les daily scores - partitions quotidiennes - c'est avant tout un recueil de textes qui m'a aidé à traverser des détails du quotidien - laver une tasse, prendre un bain, perdre (retrouver) mon téléphone, être avec moi-même. je les ai écrits alors que j'habitais le sud-est de londres, entre un parc et un terrain de golf, au milieu des renards. j'ai voulu que la solitude devienne un terrain de jeu. avec le guitariste anglais pascal colman, nous avons enregistré ces textes sous forme de chanson, en 2020. plus tard il a fait un film, pour accompagner tout l'album (le clip pour to walk with sadness en est extrait). ensuite, un vidéoclip (to try) a été produit avec des ami.e.s, guidé par une partition tirée de grapefruit (yoko ono).

the daily scores were initially a collection of textscores. they helped me go through daily tasks - washing a cup, taking a bath, losing (finding) my cellphone, basically being with myself. i wrote them while living abroad, in south east london, where solitude became a playground. together with english free/fun/folk musician pascal colman, we recorded them as songs. then he made a film, for the whole album (videoclip for to walk with sadness is the end of this film). and then another another videoclip (to try) was produced with friends, based on a score from yoko ono's grapefruit.
