Je suis parti allong\u00e9 sur une chaise longue ou assis les pieds dans le sable devant le soleil au son des vagues de la mer. Crayon et papier en mains, durant douze jours, j\u2019ai dessin\u00e9 des rythmes quotidiennement diff\u00e9rents. J\u2019ai imagin\u00e9 un A et parfois un B et quelques fois un C \u00e0 chaque jour.<\/p>\n
Les trois premiers jours, il n\u2019y avait que deux notes. En fait, c\u2019\u00e9tait la grosse et la petite caisse. Rendu aux quatri\u00e8me et cinqui\u00e8me journ\u00e9es j\u2019ai ajout\u00e9 une troisi\u00e8me note qui \u00e9tait bien s\u00fbr le hi hat (cymbales \u00e0 pied). Et puis, c\u2019est devenu changeant jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la douzi\u00e8me journ\u00e9e. Quelques fois il n\u2019y avait qu\u2019une seule note.<\/p>\n
Lorsque j\u2019suis revenu \u00e0 la maison apr\u00e8s les vacances, et, que j\u2019ai voulu interpr\u00e9ter les rythmes que j\u2019avais \u00e9crits, j\u2019ai eu toute une surprise. \u00c9videmment j\u2019utilisais ma batterie pour \u00e7a et ce qui avait l\u2019air si facile \u00e0 la plage, \u00e9tait face \u00e0 ma batterie tr\u00e8s complexe.<\/p>\n
D\u2019abord ceux qui \u00e9taient \u00e9crits sur une ligne ne me fournissaient pas assez d\u2019information pour que je puisse y aller all\u00e8grement et cr\u00e9er quelque chose d\u2019int\u00e9ressant. Et ceux qui \u00e9taient bien \u00e9crits \u00e9taient trop difficiles pour moi qui ne poss\u00e9dais pas la technique voulue pour pouvoir les jouer convenablement. Inutile d\u2019\u00e9crire que j\u2019ai travaill\u00e9 tr\u00e8s fort pour y arriver et j\u2019ai d\u00fb simplifier plusieurs fois et ralentir les tempos que j\u2019avais choisis au d\u00e9part.<\/p>\n

– ENGLISH –<\/p>\n
I wast lying on a lounge chair or sat with my feet in the sand, in the sun, to the sound of the sea waves. Pencil and paper in hand, for twelve days, I drew different rhythms every day. I imagined an A and sometimes a B and a few times a C every day.<\/p>\n
The first three days, there were only two notes. In fact, it was the bass drum and snare. On the fourth and fifth day, I added a third note which was of course the hi hat (foot cymbals). And then, it got changing until day 12. Sometimes, there was only one note.<\/p>\n
When I came home from the holidays, and wanted to perform the rhythms I had written, I was quite surprised. Obviously, I was using my drums for that and what looked so easy at the beach, was, sitting at the drum set, very complex.<\/p>\n
First, the ones that were written on only one line didn’t give me enough information for me to go out there and happily create something interesting. And those that were well written, were too difficult for me (who didn’t have the desired technique) to be able to play them properly. Needless to say, I worked really hard to get there and had to simplify it a few times and slow down the tempos I had chosen at the beginning.<\/p>\n
