Memento Mori - Rock progressif, Autoproduction et Delirium

Currently listening to: Anathema “Alternative 4″

Alternative 4… An emotionnal masterpiece which has always made me drown into the depths of my soul. There are a lot of different kinds of energy and strength in music as you know and we can feel a very strong energy from this album even if it’s painfully sad, it’s so deep and sincere that you can’t feel unchanged. Well, I can’t. It’s still the words I have in my mind and emotions I have in my heart I guess. Everything in its right place. I love everything on this album, from the absolutely beautiful prelude called “Shroud Of False” to the awkward sound and production, from the lyrics to the Cavanagh’s voice to the simplicity of some parts. Everything speak too me. I don’t remember when I have bought this opus nor how I dicovered it but it’s a real gift, even if it hurts.

Ok some light now because I guess you’re about to leave this place I have spent the afternoon cleaning up my home-studio. Listening loudly to Opeth “Still Life” vinyl and first albums of Judas Priest. I know now that we can make tremble even stone walls with music, listen loudly to “The Moor”, how it’s fantastic.
So it gave me strenght to clean everything, dust is one of the worst enemy in a studio. And I have make some changes to welcome my new toys. I wait for a 88 notes masterkeyboard from Dresden, Germany. The Fatar TMK-88 which will allow me to feel more at ease for composing with piano sounds and I wait for this for a long time. It’s funny (I mean it makes me smile but you probably don’t find any joke here) but it’s like we can’t find the end of the keyboard on this picture, I hope that we don’t need of 2 meters arms.
Anyway, I’m about to order a fantastic logiciel that I have discovered for rythms because I’ll need it for composing as well for my acoustic project. Because I think that I will add some soft electronic beats in it. I need to try. Oh and I think I found a name for this project but I’m doing some search about it as seen as it’s not so original but I like the meaning and it’s the good reflection of the birth of this “thing”.

Peace and love. Or emotions at least.

And let’s end up this entry with those beautiful lyrics from D. Cavanagh (Anathema)

We can learn on the official website that the drum parts of the new Pain Of Salvation’s album had been done. It took only five days, it lets me dreamy.

The recording has been done in a studio in Sweden but not in the Daniel Gildenlöw’s one. I hope that some day we’ll see some pictures of his den. It makes me thing that I have to change some stuffs in my own studio, in order to work and compose easily, and feel at ease… It’s the least that I can do those days seen as I’m ill. I hope it won’t last too long. I can’t breath. I miss her.

Je ne peux m’empêcher d’en parler car hier était un jour historique mais peu de gens le savent Aux alentours de 22h, le terme le terme de “rock progressif” a été employé sur M6, premier exploit, et second exploit, dans “la Nouvelle Star”. Enfin second exploit, quand on sait la présence du grand Manu Katché, il ne faut pas s’étonner, rappelons qu’il a notamment joué sur des albums de Peter Gabriel, Tori Amos, Joe Satriani ou Tears For Fears et même le dernier Genesis (Edit: N’importe quoi! Petit absence de ma part, j’ai confondu avec Nick D’Virgilio mais c’était pour voir si vous suiviez ;)). Bref, on pouvait s’attendre à ce que cela vienne de lui puisqu’on note quand même une tendance bien heureuse de sa part à essayer de parler de ce qui n’est pas forcément grand public. Et donc, il a abordé le truc par rapport à une reprise d’une cadidate, “Bohemian Rhapsody” de Queen. Il fallait oser me direz-vous. Ca a plu à Manu Katché qui disait avoir aimé la grandiloquence et le côté théâtral du truc comme dans “ce qu’on appelle le rock progressif avec des groupes comme Genesis”. Et voilà, un pas de plus est franchi Ca n’a aucune valeur pour le commun des mortels mais ça m’a fait plaisir mais si je ne rêve pas de voir passer Marillion dans le Hit Machine, entendons-nous bien.

I have watched some excerpts of the James Blunt’s dvd. I confess that what he does speaks to me somehow. Even if his songs are on heavy rotation everywhere. The live version of “Goodbye My Lover” is impressive, there’s not a lot of choice, or you hate it, you find him too ridiculous or you just cry by empathy. I can’t even think find that ridiculous. Surely because I have already been ridiculous and creepy.
