“Moustache de baleine” stands for “whale’s mustache”, another great philosophical title song of mine. I used to introduce that song as being composed by a rastaman after a nuclear war… Why “whale’s mustache”? I don’t know. If someone has the answer, please, do not hesitate to contact me.
The song is of course based on a weird structure and concept. It’s actually a 4 voice counter point based on augmented fours.
I love the whole tone scale. Like the diminish scale they have no real tonal sound. They can be many tonalities at the time (6 for the whole tone scale and 3 for the diminish) and none at the same time. Talk about unstable sound.
I really like the way horns player play with the theme. Pierre Lafrenaye (trp) and Normand Devault are going really far out in the solo bit. I love it!
Line up:
- Soprano Sax: Jocelyn Menard
- Trumpet: Pierre Lafrenaye, solo
- Guitar: Hervé Senni
- Keyboard: Normand Devault
- Percussion: Normand Bock
