year of my life. 

As for the band... well things have changed again. After two guitar players, three drummers, three bass players I thought it could be the right time to stay put for once. So we're thinking of mabe changing the name of the band, no aMute for the band, aMute for the solo, or Jérôme Deuson for the solo... : Who gives a shit ? People prefer to listen to original music of Belgian bands with names starting a "The" than taking the time to read those lines. And I don't blame that. 

There's a compilation available here for free with a track I did for Tsukuboshi label where I was asked to use sound banks of Tunisian field recordings. 

Check it out.

Unlucky with the weather makes us happy with you anyway.

So here it is, the Brussels Summer Festival is now over and we had fun though the weather looked like a Tsunami campaign from the sky. Here are a few photoshoots by our friend Bartolomeo La Punzina as a souvenir.

We are currently working on a new album as a band and I can also see that the timing of my new solo album (which will be released under my name actually) is now overpassing 25 minutes ! Work in progress as always but I keep the good vibe.

We'll be performing on next 22nd of January at the Centre Culturel de Jette in Brussels.

Cheers !

See you next time Japan

Hello to all,


My venue in Japan had to be cancelled two weeks ago for personnal reasons. But anyway, no regrets. The strike of Lufthansa on monday and tuesday wouldn't have allowed me to take off from Brussels and now there's this Icelandic ash cloud coming and all flights are cancelled.
So no regrets and see you next time.

Cheers.

Play for a smile - New band members - New solo tour - New track

Everything right now reminds me of how mental life becomes fragile after a while... I remember working for Le Bonheur, the best record shop of the world, in the 2000's, listening to Forest Time on a limited 1 track LP edition. The good old days. Days when people used to be fair, at least more than now.

Yes this is my winter time complaint about assholes, loosers, opportunists and fake bullshiters. I dedicate this post to our friend from L'Internationale where we played last saturday in Paris. I dedicate this post to people who think they help musicians by making them play but never give you a smile.

We were invited by the Belgian In Paris (who are, them, really nice people) to play at L'Internationale. They refused to feed one of the crew member (I personnaly asked for a bowl to throw him some food on the ground, sarcastically of course), they almost threw us out of the club because of the Sarkozy Stasi that could have come for the noise, asked to put volume down during soundchecks and so on and so on. Almost no "Hello" and for sure no smiles. Well people of L'Internationale : You're a bunch of pathetic young lads who should burn in hell. I personally take the responsabilty to tell you : FUCK YOU. At least the club was full so we guess that you sold plenty of 4€ plate beers and made money on us (while paying musicians less than 30€ each). Thanks for those being there and sorry for the complaint. But people who think they defend culture by slow paying musicians and treating them like shit are not art promoters but stereotypical loosers. I've played for free, I don't give a fuck about dollars and understood a while ago that I never will, but at least I play for a smile.

So a few nicer news.
There are new band members : Geoffroid Heyne (Drums) and PEb (Bass). Everything is fine and we are having fun.


There will soon be a solo tour. I'll keep you posted with that very soon but I can tell you it's not in Paris and not in New Zealand :). I'll be glad to present a few rushes from my new future solo album due to december.


And as a rush for that solo album you may find one piece of it on the new compilation from a new Japanese label called Nothings66. You can go here

Cheers people and we hope to see you on the 27th of February at Magasin 4.
