Weiss sur glace - vidéo (et morceau) nouveau

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cofPH5RYI4

My new song "Isolation Song", recorded in Stockholm, Sweden in an all-analogue studio with French artist Marjolaine on accordion and backing vocals (and my brother Valter on percussion and Sebastian Berghult on double bass).

The video was filmed on a frozen lake outside Stockholm (where I used to spend the summers as a child). We found some old "sparkstöttingar" (Swedish winter vehicles from a bygone era) in a barn, and shot a video (no script or plan ). My sister Anna shot and edited the video.

I hope you will enjoy it!

Straight to my youtube favorite songs list

I just love it!!!
Excellent Fred...
Directly to my favorites too and on my facebook wall!!!
You can be very proud of this song dude!!!

Great ! I usually don't like song with accordion (who says not enough rock n' roll ? ) but this one sounds really great. Good job

One question : I thought the cold and temperature change were the enemy of our music instruments, especialy acoustic ones. But looking at your video, it does not seem to bother you whe playing your beautifull weissenborn ouside in the cold ! Did you take any special care before the shot ?

Wohooo ! Great and beautiful song !

Love sound, vocals, double bass, percus and water effect... and your playing as usual Congrats to all !

To be very honest, I'm not sure I'm really fond of effect on your voice Fred : I prefer pure vocals....

But this is really great anyhow !!

Very nice!!
I have to admit that the voice effect startled me at first, but it serves the tune quite well. Even though I would personnally prefer it less important.

But the atmosphere of the tune is terrific!!
Great job!

I will copy paste my comment from the Youtube

What I really love with you Fred it's the background melancoly and the haunting melodies. This clip is a perfect example on the brillant composition and as icing on the cake the wonderful voice of MArjolaine add even more density to your own interpretation

Yes !!
Really enjoy listenning to your songs !

Merci beaucoup les gars!

About the cold and the Weissenborn, it was no problem. It had been in its case at outdoors temperatures for some hours before, so I think it was pretty cold already. It hardly went out of tune!

The effect on my voice is a tape delay. When I wrote this song I recorded a demo at home, and tried a (very short) stereo delay on my vocal, and I liked it for this tune (I usually prefer no effects at all on my voice). So when mixing the studio recording of the tune, we added a tape delay (my voice run through a 1/4" tape recorder, and then back to the mixing desk - it's a studio with great equipment - the mixing desk used to belong to Pink Floyd!).

Merci encore les gars! I am pleased with this tune, so I am glad you enjoy it!

By the way - you lucky people who are in Paris - go and see Bob Brozman and René Lacaille tonight!
