Simple Acoustic Gutar Songs

Learn how to play guitar by just playing your favorite songs.

Des compositions pop teintées d’électro et de musique classique, où se côtoient voix de tête, bruits rythmiques glanés dans la nature et cordes soignées. Un choeur exceptionnel de 24 enfants. Magique et onirique. Une église désaffectée. Lieu abandonné et isolé, d’où émane pourtant une mystérieuse présence. Dans cet antre à l’histoire sacrée, un homme seul et froid, coupé du monde, revit ses rêves jaunis, ses amours perdus, ses joies fortes et fugaces. Il les chante, jusqu’à entendre autour de lui un orchestre, profane dans cet endroit mystique, ranimer son passé qu’il croyait enterré. Rêve-t-il ? Le nouveau projet d’essence électropop-classique d’Ollivier Leroy raconte cette atmosphère onirique et mystique. Servi par l’unique et magique voix de tête de l’artiste, il se place dans la continuité de l’essai musical « Contréo » créé en 2010. Mais l’univers sonore, cette fois plus moderne, fait résonance à ceux des Islandais de Sigur Rós ou à certains titres des Anglais de Radiohead.

Simple Minds revisits some of its biggest hits of the 1980s acoustically on this collection, featuring guest KT Tunstall on the lead single "Promised You A Miracle". The reimagined songs span the band's eclectic and illustrious career and sound more organic in these stripped down versions. The synths are no more but the Celtic soul remains.

“Having travelled across Australia many, many times I always remember the miles in a car or truck or bus the fondest because I always had music on in the background to help paint the pictures of the landscape on my way through or had a set of headphones on in a greyhound bus heading to some musical adventure that I organised. These songs represent movement in wherever you go, you can always have music with you. So, whether you’re in a car just about to start a six-hour drive, or you are an interstate truck driver about to do a lot of miles, or you’ve simply just got a caravan on the back of your car and you’re driving until you feel like pulling over somewhere to take in a part of this incredible country, this album is perfect! This collection of songs played in a simple acoustic manner, some of them with my daughter, can help paint the picture while you are making your own memories out on the road somewhere, or you could be sitting at home dreaming up where to go next. I hope these songs give you some ideas of where to take those dreams. Please enjoy 50 Songs 50 Towns.”
