He didn't need any prodding and trained classically into his mid teens.Then, music sort of drifted into the background. During his adult life, however, he never really lost touch with the piano,improvising a tune here and there in a bar or a lounge, wherever his world travels would take him.
With his wife Pilar, Serge has now settled along the river of his dreams in British Columbia where he fly fishes for steelhead trout and composes music on his german Grand. He also stages occasional concerts.
During long hours of meditation along the banks of the river-he says-"I finally discovered who I really am and what is really important to me. Sometimes it takes a long long time..."
"Impromptu by the River" is his first CD. Most of the twelve tracks are wonderfully sensitive improvisations, performed while his eyes swept over the River. 'Of Loons and Cuckoos' takes the listener to a lonely misty lake in British Columbia. Serge fishes while loons cry hauntingly in the distance. A flashback takes him to the lake of his childhood in France where his Dad taught him to fish, where Cuckoos would call out from a deep majestic forest of oak trees. Then, again, the pianist drifts forward in time to the canadian lake where loons sing the blues...
