about

Cet album était une maquette destiné à monter un groupe autour de l'univers des B.O. de jeux vidéos, c'est une succession de morceaux-collages des meilleurs morceaux et illustrations sonores des jeux auxquels je jouais dans les années 80-90 (essentiellement des titres issus des consoles Nintendo), mixés avec des références multiples au jazz, à la synth pop, etc.
Le groupe a bien été monté, a répété pendant une année pour une date unique unique au Fiacre, Bordeaux le 15 novembre 2006. Il était constitué de Clément aka WaterDuck à la guitare, Julien Paoletti à la basse, Luc Kerouantan à la batterie et moi-même aux synthés.
Vous excuserez la qualité médiocre des mixs, je débutais alors dans l'enregistrement et cet album n'était qu'un support pour les répétitions du groupe...

This album was a model intended to make a group around the universe of the B.O. of video games, it is a succession of the best pieces and the sound illustrations of the video-games which I played in the years 80-90 (essentially titles from Nintendo System), mixed with multiple references to the jazz, to the pop synth, etc.
The group was well taken up, repeated during one year for only one date in the bar "Le Fiacre", Bordeaux on November 15th, 2006. It was constituted by Clément aka WaterDuck (guitar), Julien Paoletti (bass), Luc Kerouantan (drums) and myself (synths).
You will excuse the mediocre quality of mixs, I began then in the recording and this album was only a way for the band's rehearsals.

MICHEL BANANES JR image

MICHEL BANANES JR Bordeaux, France

His right hand runs jazz phrases in a dazzling and hilarious fashion, his left hand lays algorithmic and synthesis.
An instinctive musician, he shapes his melody with a chainsaw, blending opposing influences.
His journey both in visual Art & music has made his musical universe a place of collages, frictions, of interlopes where the contexts collide in a charming chaos.
