Recorded in the mid 70's The Droids are still close to us, really not so far, check them on The Droids " myspace " page... Here is what Yves Hayat said about his video on youtube : " Hey, I'm so happy to see so many comments about my music!! It was so long time ago... Daft punk makes me also think of my music... "
Then, may we should ask Daft Punk if they got infuenced by The Droids, specificly with the " costume " : )
On their site we can read that it is an interpretation of type as sound. Using new software and the M.E.E.K. typographic synthesizer, the musician/designer develops sounds and typographic visuals in parallel. Meek FM will be premiering as an interactive installation at the Typo2007. The Meek FM team will also perform live at the Festival event.
Then, would it be interesting (or not) to make musical portraits ? Can"t wait to try it one day !
Serge Gainsbourg wrote “Laisse tomber les filles” for France Gall in 1964. Get it on the “super 45 tours Philips 434-949-BE” with the musical direction of Alain Goraguer. This song for France Gall is sort of a long leitmotiv where she ask the « free boy » to nevermore go again to meet with other girls. If he do it, he gonna get in troubles…
“One day you will be left One day you will be crying You will pay a day soon Luck leave the one who always leave hurted hearts You will have nobody to get better You will deserve it…”
This disillusioned futur told by an « innocent heart » is little bit strange to the youth thoughts from the 60’s, and this lyrics from this young girl mouth is sort of provocation.
About Gainsbourg lyrics, Gilles Verlant wrote :
« Gainsbourg texts get nothing in common with the simply lovely universe from the yéyés, wich is of course charming but without any deepness and distance. Then he straight impose a second degree reading and also a negative aspect ! […] In the songs he wrote for her, there is clearness, sort of refusing to be caught under the big joke of love, the one wich we never say never or always. And this time this is not a 30 or 35 years old guy singing, but a tennager… »
France Gall voice is holded by jazzmen, and the way horns and percussions are used in this structure is not far from his succes. Brittish and americans still envy this « french pop sound » wich is still covered nowodays.
Then here is 3 movie about this song, the first one is the original essence with France Gall :
The second one is a real pop "décalée" cover by Mareva Scopitone :
