Caro Tricote

An imaginative fantasy from the creators of Delicatessen, where a prematurely aging mad scientist named Krank kidnaps children so he can steal their dreams. However, Krank runs into trouble when his henchmen grab Denrée, a little boy whose adopted brother, One, is a circus strongman. One desperately tries to find Denrée and begs for help from Miette, a 9-year-old girl who heads up a gang of orphans. Together, One and Miette finally find Krank's castle, meeting along the way the lost identical brother -the original- of the three clones who serve as Krank's assistants.

Sobre una plataforma marina perdida en la niebla, más allá del viejo campo de minas, el malvado Krank envejece prematuramente pues le falta una dimensión esencial: la facultad de soñar. Es por esto que rapta a los niños de la ciudad a fin de robarles sus sueños. Está acompañado de algunos compañeros de infortunio: Irvin, un cerebro que se encuentra en un liquido transparente dentro de un acuario; la señorita Bismuth y una banda de clónicos. Al otro lado de la niebla, en la ciudad portuaria, se encuentra One, una fuerza de la naturaleza, ingenuo y terriblemente valiente, que busca a Denre, su hermano pequeño desaparecido.

Krank, un étrange personnage vit entouré de clones et d'autres personnages encore plus étranges sur une plate-forme en mer perdue dans le brouillard. Krank, doit, pour ne pas vieillir trop vite, voler les rêves des enfants. C'est pour cela qu'il les enléve de la cité portuaire.

Grandmono proudly presents our new EP in collaboration with the Metropole Orchestra; MO x Caro Emerald by Grandmono. The EP has been recorded entirely with vintage studio equipment at Electric Monkey Studio in Amsterdam. Part of the sound is rare mixing desk previously owned by Ennio Morricone. Not a coincidence, the sound of the EP is inspired by 60’s cinema – combining the lush sound of the very skilled Metropole Orkest (you don’t win Grammy’s for nothing) and the smokey, warm sound of what we do. Reminiscence of lush orchestras, Italian cinema, French soundtracks, even some exotica – it’s all there. The result is exquisite if we may say so ourselves, but you be the judge of that.

The Caro-Kann Defence has a well-deserved and established reputation as an incredibly solid and, at the same time, dynamic defence to 1 e4. The Caro-Kann appeals to all types of players, but is especially useful to Black players who prefer a sound platform on which to build and who are resourceful in both defence and counter-attack. Star players who enjoy using the Caro-Kann include Vishy Anand, Michael Adams and the legendary Anatoly Karpov. In this easy-to-read guide, Grandmaster Joe Gallagher goes back to the basics of the Caro-Kann, studying the key principles of its many variations. Throughout the book there is an abundance of notes, tips, warnings, and exercises to help improving players, while important strategies, ideas, and tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated.

2012 marked the end of a recording pause for Caro Josee. After several years away from the industry, her reappearance with the appropriately titled “Turning Point” convinced her listening audience and surprised the media. The album presented songs with substance taken from the world of a woman in the midst of life. Expressive sounds reflecting her strength, maturity and self-assurance put the icing on the cake. The reward for a work deeply rooted in Gypsy Jazz was an ECHO JAZZ award for “Vocalist of the Year, National”.
