The primary desire behind the creation of Oiseau de nuit was to borrow from the codes of hip-hop production, without falling into the trap of a stylistic exercise. Interested in further exploring the sound collage technique he toyed with on his previous album, PISSENLIT, Corriveau acquired a vast vinyl record collection, with the aim of making a sampling album. Alas, he quickly felt cramped in this format and decided to create custom samples, by inviting many musicians to jam in his studio: Stphane Bergeron (drums and co-production), Marc-Andr Landry (bass), Simon Angell (guitar, saxophone), Sheenah Ko, Franois Lafontaine (synths), Cherry Lena, VioleTT Pi, Rose Perron (vocals), Taurey Butler (piano), veline Grgoire-Rousseau (harp), Pietro Amato (French horn), milie Fortin (trumpet), Kalun Leung (trombone), Laurie Torres (piano), Mat Vezio (drums) and Ariel Comtois (saxophone). The energy of these jams imploded the boundaries of his songs, where melodies that flirt with R&B rub shoulders with epic lyrics delivered breathlessly.
