Schoolboy
Schoolboy is a concept album telling in a non-linear way my own years as a bullied boy. From early years until the age of 15-16, I was severely bullied for being different. Emotional scars of bullying never completely disappear.
With this album I revisited this period of my life, in an attempt of empowering and facing a demon that still haunts me.
Release: September 15, 2022

You Cannot Enter The Disco
Written, recorded and produced in summer of 2017, You Cannot Enter The Disco is an electronic dance album with a synth pop music feel. Following My Name is Claude’s signature existential approach to both life and music, the work is more complex than its form initially suggests. The album tells a non-linear story of a form of “enlightenment.” It opens with “Down the Road,” a song about a place where a so-called “lower” part of society goes to sadly dance together, and closes with “Give Me the Eyes,” about deep understanding of what lies beneath the real concept of being.
“You Cannot Enter The Disco is an album about the feeling of “not fitting” in the world. It is also an invitation to not try to fit but instead to turn towards a community of people that are like you."
– Claude Ferland Milewski
Release: January 19, 2018

Dream Boat Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
“Dream Boat was a dream project. As a musician, to enter the deep and touching universe of director Tristan Ferland Milewski was to enter a world of consummate inspiration. Through this album I have unified everything I have ever done; piano, orchestra, electronic and techno are present here. All I know and all I love could be explored and utilised in the making of this soundtrack, forming a bridge between my past work to the two new works that immediately follow: You Cannot Enter The Disco, and Can’t Cheat. The tracks are presented in chronological order as they occur in the film, allowing us to “see” the movie in our heads as we listen.”
