On August 2006, brilliant singer Percy Howard (produced by Bill Laswell and played with Fred Frith, Charles Hayward, Vernon Reid, Trey Gunn, Jarboe among others) asked me to compose a track for his next album. The working title of the tune was "Mulunde".
Ivan Georgiev helped me to redefine the sound on some parts.
Unfortunately, i never received any news from Percy since then...
Don't know if he will actually use it. Anyway, this song might appear on my next album.

On Autumn 2006, serious plans to tour in Europe with Bill Brovold's Larval were built. Unfortunately, the project never encountered real interest in the venues targeted.

By end of 2006, Code314 asked me to do a remix of a song he wrote with Matthias B. It was a great opportunity to try something i never did at the time. The result can be heard as the closing track of the second compilation of the so called Soft Remixed Machine Project.

Beginning of 2007, Franck Balestracci, an artist signed on Carbon7 Records, asked me to collaborate to one of the song that will appear on his third release (no schedule yet). Inspired by Philip K.Dick, i wrote some lines that i'm actually reading on this song.

In 2007 still, François Vanvinckenroy finally decided to build up his own project, wich will be called later Landing Grace.
Like he did for the "Multiply" album, he gave me sketches of
songs i tried to rearrange. I helped him to shape the songs and i wrote a bunch of lyrics for most of them. Later on, singer Natacha Wallez (Elliot Drop) will join, taking the lead and eventually modify the lyrics. Landing Grace performed for the first time on october 2007 as a fourtet with violonist Diane Martin (Barely Sober) and bassplayer Marc Lognard.
