Another edition of the TV5 Monde music show Acoustic at the weekend, and a particularly strong edition of the program with a session by Cascadeur.
Songs included Walker, from his last album The Human Octopus, and Ghost Surfer from his most recent release of the same name that came out earlier this year.
There's something very surreal about seeing him performing in full crash helmet. Somehow you presume the "masked performer" is the reserve of the metal/rock scene, whether Slipknot, Kiss or Alice Cooper.
It certainly adds a stange and otherworldly quality to his rather sensitive piano-driven work.
The helmet and the Mexican wrestler masks suggest something confrontational and aggressive, it couldn't be more of a illusion.
