Musician
You are currently listening to my solo experimental music project. I am doing everything on that (vocals, piano, sequencers, beat boxes, effets, etc, etc) which basically means that this music can not be reproduced live. It's a side project I work on when I have the time just for the sake of creating something. It is usually considered as ''soundtrack music'' and that's all good with me. I am not writing anything new right now but I plan on doing so in the next few months. I'll update with new songs as soon as I have some. For now, feel free to download and share!
About my music
Solo project from Montreal, Quebec. Penelope Jolicoeur blends voices, piano and electronic sounds to create a digital sensual world.

REVIEW:
Electromancer - Review Panel Rating
(about Deus Ex Machina - Ambient Mix)
This track is very different to the other version on her page. Where that one is all Tori Amos squeals and piano forte type electro. This is more Aphex Twin influenced. It could almost be one of his remixes.(If he was having a quiet Sunday afternoon mood).
It starts off all moody with creepy sampled vox and low keys. The beats and general feel could even be something from early Global Communication. Its not a track to grab and shake you, the aim is to pull you in slowly for the deadly kiss (grrr). Ahem,anyway, its very understated but effective.
I was interested to see that another of the lovely Penelope's tunes is featured on a TV show, because that's exactly where this would sound best. Or I could see it fitting into a film like Donnie Darko.Or ... some other creepy type dark film.
Lâchez-moi avec Facebook. Je reste sur myspace pis je coule avec le bateau. Ça fait 6 qui me parlent de Facebook cette semaine. Le plus drôle que j'ai entendu c'est: "ouin, mais il n'y a plus beaucoup de monde qui me fait des commentaires sur myspace, donc je suis allé sur Facebook." Ouin bin c'est peut-être parce qu'il n'y a plus personne qui veut te parler aussi. Anyway, je pense qu'il y en a qui s'en va sur Facebook parce qu'ils sont frustrés que leur compteur d'amis a diminué en fin de semaine passée.
malheureusement, je dois prendre ça relax. J'abuse des bonnes choses depuis mercredi dernier et mon porte-feuilles manque de feuille à l'intérieur. Donc je ne penserais pas être parmi vous. Désolé.
en gros de mon bord, jai un audition demain matin, si j'ai le rôle, jsuis en tournage samedi, fak jpourrais faire la grosse débauche... Sinon, jsuis super partant!
yoann exagere un peu, anouk c la queen des 5 étoiles, pis moi je suis capable de faire des touns à expert. Mais je suis bloqué au dernier niveau, à l'osti de toun de pulp fiction! ;p
Je n'ai pas trouvé ça si pire que ça. Ce n'est pas le film du siècle, mais je n'avais vraiment aucune attente envers ce film parce que c'était une décision de dernière minute d'y aller. C'est un film avec vraiment aucun budget donc ils ne pouvaient peut-être pas
