What am I?
I’m nothing, I’ve always been nothing, not going anywhere
nothing has ever gone before…
In my daily life I'm a boring CMA, CIA, CFE who specializes in
financial analysis, internal auditing and control. No wonder I'm
going bald and why the band does not play that very specific song...
Indeed one needs to eat and feed his family but one also needs to realize
oneself and music is in my case the easiest road to enlightenment.
Like my good friend Benoît I also suffer from the same incurable
disease called GAS, but mine is one much more primitive then his, mine
is before the genetic mutation. Indeed it gets you from within and makes
you loose your friends, especially on stage when there is nowhere to
run for fresh air…
I started playing drums at the age of 5 on my first Ludwig kit. Do not
let the numbers on years impress you, I could tell you that I started
at 2 weeks ago and you wouldn’t notice… I jumped from band
to band later on but really got serious with the band AFTERIMAGE a Tribute
to Rush. We did about 60 shows on a 4-year period. But we disbanded when
one of the members moved to another province. At that time Benoît
was our occasional roadee. We had play together in the past and now was
the time to reband under CONTINUUM. We started as a Tribute Band to Rush
but ended in recording our own original stuff. It was much fun. Sadly
I started my quest to better education and had to let go of music for
a few years.
When this quest was completed I pick-up the phone and called Ben to see
if he would be interested to rereband for a Tribute to Rush. He was delighted
and there we took off. Sylvain Pinsonneault joined us a few weeks after.
Sector A was born.
My role in the band is to provide basic tempo so the other two can show
off on stage. I concentrate more on GASing them as personal revenge for
their talent. I also provide shelter for our practice sessions. I’m
very thankful to my wife for enduring all the noise we make. She is fantastic!
I’m also the public person of the band, nobody appointed me for
that task… That’s How it is…
So Entre nous, on my own Freewill and under the Circumstances I monitor
the Vital Signs of my Second Nature to be Closer
to the heart . As the
Working Man that I’m, I would like to make The
Big Money, but Natural
Science has not demonstrated indeed that Time Stand
Still so the Dog
Years are forcing you to Turn The page on the New
World Man and remain
the Digital Man that Middletown Dreams Cut
to the Chase in Open Secrets.
Heresy about the Available Light is a Scar on my Mission. The Everyday
Glory Speed Of Love Marathon is a Superconductor Mystic
Rhythms Driven by a Distant Early Warning. Between
Sun and Moon I Carve Away The Stone with my Secret
Touch waiting for a Sweet Miracle, a Peaceable
Kingdom this One Little Victory in the Limelight : Concert Hall
I need a break!
Have fun and happy drumming!
