A traditional / classic French song that captures the spirit of France. Plaisir d'amour (literally "The pleasure of love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-gide Martini (1741–1816); it took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–1794), which appears in his novel Clestine. We have this available as a Vocal version and an Instrumental version.

I grew up near La Rochelle in France and began as a rock guitar player in pub bands. Eventually I moved to Paris and worked in studios (mainly dance music or hip hop) as an arranger and co-composer.
I've studied Moroccan music and worked with the local musicians of Marakkecs. I've also travelled much to Africa and around Eastern European countries like Romania.
I now work for Shockwave-Sound, corporate video and documentaries, and sometimes as an attending or arranger composer. I'm also working on a pop album as composer, with a French record company.
I am a fan of Bruce Springsteen, Jonas Hellborg, Ravi Shankar, Bach, Terje Rypdal, AC/DC and David Gilmour. (a strange list, but I love music). I'm 45 years old, married with 3 children.
