I was at Wendl&Lung in Vienna, Austria for a master training in piano preparation and voicing. What a pleasure to be with people who share the same passion for pianos. Very instructive! Seen on the photos are : Antoni Maleszka, Bogdan Kapsarev, Sibin Zlatkovic, Orestis Vavitsas and Peter Veletzky
Here I am in action! An important step in piano voicing is to perfectly fit the contact of the hammers to the 3 strings unisons:
Thanks guys! |

Bal musette & Live Paintings Last Friday July the 14th 2006, Espace Sutton presented a Bal Musette that included two live Paintings. This dancing night gathered 320 people at the main Chalet of the ski station Mont Sutton, the biggest crowd ever for an indoor event in Sutton! The president of Espace Sutton, Jean Marsolais as said to be
very pleased by the results of the event. "This year, we
decided to present our Live Paintings event in a Bal Musette
set up and the date chosen of the 14th of July was obvious since it
corresponds to France's national day and that every since the French
revolution, they gather for a gigantic Bal Musette. Our event was
so popular that we had to refuse quite a lot of people, the hall wasn't
big enough to accept

It is following a recent accordion makers tour in France and Italy in November 2005 that M. Giampaolo Bompezzo from the Brandoni-Bompezzo accordion maker, (the peoples who built my own accordion) hired me to represent them in their kiosk at the Frankfurt MusikMesse in Germany. So from March the 27th till April the 2nd 2006 I spent a wonderful week playing the Brandoni accordions while visiting some other exhibitors. I had big success with my AcidJazz originals. From those compositions, a CD called Accordéon NoW! will soon be available. Here is an excerpt from the title Reed My Lips. |

At the Frankfurt MusikMesse, I also discovered the fabulous Viennese piano Wendl & Lung. These pianos are really fantastic and at an affordable price too. I took the opportunity to present my Accordion MultiMedia Conference to people passing by. I tried some rather original German percussions instruments. Schlagwerk Percussion. Their congas (Cajongas) are completely made out of wood, even the skin is wood! Take a look at a YouTube video showing me trying them. These instruments sound so nice and effortless to play, you get to concentrate on your music rather than on the technique. If you like to groove, the Schlagwerk percussion instruments are for you!
