Aleksi Campagne - When I close my Eyes

1. When I Close My Eyes / Quand je ferme les yeux
When I Close My Eyes, I can’t help but think of my late mentor, Didier Lockwood, because of how integral the looping is to the structure of the song. Didier was a legendary jazz violin player known for having mastered the loop station as a virtuosic violinist. He was actually a violin child prodigy and a student of Stephane Grapelli (Django Reinhardt’s violin player). Didier quickly made a name for himself with electric violin playing jazz fusion with his involvement in the experimental band Magma. He had such a unique style and whenever I’d see him play live, I couldn't help but think that was exactly how the violin was intended to be played.
