In addition he also took part in the Transworld project (using the alias John Diksou), who released the single The Makers of Music in 1979. Following his departure from Ange in 1995, Francis Decamps devoted himslf to write material for other artists, directing a number of projects and composing music for short movies. A few more solo albums managed to sneak in too, A Vous Mes Voyageurs in 1995 and Hommage a Roger Comte in 1997, the latter the most recent production of his solo career. In 2006 Francis' activities as a composer for other artists eventually lead to him hooking up with a band again on a permanent basis. The artist in question one Jean-Philippe Suzan.
