New video : Sparkle - Your Name

Dear Patrons,

Finally a new music video, from one of my favorite theme : Sparkle from the movie Your Name, written by Radwimps.
Hope you'll appreciate the care we put in this cover.
I kept the format very simple, as to present our new artistic direction, style and of course the new Grissinis.

Very soon we'll be back to our regular posting format and habits.
There is options on Patreon that allows me to host video directly on the platform, which will allow me to rele...

(Very) Long time no see

Dear Patrons,

I have so much to tell you!
But let's start with this first.

I'd like also to thank you eternally for supporting us, despite the channel hasn't been active for a while.
Future is ahead and I really hope you'll enjoy what I prepared for it.

Cheers,
Romain / Grissini

3 DAYS LEFT TO GET OUR ATTACK ON TITAN ALBUM! !

Dear Everyone !

We're finally entering the last rush to our crowdfunding campaign for our Attack on Titan symphonic album. 

It has been quite a tumultuous journey but I'm happy we managed to get through and to put a conclusion to this campaign.
As you might have noticed, we raised a significantly smaller amount compared to our Kickstarter.
It was expected, as the Kickstarter was cancelled and the hype around our Attack on Titan videos faded a bit.
In case you're no...

The campaign is back!

But on Indiegogo, at this link : https://bit.ly/requiemgrissini

Despite the law being on our side, fighting against the DMCA notice we received on Kickstarter isn't a possibility : we don't have enough time and financial resources to face the biggest Japanese music major. It would take years in a very expensive international court process, even if w...

Today, Grissini Project is turning 13 years old.

Ironically, the first video I posted was also a Requiem.

Despite the complete silent, be sure I’m fighting nails and teeth against the takedown of the Kickstarter.
The DMCA we received is abusive.
I’ll get into details later in a full, properly written video.
Lack of mechanical rights is mentioned in the DMCA notice, which is straight-down terrifying, as it enlightens how even the biggest right owners don’t understand such common licensing scheme.
Cover artists are se...

ATTACK ON TITAN - REQUIEM / Grissini Project Orchestra

Dear Patroners,

Long time no see.
Such a loud silence for almost 1 year.
Today I present you the reason of the silence. A very loud reason.
A dream and by far the biggest video production ever for the Grissini.
Pretty sure I reached the roof this time. 

The video in itself is also quite a little miracle of an happening, combining luck and shining talents I was lucky to be surrounded with.
A few people to present you as well! 

I have a lot of stories...

D-7 👀

So much to tell you...
Soon!

Long time no see. Where's your money going?

Dear Patrons.

It's been so long.
It's been silent.

Which rhymes, unexpectedly, with excessive amount of work and not much time taking a break.

For a few months now I've also been completely re-working the Grissini Project, the logistic, workflow, release strategy, business model, administration and I paused every video release and project (except one).
As you maybe know since I explained it already sometimes: there is quite a few change in the internet environment for ...

MAKING OF! Ezio's Family - Assassin's Creed // GRISSINI PROJECT

Dear Grissinis,

Making of! :)
I'm hoping it'll give you more context on how we produced this video, which was quite ambitious and came with a lot of problematic situations.
Everything was filmed in two days but the whole post-production process took a solid two years.
We had to deal with various problems and how to tackle it. Our capacity to handle problems is to my perception, what makes the difference between a fail and a video that'll make sense.

At first, the so...

Early Access : Ezio's Family - Assassin's Creed

Dear Patrons,

After 2 years of an endless wait, here it is.
Early access exclusively for our Patrons!

I'm very excited to present you this Assassin's Creed video after teasing it so much. It was definitely a long road with a lot of suspense and various accidents, leading to delays and challenges to make this video a convincing reality. 

Today, this video exists. She'll be published publicly next Monday.
I could keep talking and complaining forever about algorithm...

Soon 👀?...

Dear Grissinis

Biggest video ever incoming soon, most likely December!
Lot of concerts as well, going to Mexico for a concert tour tomorrow.
Working on the vinyls shipments from the Indiegogo campaign, so far 300 Vinyls packed. Planning to ship everything at once but clearly underestimated the amount of time it would take. I have two people regularly helping me for the task.
Probably collector packs will be shipped in January to avoid typical post losses during christmas time...

Early access video : Spirited Away - Dragon Boy // Grissini Project

Dear Patrons,

Dragon boy!
Time to get to serious music. This one was definitely a huge challenge.
Scary, epic and majestic, all at the same time. Spirited Away is quite a Ghibli classic. I'm hoping you'll enjoy our rendition of this beautiful piece!

