Back to the Roots: My New Musical Creations

After a break full of adventures and new experiences, I am happy to reconnect with you through my new musical creations. 🎶 These past years have been filled with precious moments and challenges, but I have finally found the time to bring to life melodies that have been patiently waiting in the shadows. I have finally been able to find moments to record and arrange melodies that have been dormant for a long time. These varied compositions reflect my artistic and personal journey.

Today, I am ready to share these new works with you, hoping that music will never drift away for so long again. Thank you for welcoming me back into your hearts and ears. I invite you to discover my new pieces on Spotify and download them on Bandcamp. Your listening and support are precious!

With gratitude and anticipation,
Desrosiers

Retour aux sources : mes nouvelles créations musicales

Après à une pause pleine d'aventures et de nouvelles expériences, je suis heureux de vous retrouver avec de nouvelles créations musicales. 🎶 Ces dernières années ont été remplies de moments précieux et de défis, mais j'ai enfin trouvé le temps de redonner vie à des mélodies qui attendaient patiemment dans l'ombre. J'ai enfin pu trouver des instants pour enregistrer et arranger des mélodies qui sommeillaient depuis longtemps. Ces compositions variées sont le reflet de mon parcours artistique et personnel. Aujourd'hui, je suis prêt à partager ces nouvelles œuvres avec vous, en espérant que la musique ne s'éloignera plus jamais aussi longtemps. Merci de m'accueillir à nouveau dans vos cœurs et vos oreilles. Je vous invite à découvrir mes nouvelles pièces sur Spotify et à les télécharger sur Bandcamp. Votre écoute et votre soutien sont précieux ! Avec gratitude et anticipation, Desrosiers

What if Politicians Were Musicians?

Bush's cabinet (2001-2009) funnily portrayed as a rock band in the excellent essay by Ian F. Svenonius ''Super Natural Strategies for Making a Rock 'N' Roll Group''

.....Bush, selected for his everyman affability, is the singer. Cheney, not personable but notoriously controlling, is the lead guitarist. Rice, a team player known for her appearance and style, would be on bass; and Don Rumsfeld is the classic drummer-an idiotic megalomaniac showman, simmering with resentment at not being the top dog.

What if Musical Instruments Were Body Parts

Accordion Crimes book cover

Inpiring Excerpt I thought was worth sharing from a book I'm currently reading: Accordion Crimes by Pulitzer Prize-Winning author Annie Proulx,:

''You got to think a musical instrument is human or, anyway, alive,'' said Beutle. ''You take fiddle now, we say it has a neck, and in the human neck what do you find? Vocal cords like strings, where the sound comes from. Now, the accordion, we have here an instrument that breathes! It breathes, it lives. Jesus Christ! Even so without a neck. Lungs it's got. An d the piano? The keys are fingers, answering your fingers. The trumpet, the cornet, is a nose. That you blow...''

Harmonica Jam Session

Not a big fan of harmonica, but got to admit those guy are in the zone!

Pas un grand fan d'harmonica, mais cette petite prestation improvisée me réconcilie avec l'instrument :)
