Chassol talks Funny How? — his stand-up comedy-inspired album — cold-audience songwriting, and building a sound from nothing but a feeling. Magz FM got the real conversation.
Christophe Chassol didn’t set out to make a comedy album — he set out to hear what comedy actually sounds like. In this conversation with Magz FM, Chassol traces his ear back to how he first learned to hear music, and carries that same listening practice into Funny How?, his stand-up-inspired fifth album built from real routines and comedians talking about their craft.
He gets specific about what makes a joke musical — the rhythm of a punchline, the timing that makes something land — and how that translates into his “ultrascore” method of scoring reality itself. He also breaks down staying in sync with a film without watching it, working purely from sound and feel rather than the picture. It’s a rare look at how Chassol builds his signature sound from raw human material.
