Manu is a French musician from Montreal, who has produced numerous exuberant tracks for tv commercials and developed a skill to figure out how “a queen platform bed at reduced price…” should sound like.
Yet, some balance was needed between joyous music and personal melancholy: such conflict gave birth to this album. His musical exploration started in the late 90's, playing electric guitar in various garage bands, experimenting computer capacities, programming drums, sequencing audio fragments, jamming melodious instances, encrypting vocals through vocoder, deconstructing samples and resurrecting them into musical phrases under atmospheric soundscapes.
According to him, he wrote all the songs in his living room studio, next to the big green window choked by the vines. A creative spot that sparked the ritual to spontaneously play, record and mix the majority of his tracks. Inspired, by people, lost loves, arts, Manu (Emmanuel Tremblay) managed to convey melancholy into poetic overtones, sustaining a warm ambience that would blow any dust puddle around. The music collides with luminous reality, revealing a cinematic intensity while keeping a good rational dose of electric rhythms and energy.
