Hi, I hadn’t found the time until now to shine a little light on this SoundCloud collaboration that reveals the great talent of Alexia, an Australian singer with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with recently. She has brought to this song (that I initially sung myself and posted here some time ago under the name of the "musical omelette" due to it's some what "patchwork" of a structure, hence the title) a very different colour and – in my opinion – really taken it to the next level ! But that’s for you to decide upon ... http://soundcloud.com/jean-michel-george/patchwork-sung-by-alexia Hope you find time to listen and comment on this ! Thanks, JM

Hi, This is my latest composition. I don't have a clue how you will respond to it,but I do know that for once I had a very precise idea of how the finished track should sound, I'm pleased to have at least accomplished that. Once again it's a bit of a mixture of a song and a soundtrack and it has gradually become clear that this is the musical genre that I enjoy writing most, and I intend to stick with it. This piece is slightly longer than usual so I hope that you'll find the time and - as the song suggests - desire to listen all the way through to the "bitter" end ... http://soundcloud.com/jean-michel-george/the-jigsaw-girl JM

Thanks Tom :-)

Hi folks My name is Jean-Michel George. I'm a French/English composer and song-writer living in Paris. I have a lifetimes devotion and passion for music and electronic instruments in particular, dating back to my very first analogue synthesizer in the early 80's (the marvelous "duophonic" Yamaha CS40M). My musical background is influenced by artists of the Pop-Rock and New-Wave scene, past and present, numerous classical composers, ranging from Tchaicovsky to Gabriel Fauré, film composers with a particular softspot for those whose soundtracks will remain forever reminescent of so many wonderful French films of the 70s and 80s, such as Francois de Roubaix, Georges Delerue, Philppe Sarde, Francis Lai, Eric Demarsan and Vladimir Cosma to name a few, and pioneers of the experimental electronic era. I spent my early childhood in England where I studied the piano before moving to France. Over the next twenty years I formed various pop-rock groups for whom I wrote and performed tracks as lead singer and pianist. More recently I took up the guitar and drums which enables me to breath some extra-life and warmth into the essentially virtual instrumented music that I compose and record in my homestudio near Paris. Alongside my musical endevour, my artistic temperament has also drawn me over the years to painting, humbly persuing in the footsteps of my late father, an accomplished watercolor arstist. If you are curious, here is the list of sound libraries that I currently use : -Spitfire Albion II (on "Autumn Stroll" and "Pride at Dawn") - EWQL Complete composer's collection (Symphonic Orchestra, Goliath, RA, Silk, Ministry of Rock, Gypsy, Symphonic Choirs and Voices of Passion) - Native Instruments Komplete 8 - Spectrasonic Trilian Well, if you've read this far you know quite alot about me already, so here's the link : I'd love to have your feedback on some of these tracks. I believe there's a little something out there for everyone so I hope you'll find at least one or two to your liking. Hope to hear from you soon. Paris vous salue bien ! Jean-Michel
