This song is a tribute to a musical instrument dear to my heart: The Fender Rhodes electric piano. I think I was charmed by its sound while listening to the song "Cristal silence" by Chick Coréa. I have no training as a pianist so this song has no musical pretensions..
I would also like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Laurent, c'est E-NOR-ME, Grandiose !
Là, ça me plaît. Entre la musique qui balance super et les petits personnages savoureux, c'est magnifique
Les meilleurs momoents: à 0'22", ça lance le morceau; la patinoire et, à 1:45 la guitare électrique, wow ! A 2'03" la descente des marches, extra ! Et, à 3'30" le Papa Noël sous les applaudissements, c'est onirique. Le final avec les tubulures, c'est...magic. Bravo !!!

Laurent, it's E-NOR-ME, Grandiose!
I like it. Between the great swinging music and the tasty little characters, it's magnificent.
Best momoents: at 0'22”, it starts the song; the skating rink and, at 1:45 the electric guitar, wow! At 2'03”, the descent of the steps, extra! And, at 3'30”, Santa Claus in the applause, it's dreamlike. The finale with the tubulures, it's...magic. Bravo !!!

Bonjour Laurent.

I love what you've created.
And I agree with you, the Fender Rhodes sound is superb.
You're a very inventive musician and creative arranger.
This production shines in so, so many ways.
You've won me smile

All the best,
--Noel

Laurent, very cool smooth jazz feel to this. The Rhodes sounds great, and this is a worth tribute. Love the delay on the soloing guitar and the shimmer that adds. That's a very lovely outro, too. Superbly crafted!

We've always enjoyed that piano also
It has worked well in so many genres over the years.

The guitar sounds great in chops/tone and everything is wrapped in a fine arrangement and mix.

Well done!

Beautiful and relaxing electric piano song - perfect to calm down after a hard day's work.
The guitar part has a bit of a Pink Floyd vibe, I like that too.

Lovely instrumental and video. I can definitely see it as a soundtrack piece. The guitar solo works brilliantly. Excellent outro, too.

Hi, Laurent.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Spendid sounds, Laurent. Hey, as they say in Philly, Inquiring minds want to know... what AI are you using now? Your video is so engaging. Love the whole tune. Chic is the perfect inspiration for your creation. Merry Christmas, Laurent.


Enjoy whatever happens!
