Things never turn out quite as planned, and often our most good. Listening party my friends from the festival Duoud Africolor, I came across a first gig: a duo. A woman sings, accompanying herself on oud in a language I do not understand, a man plays electronics (samplers, computer, various pedals ....).
The vamp, an unfamiliar and magical emerges, poetry in its purest form! I let myself be surprised, I conquered, I am moved.I just met Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler. I go home, the music still ringing in me and I realized that anything could stop it.My friend Sarah Murcia happening at home two days later and handed me an audio cd "Listen, you really do something!". I do not listen to the disc but lets talk about the Palestinian friend with whom she plays sometimes. I realize she tells me about Kamilya Jubran, I told him the concert, we welcome this incredible chance and then ....I call my friend Frank Jaffré, which gave me a collection on the label Zig Zag, and I told him that the first draft. I do not even need to listen to the disc models, I know it will be magnificent.We'll save Kamilya playing solo (singing voice and at the same time of course) of songs whose texts were written by Arab poets alive. Words on space travel, meeting ....We decide to register with Sarah every day in a different place. We go to Grenoble, where we held with some valuable allies our five working days.I stayed with Frank and equipment: laptop in Pyramix, Prism converters, Nagra D and a lot of microphones (Brauner, Schoeps, DPA, mini dpa, Neuman M 150). Wehave successively worked in the concert hall of the Museum of Grenoble, in the vast hall of the MC2 at the Hexagon in the little church of St Blaise and .... in a field (Plateau Puech).Very nice experience to be changing every day, trying to better adapt to the acoustics in trying to capture the flavor while preserving the intimacy of this music and the subtle intentions Kamilya. I make new friends as this bird was meant in the song "Yaday" (the church) or the fly that landed a split second on the membrane of one of the microphones in " NaBD ", recorded in Nature. The result is very surprising and very beautiful ....I tried to record every song by creating three levels:- Proximity with a Brauner on voice and another on the oud, a mini CCA out of the oud and another on the front Kamilya a pair of Schoeps and Neumann M 150 even on the side. That's a lot but we are probably not everything but I prefer to provide as Kamilya with the first dose may be good- A pair of DPA 4041 to about 2 meters- A couple of M150 below, sometimes much further. Every dayKamilya waited patiently as we were finishing we install, ready to play the signal.Each day she gave us the beautiful music. Every day we were brilliant.
