Jul Dans L'rs3

On this second album by the unorthodox quartet comprised of Norwegians Grydeland, Wallumrød and Zach, and Frenchman Charles, the music continues to unfold with poetic logic and unhurried pace. To paraphrase La Monte Young, Dans les arbres draws a straight line and follows it. Their music moves gently but steadily ahead on broad planes of sound, the textural scenery changing as DLA harnesses its wealth of unorthodox extended techniques. Including but not limited to: Charles’ extraordinary control of harmonics, the prepared piano of Wallumrød perfectly matched by the prepared banjo of Grydeland and by Zach’s unprecedented use of the gran cassa, the horizontal orchestral bass drum, augmented here by metal percussion and ceramic bells. Small movements precipitate gradual sonic transformations. Sounds are carefully nurtured and encouraged to glow. Responsibilities are very equally shared as textures are blended.

Julie Zenatti fait partie de ces artistes discrets, peu médiatisé, mais pourtant on ne peut plus talentueux. Elle nous livre aussi son deuxième album, qui est ce qu'on pourrait appeler la continuité de son premier album, FRAGILE. La voix cristalline de cette grande chanteuse vous transporte tout au long des pages du disques, que ce soit dans des ballades très douces, ou sur des chansons plus "chaloupées"(comme le dit Julie). Le son est superbe, on l'impression d'être parfois dans un concert "piano-voix", mais pour les amateurs de guitares, rassurez-vous, vous en trouverez plein l'album.

This French-Canadian group is from the Northern-Ontario province where almost half the population is francophone. CANO stands for Cooperative Artistes du Nouvel Ontario and they were based in the city of Sudbury. Formed as far back as 71, and from an ideal semi-hippy-pastoral commune and developing into theater, poetry, writers, and a whole bunch of artisans/craftsmen and a 320 acres Buffalo ranch. This commune attracted people from all over Northern Ontario, Quebec, Acadians from Eastern Canada. One of the branches became the musical group, and recorded in late 75 their debut album after being together for over three years.
Their music exemplifies best the Northern Canadian Pioneering spirit, and lyrically, the songs often make reference to the harsh condition they and their ancestor endured…

John Eliot Gardiner has proved himself a doughty champion of the later French Baroque, cultivating credible performing methods and unearthing undeservedly neglected repertoire. These nine CDs offer both rich musical rewards and an insight into developing approaches to interpretation. The earliest repertoire in the set is the volume of Francois Couperin's 'apotheoses' of Lully and Corelli, a sensual and programmatic feast in which this charmingly didactic composer attempts to reconcile the best of French and Italian taste.

Avec sa voix douce et solide, ses musiques riches et accrocheuses, la jeune auteure - compositrice- interprète québécoise de 20 ans impressionne par sa maturité et sa finesse. Le pied dans ma bulle est son premier album. Il regroupe 11 chansons inspirées par ce qui l'entoure : la vie, l'amour, le passage au monde adulte. Elle signe l'ensemble des textes et la musique et s'est entourée de musiciens chevronnés, Toby Gendron (Éric Lapointe, Florent Vollant, Luce Dufault, Jean Leloup) et Sylvain Michel, pour peaufiner les mélodies, les arrangements et la réalisation.
