REMIXED by TOURNESOL BAND

Tournesol Band takes its name from Maison Tournesol where most of the members live as part of the international L'Arche community supporting adults with developmental disabilities. It started when I was asked to give drum lessons to Joël who already could lay down an infectious rock beat. Soon Martin started showing up at lessons, sitting in on keyboard and vocals, and so the band was born. We began learning tunes by Joël's favourite group KISS, performing them at L'Arche community events. Sylvain joined the band which then moved away from playing other people's music and into improvising and creating original music. These remixes combine tracks from each member that were recorded separately while they all played together. Editing their parts into new combinations helps to define, refine and redefine Tournesol Band's unique sound.
