sufjan stevens

today i saw official video footage of sufjan stevens for the first time. and i have to say i'm impressed with this version of "casimir pulaski day", although i didn't expect less from the man who made my favourite album of last year. people who are already in the mood for christmas can listen here to his 5 cd box set with christmas singalong songs!

mira

after almost 8 months working at studio apollo, i'm making a blog about my job. apollo makes the most advertisement tunes in québec, but also produces music for television series and films. i found one of the tunes i composed and performed on the internet. it's a song i made for mira, an organization that trains dogs for blind people. originally there were lyrics in english, but in the end they appeared not to be suitable for french canadian television. here's the link.

here's another tune i made for "creation pub". it's an instrumental excerpt from a song i did for my boss paul maco. on the same site i found some radio ads we made music for. here's one for ikea (that's me on spanish guitar), and here's one for tourism ontario (i made two of the three intros). readers (especially the ladies) with a lot of time can also check out the reversa website (one of my tunes has been used for a scene with a fireman at the open fire). but essential is the second commercial for rogers. i'm the one who yells "yihaaa" with a dutch accent.

our ikea catalogue arrived!

ikea caused a small fuss over here with its new catalogue's typical "happy family" picture. find out why canada's in shock.
