My collaboration with Serge Gainsbourg

 

In addition to the studio recording sessions, I had the chance to write music on two Serge's lyrics :

A song written for Diane DUFRESNE :

SUICIDE Excerpt 1'05

appeared on the album "Turbulences" in 1982.

( I don't play guitar on this song...)

I took again this song in an instrumental version on my album "Guitarisme" in 1983.

The second one, written at the origin for Diane also, but finally not recorded by her,

was recorded by Elisabeth ANAIS

MON PERE UN CATHOLIQUE Excerpt 1'

B side of the single "Balance ascendant capricieuse" from 1986.

The systematic alternation of rhymes (here in "ic" and "oc") constitutes an exercise

of style in which Serge excelled...
