Liam Roudil

An outstanding musician and very close friend, I was lucky to play for a while with Liam in the band Esling, alongside Rémi Bouguennec, Daravan Souvanna, Raphaël Chevé and myself. Today he puts his talent at the service of internationally renowned musicians such as Ryan Young or Calum Stewart. His more recent work with the Rennes-based band Talea is also well worth a listen. The series accompanying this portrait illustrates those long evenings of playing music, laughing and having a drink with a team of outstanding musicians and close friends.

“You may have wondered: why did he stick a Guinness poster on my photo?

I didn't paste a scan, I drew it pixel by pixel in Photoshop, using the method I used on my Oric 1 in 1983: I made my drawing on graph paper, then entered lines of 0 and 1 data, the way I saw them in screen memory.”
