Free For You


Back in 2001, my first band in Brussels, A4, splitted. It was due mainly to a stupid drummer who was more into kung fu and cheap philosophy than in music. Hopefully it helped me to start a new project called aMute. With my old AN1X synthetizer, a guitar and a very cheap PC equipped with Samplitude I recorded "Le Temps Passe, J'ai Peur".
Meaning "Times goes by, I am Scared". Yes, I was young and beautiful, yet I was already scared of getting old. It uses a base of text from Albert Camus 's "L'Etranger" (the only book I read).

Anyway today I just moved in another place for the third time in 18 months (yeah my life is a kind of adventure) and ran over this CD and listened to it. I can't deny it made me feel weird but not old ! So things are just fine and I wanted to share that feeling with you. So it is free, it is for you, the people I love, the people I don't know, the people who don't know me. Cheers. HERE Jérôme Deuson.

Some summer news

Hi everyone,

Just some quick thoughts about what's going on with aMute right now...
Well we just restarted rehearsals with the whole band for our gig at Dour Festival.
We also plan to go in the studio in september to work on our new tunes.

By the way, as some of you may have seen I've restarted the solo shows as well and I am currently working on a new album. One of its track will be featured on a compilation by the Japanese label Nothing66 run by Atari Akihito.

We have some new dates coming (Vooruit in November, Liege in January) and are busy trying to set up a European tour for next autumn.

We hope to see you at Dour Festival where we'll be selling our last record for a price that is not even decent in Gambia. Check it out.

Cheers.
Jérôme for aMute.

Hi fellows,

It's been a while but everything is fine.
We just played a lot of shows in Belgium (solo and band) and we had a nice news this morning as we'll be working with Quiet Concerts booking (Daniel Johnston, LalaLover, John Parish, Milow...) in the future.
We hope it will open some doors to us.
