Before you continue to mention the interesting projects which I had the chance to participate, I must correct a mistake in a previous blog written ("a lot of things to tell"). Vingtrinier Thomas, owner of Studio Sequenza, has indeed found that I did not carry with it the Studio Sequenza. I am, after investigation, a partner ... I use when I work in investment and common properties including: Neve, the Fazioli concert grand piano (which I found to Jean Michel, the great tuner , through a chance conversation at a meeting with Eric Watson Studio The Foundry), the monitoring system (headphones, speakers ...) and various investments accessories. This abuse of language was probably due to a surge of heart which sometimes makes me lose control of my vocabulary.
finally corrected this error, I suggest you continue to discuss the meetings and other projects that inform my life as a sound engineer.
- Renaud Millet Lacombe, former assistant and now his (very) brilliant sound engineer in Geneva, asked me to record and mix the disk group (André Bachleda And The Technicolor Orchestra) where he is organist today (because it is more musical). A pop / rock elegant, with Andrew, the singer, composed the melodies and sensitive distinguished. I finished mixes a month ago but we'll probably go back on one or two titles in July to refine.
- I started the next drive Bojan Z, a new group composed of a trombonist New Yorkers, a bassist and a drummer English. I was impressed by what I saw and heard. A punk rock bassist and a drummer furious, minting and ideas miraculous. I will return to this ongoing project and will explain a few things about microphones "overwhelmed". We recorded in Studio de Meudon, beautifully hosted by Bernard, big boss tuner and this cozy place. We even enjoy the cuisine (Bernard in the kitchen) at a dinner to remember. Thank you for your welcome, Bernard. In it you feel at home.
- I'm leaving two or three days in Istanbul to record a project I co-directed with Smadj (my old friend). This is the trio Smadj, Eric Truffaz and Talvin Singh ... yum!
I go in extremis, just returning from the Festival of Coutances, where I'll be recording the live (with my partner Michael) of another group BojanZ with Julien Lourau and Karim Ziad. I must admit that I love doing this job when I used to sequence projects in different locations and with great musicians.
- The single "Sunshine" that I I recorded through my collaboration with William Balde (recorded in part at the Studio for Vega Warner) returns to promos on Energy. Future summer hit? In any case, the ambition of the record label ... I'm not used to but I'm happy for William.
- I went to Rochefort save the project from the trio of my friend Emile Biyenda, percussionist (drums Brazza leader) with whom I had left Kinshasa save Kolosoy Wendo and his band during a memorable trip. The studio made me think of Crystal Studio Gimmick, which I was associated with an era. Francis, engineer and dynamic boss welcomed me with heart and skill. This guy is a madman, a true lover of music, amazing and brilliant electronics, able to fix everything with a smile and patience. A beautiful meeting more.
Before a break, I will mention the mixes for Zig Zag, recording brilliantly saved by Frank Jaffré, works of composer Zelenka (a contemporary of Handel). Again the Nagra 4S made the difference ... You know I ride a collection within this fine label. We received one morning my friend Jean Paul Celea (big, huge bass). I wanted to present Frank. Future discs to come, I am particularly pleased that the evening I Kamilya Jubran presented to him which I begin the drive in July. I return to this project that probably will open the collection. Frank and I were beaming at the end of busy day. I take this opportunity to once again, remember that my meeting with Frank and the team Zig Zag is one of the best matches of my life (in fact, 5000 sales of Bach Coltrane in a month, not bad. ..).
Next time, I shall outline the future of Duoud mixes, the album Mukta I enjoyed mixing, the future disk Minino Garay for September, the future King of New disk clarinet (eh eh eh), the recording of the quartet of Diego Imbert and my neighbor project as a director with the group LoJo!
What happiness! "
