Here’s a cool little video by the good people at Dublab, which they describe as “an experiment in sound recycling”.
I like the idea of filming people in their search for interesting records because that’s what one of the things I do in my free time…Except I don’t use the records to create new beats, which just adds to the interestingness of things.

Here’s another live set recorded at a house party held last saturday in the 20th arrondissement of Paris.
This time around I focused more on the old rock n’ roll side of things, either with rare foreign covers or 60s surf music. Towards the end I also played some of my latest funky findings.
All in all a pretty fun party. Thanks to John, Romain, and Vincent!
I haven’t had time to take my cameras out for a couple of months, what with being busy looking for a new job and Paris being so cold and grey. But I’ve finally settled my professionnal situation and the weather has been getting nicer and nicer.
I was recently invited to my ex-colleague’s wedding in the lovely 18th arrondissement of Paris (Montmartre, painters, the Sacré Coeur, Amélie Poulain and all that). After a fun photo shoot with the wedding photographer (who admired my Fisheye lens), we headed to a small and cozy restaurant where we proceeded to eat and drink in honour of the new official couple, Veerle (Belgium) and Josué (Guatemala).
That’s where I was able to get some nice, unusual wedding photos:
