One night, after a set by my “Way of the Groove” band at Washington, D.C.’s jazz club, Blues Alley, the owner, Harry Schnipper approached me excitedly and exclaimed, “I finally figured out what this music is: it’s mad scientist music and you’re Dr. Frankenstein!” The tune that had him most worked up was a small group version of The Misinformation Age which I adapted for big band for this recording. I like the idea of my office (where I write) being my mad scientist’s laboratory where I’m creating things that will eventually have a life of their own…things that some might find strange, unusual, or possibly even monstrous…though hopefully most find to be fun and exciting. Some of the ideas on this recording are among the most complicated I’ve ever put to paper, so I thought this title worked pretty well. Of course the real fun happens when I get to leave my evil lair and make music with my good friends, who just happen to be some of the best large-ensemble jazz musicians on the planet.

Claire Moreau, aka Claire days, is a French indie artist who writes songs since she can write and sings since pre-school. At 10, she discovered simultaneously classical guitar and the punk rock-hard rock CD section at the library – and that was the beginning of a musical journey through soft and rough textures, acoustic and electric sounds. After graduating in economic, technical and editorial translation, Claire decided it was time she did what she truly loved: music. In 2022, she released her first album Emotional Territory coproduced with English artist Fink, followed by experimental pop EP À l’ombre in 2023 – 6 songs in French recorded at home with indie musician Ugo Del Rosso.

This is the question at the heart of Secret, the duo’s debut album—or at least, that’s what the music seems to suggest. If sound is an extension of ourselves, it can also become a character we shape. The main character of Secret isn’t visible to the human eye, and yet they give off an androgynous and timeless energy, rooted in multiple languages and spaces. As the album unfolds, we sense the fusion of two distinct energies combined into a single, composite being. This constantly shifting, blurred identity comes to life in the album’s profusion of genres: club music, ambient, chanson, trip-hop, UK garage, and tech house. The tracks stretch and contract, following the trajectory of a dual voice.

It features my original compositions for piano and orchestra, and I’ve interspersed snippets of my favourite soul classics throughout the record as palette cleansers. I’ve always said that my soul icons such as Stevie Wonder and Etta James were my earliest teachers, and on this album, I’m pleased to merge my early influences with my signature classical-soul style.
