KUNDERA

Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.

IN LOVE WITH... ALINA ORLOVA

2010-04-06T05:45:00.000-07:00

I am listening to his music for a long time and I never been tired of it, a Russian girlfriend introduced me to this angelic voice a few years ago, I never stopped. The concert in this small room was simply beautiful, it takes guts, just perfect. Alina has a natural charm that leaves no one indifferent. Between songs, where she is singing with a lovely smille, she is like a child rubbing his hands on her little dress, like shy. That's the beauty surely. The end came to fast, I wanted to go with her. I hope we will meet again.

A GREAT DYLAN'S BIOGRAPHY

2010-02-01T04:05:00.000-08:00

I have read a lots o book about Dylan's life but that one i definitely my favorite. After the Chronicles which are more a series of passages of his life rather romanticized. Dylan's book start in when he arrive to New York, neglecting his youth which is nevertheless a key passage of the creation of what he later called Bob Dylan. With a nice style François Bon try to explain us why he pursues us, fascinates us. from the begining in Hibbing, his first girl friend, guitar, harmonica, lead us to New York to learn how this little man with tousled hair, a false voice and a head full of song will gradually seduce an audience initially cautious... I was affraid to learn a kind of truth about Dylan...

“It’s really important to consider your environment, because you’re literally collaborating with nature while you’re recording. That’s why I’ve never recorded in a super controlled environment like a professional recording studio. I don’t think it’s respectful to exclude the rest of the world. For example, I was recording a song for this last record and while I was playing a fly landed on my nose. That changed the the cadence, the vibration, the emotiveness– the entire song. I want to be able to collaborate with the unknown. That’s our job.”

LITHUANIAN ANGEL VOICE- ALINA ORLOVA

2009-10-13T07:06:00.000-07:00

Only 20-year old, but brillant. Talented, Alina Orlova has already lived several lives. She first started to paint before moving on the music in 2006. Following the internet noise and waving on some trendy and lucky people, Alina's celebrity is growing day by day. His voice is perfectly associated to her piano. Singing, playing piano, wrtiting text and music Alina Orlava created her own universe, mingled with her native language (Lithuanian), but also russian and English. Currently very popular in east europe countries, she infuses her cosmic voice close to east europe folklore but on the whoel definitely new. Her second album

Laukinis šuo dingo (Wild dog drifter)

is a rare beauty. We never tired of listening loop short songs that make up the album.

The question is why French people did not invit her for concert like they did in England, we want Alina without going to the trendy places of Vilnius. Bring her to france.

The electric side of the poet against folk purists. He started the first chord, a guy in the back of the smoky hall shouted out « Judas ». Another chord, then an answer: « I don’t beleive you, you’re a liar », screaming to the band: « play it fucking loud ». Times were changing.
