Paris, 18 e arrondissement, close to the fleas and the door of Clignancourt. At the bottom of a dead end, a large black portal. Sébastien Tellier receives us in his apartment, a few weeks after leaving a new EP, Symphonic. A space it finds suitable for dialing with a piano, guitars and big speakers.

The 47-year-old singer evokes his childhood in a pavillonnaire zone of Val-d’Oise, the Sundays spent listening to Pink Floyd with his father, passionate guitar, and to eat at Wimpy, a fast food chain , his admiration for axl pink, George Michael and the melodies of the 1980s, his slow transformation into an artist, his discovery of the clip Sexy Boy of Air , the composition of the ritournelle, its distrust towards the brime, its obsession with the clothing and its ease to write touching agreements:” if I put myself there at the piano, what comes out of me, it’s a trick of emotion but not any emotion: the dream, the nostalgia, the envy of elsewhere, the doubts … it’s my nature Musicale. “

For three seasons and now every week, the producer Géraldine Sarratia questions the construction and the meanders of a personality. Whether they are creators, artists, cooks or intellectuals, all convene their childhood memories, all evoke the social and cultural dimension of building a corpus of tastes, a set of values.
