Christian https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/narguer-le-temps RD RockSouthernEv^5 RT 700 Electric Bass RT 663 Acoustic Guitar RT 1035 Banjo RT 1601 Mandolin RT 2033 Mandolin RT 626 Harmonica 1) Perché sur le dos d'un flamant, j'ai vu passer un garnement qui jouait à gober le vent, à traverser les nuages blancs. Sur un morceau de papier blanc, j'étale des mots, des sentiments. Je m'amuse à narguer le temps, en le figeant, juste en rêvant. 2) Les nuages blancs se sont percés et les gouttes se sont déversées. L'enfant joue à s'éclabousser dans les flaques qui se sont formées. Sur mon morceau de papier blanc, les lettres ont plu abondamment. Elles ont plu à mon âme d'enfant qui s'est souv'nu de ses dix ans. 3) Le garçon est rentré chez lui, le corps trempé, le cœur ravi, se jurant d' revenir ici pour assouvir ses folles envies. Sur un morceau de papier blanc, un autre jour demain m'attend. J'irai encore narguer le temps, en le figeant, juste en rêvant. https://christian.devienne.org/

Taunting time 1) On the back of a flamingo, I saw a kid who was playing to swallow the wind, to cross the white clouds. On a sheet of white paper, I write words and feelings. I have fun taunting time, by freezing it, just dreaming. 2) White clouds have been drilled and it has rained. The child plays to splash in the puddles. On a sheet of white paper, the letters rained abundantly. My child's soul was pleased to remember when I was ten years old. 3) The boy went home, his wet body and his light heart, swearing to come back here to satisfy his crazy cravings. On a sheet of white paper, another day tomorrow is waiting for me. I will have fun taunting time, by freezing it, just dreaming. https://christian.devienne.org/

I do not remember the names of the singers anymore, but at that time I often listened to French pops. It is different from your usual style. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Well done! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing? BiaB 2025 \| Windows 11 \| Reaper \| Way too many VSTis.
