The 40th Anniversary edition of the ADISQ Awards had Montréal’s Place des Arts hopping on Oct. 28, 2018. Three years after winning the Félix Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Philippe Brach walked away, this year, with the coveted Author or Composer of the Year for his album Le silence des troupeaux, as well as the trophy for Live Show of the Year – Singer-Songwriter. We spoke with Brach, in the media room backstage, about his creative process, and the relative importance of awards.
