Walter

Hi, my name is Walter Jean-Jacques. I'm 17 years old and from Newark, NJ. The time I have spent in Provence has enabled me to become more open-minded by offering me settings where I am able to clear my mind and just think. The chance to travel to the top of various hills and mountains of places such as Lacoste, has caused me to tap a part of my brain that has been enclosed. The thoughts that I have had here inspire me to make my own music. The various new sounds that I make with my alto sax have been heavily influenced by the diverse sounds of nature here, especially the hissing sound of the cigale at the heat of the day. This experience of living in Provence has helped me to understand the true meaning of just letting nature take control of your mind.
