I forgot to tell you: mr Diagonal’s Scotch hit Tartan Dinosaurs was a finalist in the 2023 Great American Song Contest. (which gives me the right to use this fancy sticker on my website)

Having completely forgotten, I entered the 2024 contest with the same song and got a ‘special mention’ in the ‘special category’. Which is pretty pretty damn…special.

Mr Diagonal proudly presents North Pacific (a desert island disk).

3 years in the making, it’s available in 3 formats on bandcamp and in my shop: CD, digital download and message in a bottle.

North Pacific (a desert island disc) is a subtropical mutation of chanson anglaise, filtered through a diagonal prism to create a fractured, playful pop.
With his trusty shipmates Yannick Dupont (Moog, percussion) and Quentin Manfroy (bass, bass flute), and guest string quartet In Praise of Folly we share mr Diagonal’s maritime adventures: his squalls and sunny spells, his shipwrecks, the highs and lows of desert island life, his attempts at maritime carpentry, his manioc intoxications.
Perhaps the first belgo-scottish desert island disc, North Pacific is a maritime mirage in full-screen stereo, a summer soundtrack for drifters and dreamers.
