So last thursday I played at the festival Les Digitales. This was the 3rd edition of the festival and as usual it took place in the beautiful park of Mon-Repos in Lausanne. Hopefully, no rain.
Last year I was in the audience so I was pleased to play this year. Unfortunately things didn’t went as smoothly as I had planned… Indeed when my turn came, I got a big issue with my sound card that seemed to be close to death. After 20 minutes trying to figure out what was the actual issue, rebooting many times my laptop, etc, the organizers asked Bacalao (next musician in the program) to start playing. So I got some time for fixing the issue and I actually had to reinstall the driver of my sound card (hopefully I had a local copy). I could play later but I definitely lost some concentration. Moreover, at the beginning of my set I had the (bad) idea to propose a small kid to blow into a straw and make bubbles in my champaign cooler (!). But then some other kids came and started talking to me: “Can you play Michael Jackson?”, and after a while “Can you play some other music?” ;-)… that was fun but didn’t help me much!! So I did quite a lot of mistakes and I completely missed the guitar part compared to what I had planned to do. At least it shows it’s really live music.

Anyway you can download the recording (26:24, mp3, 36.3MB).

And here are some videos (sorry for the bad quality).
