Poing perdu

\"After I had released Bogue and momentary stopped with Programme, I felt like writing by myself and creating a collective project. Firstly, I thought about a collective audio journal called Le brouillon. At the same time, I had the opportunity to enter the ESAV (Ecole Supérieure d'Audiovisuel- audiovisual school in Toulouse, France),and my project concerning a collective journal became a collective audiovisual project: \"Appelle ça comme tu veux\". From a quite simple screenplay (four teenagers steel a camera from a family of Japanese tourists\\ then they film their life and the society that surrounds them), I created a shooting based on real life that took months and which mixed planned and improvised moments. Then, the rest came from another quite simple screenplay (these four teenagers fasten a megaphone on the roof of a car and cross the country slamming anything that comes into their heads).
Both movies \"Appelle ça comme tu veux 1 and 2\" (60 min), and a bonus that recounts this experience and shows extracts of other little movies realized during this period (2005/2006) will be released on a new limited edition Dvd in May 2007 thanks to Mathieu Copeland, an English young contemporary art trustee.

Mathieu Copeland himself had reached me at the beginning of 2006 concerning an exhibition in Hong Kong with the artist Loris Gréaud. For this project, I composed a soundtrack, then I wrote a text, and from this, I shot this film in Hong Kong in September 2006. This is a very different attempt in comparison with \"Appelle ça comme tu veux\". This film is going to be edited in Dvd in April 2007 and an exhibition will take place in Hong Kong in May.
Loris Gréaud, as for him, directed an advertisement, for which I wrote the music and which will be on French screens from September 2007. Meanwhile, his exhibition will take place at the Palais de Tokyo. From this soundtrack and this text (Poing perdu 1, 2 and 3) that does not appear in the final movie shot in Hong Kong, I wrote and composed new songs. These constitute a mini album, my first solo album, \"Poing perdu\". It is going to be released on Ici d'ailleurs in May. At the same time, I intend to propose some live music performances/gigs where I merge my audiovisual experiences with these new songs.\"
