The pleasure of realizing for the first time that you love a song; the joy of recognizing the voice of Niagara’s singer; at seven, a fascination with Michael Jackson’s all-leather-and-metal look, and later with Ashley MacIsaac’s swagger. Music has punctuated Marc-Antoine K. Phaneuf’s life with joy. Doesn’t Nietzsche’s famous maxim say that “Without music, life would be a mistake”?
A curious child turned interested, a passionate teenager turned obsessed, the artist-writer developed an inextinguishable thirst for musical discovery at a very early age. Here, Marc-Antoine K. Phaneuf retraces that journey and revisits the encounters that shaped him. The tracks follow one another, binding together the colors of this self-portrait-as-inventory: an ecce homo like one great playlist.
