Aloes D’eden From Positive Grooves Album
As I reflect on my song “Aloes d’Eden,” I’m reminded of the different music styles that inspired its creation. Drawing from my experience with Latin jazz and progressive rock, I wanted to create a unique sound that blended these influences together.
I wrote this song specifically for my quartet while living in Montreal. The bass line provides a melodic foundation that drives the music forward. The central theme is typical of Latin jazz, but as the song progresses, it evolves into an authentic progressive rock style with a groovy 7/4 vamp.
The song is featured on my album “Positive Grooves,” which is mostly made up of themes from my jazz era. Compared to some of my other work, the guitar sound on this album is softer and less distorted, creating a mellow and relaxed atmosphere.
As an artist, it’s important to me to create unique and authentic music to my personal style. “Aloes d’Eden” represents my passion for blending different genres together to create something new and exciting. I hope that listeners can appreciate the different elements of this song and enjoy the experience of discovering new sounds and styles.

I used two different Strats for this particular song, each with its unique sound and setup.
The first Stratocaster featured three Belcat hot rail ceramic pickups, which I plugged into a micro synth stompbox from EHX and a compressor, Cathedral reverb (room setting), and a bit of delay from the Time Force pedal by NUX. I used this guitar for the lead and main solos, and its sound was distinct and powerful.

The second Stratocaster featured three lipstick pickups and a Graph Tech Acousti-Phonic Kit. In this song, I only used the acoustic sound, which I plugged directly into the sound card with a touch of reverb. This guitar provided a softer and more delicate sound that complemented the other Strat’s more aggressive tone.
As always, I performed the bass line with my Squier VI bass, which has become a staple of my recordings. I used the plugin EZdrummer for the drum part, which provided a solid foundation for the other instruments to build upon.
