A few days later, Virtual Jam Session should have found its place in the Eyes Dreams album, since it was finalized while the album was being rendered.

With Virtual Jam Session, I approached another genre much more jazzy, a tall order. I remember that at the time I was with my friend Vivien at the Liège Jazz Festival and that we used to hang out on Friday evenings at the Piano Bar La Notte in the Carré de Liège. These outings offered me to hear other sounds, another way of approaching music and I liked to see pianists lose their fingers on the keys of their piano.

Chance, I then came across a « little Sound Tracking course » in one of my PC Team magazines where we explored in detail how Thomas Petersen, known under the pseudonym Laxity, builds jazzy tracks there. I then tried to reproduce the lines of codes displayed in the magazine to understand how to position my fingers on my own synth and play jazzy chords … the sequences then giving this title that I dreamed of playing in our group Virtual Music.

Alongside these magical chords, there is this completely crazy bass playing … it is more than likely that the influence of Alain Rinallo who accompanied us then had given me to build a game rounder than habit. Finally I was inspired by the Fusion rhythm of my Roland E68 Synth.
