ossory
Montreal in one continuous street, sung by two voices living on opposite sides of it, set to house and techno threaded with live jazz: moving day, the height by-law, a Parliament that burned, and a stadium paid off thirty years late — all wrapped around the two-word greeting, bonjour-hi, that the National Assembly once voted unanimously to discourage. The song closes on one quiet minute, machines out, for Little Burgundy.
Bonjour Hi
Style
Fast four-on-the-floor house and techno at 132 BPM with deep sub kick, sixteenth-note hats and a rolling analogue bassline, threaded by a live jazz trio of brushed kit, upright bass, muted trumpet and tenor sax, carried by alternating male (Quebec-French-accented) and female (Montreal anglophone) leads trading lines conversationally and landing in unison only on the two-word hook.
