Whatâs the musical project?
âMuzak...â -> associated concepts: "musique dâameublement" (Eric Satie); elevator music; ambient; sound design, easy-listeningâ¦
â...meets popâ -> pop songs as musical haikus.
â...on computerâ -> a dumb computer + dilettantism can produce "something" (sometimes)

Profession de foi : les Garçons Joufflus wants to beâ¦
- the musical wall-paper of your living room (le papier peint musical de votre salon)
- the tunes of your imaginary road trip (les chansons de votre voyage imaginaire en voiture)
- the soundtrack of your mind movie (la bande-son de votre film intérieur)
- the radio jingles of your daily schedule (les jingles radio de votre emploi du temps quotidien)
- the small melody that stays in your head all day (la petite mélodie qui reste dans votre tête toute la journée)
- the soundscape of your wild escapes (le paysage sonore de vos échappées sauvages)
- the frenzied rhythm of your morning shower dance (le rythme endiablé de votre danse du matin sous la douche)
