Translated from french to english:

Question: In your single "Orchestra", is what you are trying to tell us that music is a way to transcend, to escape our lives?

Answer: No, not really a text on the music itself. The orchestra represents all these ideas and feelings that are always in our heads, like a background noise. This may be conscious or unconscious, but it acts as a software and affects our behavior. However, in my case, it can also be music, it is one of my obsessions, it has its place in the orchestra!

Question: In the same song you are talking about Devil's Key, the agreement of the Devil. Is it because these thoughts are dissonant?

Answer: In fact in the Middle Ages, the agreement of the devil-Diabolus in Music was the Tritone-or augmented fourth, and had simply been banned by the church music. In "Orchestra" is our thoughts that haunt us, but people do not want to hear, they have banned. It is also a form of self-censorship that may be required. If you see a pretty girl, you think certain things but you do not say. Or the desire to kill someone repressed anger. And it's amazing he could think of a specific musical harmony was the fruit of the devil! Moreover, there is one such agreement in this particular piece. This was not planned either, but that's another of those lucky coincidences!
