The Parlotones' wines

2010-07-16T12:53:00.000-07:00

Maybe you remember about the film "Giant Mistake". You know the Parlotones, this very famous pop rock band from South Africa. Well, they are also making their own wines. And to promote their first winen a film was made. It was directed by my friend and partner Xaver Walser, a great filmaker with whom I work all the time (check out my website, you'll see his name everywhere). And I was asked to do the music along with some of the Parlotones songs.

So the first release was a red wine, called "Giant mistake" and named after a track from the Parlotones. The film was released in 2009 :

Why am I telling you about all this ? Because two weeks ago, Xaver Walser came to Berlin and we met in real for the first time after having worked together for two years. He brought with him a bottle of Giant Mistake signed by the band !! Of course we drank it together with our wives and it was pretty fine !

There is nothing left of the wine but I safely keep the signed bottle !

But the big news is that we just finished the second film for their new white wine called "Push me to the floor", again named after another one of the Parlotones song. COMING SOON !

Tous les habits du Monde - Kleider und Leute - Japan

2010-03-22T01:53:00.000-07:00

This episode is the very first of the series. I had already been asked to compose the music for the credits. And while editing this episode, they realised they needed much more music from me for the soundtrack. So I was asked to create a whole library of tracks that would be at the disposal of all the next episodes. One of my best jobs.

Japan is the only episode where you won't hear my music, except in the credits.

Saturday the 20th of March, 6pm

Japan
Where crazy accoutrements of youth (the Gothic maid is all the rage in Tokyo), meets with the uniform of the salary man, or the cheerfully and colorful clothing of the third age.

In Japan, where eroticism for women begins with the neck, the kimono is an art.