Cheers,
Grissini

Early access video : Ponyo - Mother of the Sea (score video) // Grissini Project

Dear Patrons!

Very happy to let you discover the score of this musical gem.
It's a very classical piece, it reminds me a lot of Ravel colors in Daphnis and Chloe.
Score as usual available on musicnotes, -50% with the coupon code you can find in the pin posts on our Patreon page!

Cheers!
Grissini

Early access video : Ponyo - Mother of the Sea // Grissini Project

Ponyo has such an incredibly underrated OST!...
I found this shinning place, hidden gem of the High Coast of Sweden. Golden hour and Swedish summer vibes.
Couldn't fit the song more!

Cheers!
Grissini

Dear Grissinis!

We're back! :)
Now posting the remaining music videos from the Ghibli Album.

Also working on upcoming concerts in France, Mexico and a special secret project for 2023 that I hope will happen...

This video was filmed as three sequence shot, have fun finding the cuts! :)
Incredibly sweet theme from Kiki's Delivery Service, hope you'll enjoy...

Grissini Summer Update!

Dear Patrons,

Hope you're all doing great and I hope you're all having a lovely summer, whether you are having holidays with your beloved ones or by yourself working hard.

As you probably noticed the Patreon was rather silent this summer.
I thought I would keep posting this summer but I changed my mind and decided to pause the videos and social media posting. I also decided to take my first ever holidays of my 12 years professional life. Mindblowing experience in the norther...

Early Access Video : Ponyo - Deep Sea Ranch (score video) - Grissini Project

Dear Grissinis,

I’m posting early because it is midsummer’s day today in Sweden, taking the afternoon away in Stockholm archipelago after a full day of visit in Stockholm for a secret project, hopefully end of this year… 🧐

Glad midsummar alla! 😁

Skål 🥰 !

Early access video : Ponyo - Deep Sea Ranch // Grissini Project

Dear Grissinis!

Somewhere on the Swedish high coast, on a very peaceful evening, facing the Skuleskogen national park mountains. We filmed this little bubble of poetry that Hisaishi wrote for Ponyo.

The place was so serene and calm, you could hear the sound of the birds wings piercing the breeze. A few cottage housses or ''stugor'' around us, couldn't dare to make a noise!

You might notice I'm not pressing the piano keys entirely, neither Bastien and Marwane are pushing on t...

UPDATE! Vinyls, Indiegogo, health, new musicians, concerts...

Dear Grissinis!

Patreon was down earlier so I'm a bit late to the video publication but here it is!  
Video update! Quite a few subjects tackled, vinyls, Indiegogo, health, new musicians, concerts... Let's talk!

Cheers,
Grissini

Early Access Video: Nahoko, I miss you - The Wind Rises // Grissini Project (with score)

Dear Grissini, Dear Patrons! 

Back to the score videos :) I have quite a few to post, currently preparing the 3 Attack on Titan videos score version, probably for this summer! I will probably avoid posting completely fresh content during the summer since a lot of people are on vacations, metrics are going down. Same with January, YouTuber's life! 

I'm currently in Stockholm visiting ABBA studio and rehearsing for Toulouse and Rouffach concerts on the 22 and 23rd of July!...

Early Access Video: Nahoko, I miss you - The Wind Rises

Dear Grissinis,

Back to business!
I've been a bit silent for the past weeks: as usual it means we've been pretty busy with recordings, filming, and setting up the future of the Grissini :)
We have now the capacity to reach very regular posting and approximately 1 video per week.
I really wanted to fix the workflow and the ''posting logistic'' before really starting.
I have quite a few news and I think I'll make a video about it in the coming weeks. Quite a lot of things to t...

Early Access Video: Attack on Titan - Akuma no Ko

Dear Patrons,

It's time to say goodbye to Attack on Titan. This will be our last SnK video, featuring the very last ending theme of this epic TV show who marked a whole generation.
It's actually Japanese rap! We keep exploring and trying new things so I hope you'll like! It was quite a challenge of a crossover.

I'm maintaining YouTube video posts pace and I'll post the score videos for the 3 Attack on Titan videos in the coming weeks.
I must catch back on social media pos...

Early Access Video: Attack on Titan (SnK) - T-KT // GRISSINI PROJECT

Dear Patrons,

Time to celebrate more Attack on Titan before the final blast of this epic show! Which will most likely come to an end on the 3rd of April after airing for 10 years. 

This songs recall of the moment the Survey corps discover the sea for the first time, with those longing chords at the beginning, going back and forth in the strings, like the waves...

REMINDER! For those who took part on our Patreon special offer for the Ghibli Album, be sure to upda...
