That’s it, they succeeded. Nice bet held, carried happily at arm’s length, as if that was always how we made songs. Nine brand new songs were therefore born, at the rate of one per month, unveiled on the ninth day of the said month. Nine months, normal gestation in humans. Less fixed duration in song, but this Duo of us, who combines an actress capable of anything (Pascale Bussières) and a strong actor-singer (Jean-François Casabonne), has adapted admirably. It’s good, the constraints. Giving oneself parameters, like a Frost fence of a playing field, allows an astonishing freedom of maneuver. Folk behind the scenes, spoken-sung melodies, very direct poetry (“What can you bring to the world / Like a vaccine that cures boredom”). It makes you think a lot of the Alexandrines, like. Funny to think that their press relation is Karine Cousineau, daughter of the late Luc, half of this other duo of us. It fits, I think.
