December 18, 2025 - Songe elevated to international benchmark status
An international audiophile test in Malaysia cites Songe among the absolute benchmark albums, alongside iconic recordings byAnne-Sophie Mutter andAndré Previn with the London Symphony Orchestra.
The album is used to evaluate the Audiovector R10 Arreté, a pair of high-end Danish speakers (approximately $165,000 USD per pair). The reviewer describes Songe as a first-rate audiophile recording, natural and deeply human.
This recognition positions Songe as an exceptional recording, here as elsewhere.
Vincent Bélanger & Jay Lee
The meeting between Vincent Bélanger and Jay Lee, creator of the YouTube channel Jay's Iyagi, was born from a shared passion: the search for an authentic sound and the quest for an uncompromising listening experience. As a musical ambassador for Audio Note, Vincent has appeared in several videos alongside Jay, offering an artist's perspective on the subtleties of high fidelity. Their natural complicity and genuine friendship shine through in every exchange, creating an immediate connection with the audiophile community.
In November 2024, their collaboration took a more personal turn during a remarkable podcast, viewed thousands of times, where Vincent shared his journey as a musician and audiophile, the mission of VBMP (Vincent Bélanger Musique et Productions), and a frank critique of the current state of music production. He also revealed the essence of his Songe project and his vision of music rooted in raw emotion and sonic honesty.
This conversation deeply resonated with Jay, reconnecting him to his own roots: grandson of one of South Korea's great music producers, himself trained in mastering, Jay decided to dive back into the world of sound engineering and artistic production. This return to his roots led him to become actively involved in Songe as Executive Producer and Artistic Director, assuming responsibility for preserving the project's sonic and artistic integrity.
Together, Vincent and Jay have built a unique dialogue where musical tradition meets sound innovation, united by a common requirement: that the music touches the heart, without artifice.
