Au cinéma [Jean-Luc Le Ténia]

by @bxphane

Liner Notes

#postpunk #retro #rock

I went to the cinema yesterday and saw a documentary about a french singer who lived in my town. He is kind of a local hero. Jean-Luc Le Ténia was the french equivalent of Daniel Johnston and wrote between 1300-2000 songs.

I extracted his vocals with the website lalal.ai This song is a cover of his cover song.

You can find the orignal song here : https://shorturl.at/truvx

Intéressant. J'ai déjà entendu son nom mais je ne pense pas avoir entendu des morceaux de Jean Luc Le Ténia. Wikipédia dit que les Wampas lui ont aussi rendu hommage, pas mal ! Merci d'avoir lié la musique originale. La cover apporte vraiment un truc un peu plus groovy !

Really digging the percussion choices under the kind of new wave/80s flair accompaniment! And listening to the French, lovely, even though the only word my untrained ears were catching was “cinema”

This is very different in style from what I've heard from you before, but I really like it! After listening to the original, you really breathed a lot of life into it with your original spin too, very much made it your own. To be honest, I like your version better! Great work!

I love the bass tone!

I don’t know enough French to understand what is being said beyond “Au cinéma” but based on the vibe, Jean-Luc and I are on the same page. Beyond that, I love the use of a tool like lalal.ai to do a cover with a hero, and I think you’re rendition is very nice.

Aaaahhh, I love this! Definitely has that Molchat Doma feeling. You really manage to create a soundscape of which I only dream of.

An intriguing idea, and I have to say the realization really works. Listened to the original so I could compare the versions and I find it really cool that by replacing the guitar with bass and drums, you're in effect making the song more melodic than it originally was.

Voilà qui est délicieusement rétro ! La texture est... moëlleuse. On se sent chaleureusement enveloppé par cette basse et cette batterie. On croit toucher le décorum fluffy des complexes multisalles. La poésie est incroyable. Entre le court-cirtcuit du trivial au sublime et les basculements impromptus dans le cringe.
