French musician who had been studying economics in the late sixties, but decided to enter the music conservatory instead, to learn the drums and the use of the illustrious “ondes Martenot,” a primitive electronic musical instrument. He composed a few solo numbers, remarkable for their use of that instrument. Looking for someone to write lyrics to go with his instrumental tracks, he asked Bruno Leys to try a few. Bruno and Emmanuel thereby put together a small repertoire, with no ambition other than to have fun.
