Make it Rock, Make it Roll

"Make it Roll" is the brand-new music video of my band Akouphën!

Its making of was epic and the video experienced a 14-month gestation period! Most of the footage was symbolically shot on November 11th, 2011 (11.11.11), on the release of the album the track is from, entitled "ΣLΣVΣN".

With all my injury problems it took me months to get the rushes back, and months again to find the time to shoot the missing scenes (the introduction basically). It took me quite a long time too to get used to the editing software and understand how to improve the lighting, the colors, the encoding and all...

I know it is not perfect, I am just an amateur, but we are quite satisfied with the final rendering!

Thanks again to all the people who took part in the making of of this video, and thanks in advance to all of you who will be willing to SHARE it!

A little click is a big help ;)

 

"LET'S GONNA TAKE CONTROL

MAKE IT ROCK, MAKE IT ROLL

PEOPLE"

The lyrics are quite simple.
I am aware that it is not totally idiomatic but:

1. We are French and
2. It has a good rhythm in it.

Akouphën's 2nd album: "ΣLΣVΣN"

It's got (almost) nothing to do with derby, but I cannot just go on as if nothing had happened:

I'm glad to announce you that my band's second album is out today. That's the way it had to be: ΣLΣVΣN was meant to be released on the 11.11.11.

The title stands for lots of things, the most obvious being that we're in 2011 and that it's the 11th anniversary of the band.

At first Akouphën was a crew intermixing different artistic fields, but as time went by it focused on music. I joined the band in 2005, we made a good bunch of concerts and we issued our first album "Face.A" in 2007 with Ozore Age/Pias. A great first step which I was very proud of, although I was aware that our sound was still a bit young and needed to mature.

I left that very year because I had to move for skating reasons, and I dedicated the next couple of years to my Freestyle Skating career. I put an end to it in 2010 -- switching to derby, and going back to my second passion: music.
