Zoë Keating – Into The Trees

http://magiska.vlsweb.net.br/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/cover-400x400.jpg

http://music.zoekeating.com

http://www.myspace.com/zoecello

Origine du Groupe : North America

Style : Neo-Classic , Experimental , Ambient , Instrumental Cello

Sortie : 2010



Zoë Keating est une époustouflante artiste canadienne. Musicienne de grand talent, elle pratique le (les pourrait-on dire) violon(s) de manière fantastique. A 38 ans, elle compte déjà bon nombre
de réalisations et collaborations prestigieuses. Elle évoluait au sein de la formation rock-violon Rasputina de 2002 à 2006. Zoë a accompagné sur scène des artistes aussi divers que  Mark
Isham, Curt Smith, DJ Shadow, Paolo Nutini ou encore les Dresden Dolls. D’ailleurs, Amanda Palmer est tellement fan des prestations de l’artiste canadienne, qu’elle lui a proposé de collaborer à
son album solo Who Killed Amanda Palmer et d’assurer la plupart des premières parties de sa tournée 2008.  On retrouve aussi le nom de Zoë Keating au travers de nombreuses bandes sons
cinématographiques. Ses premières réalisations solo, auto-produites connaissent à chaque fois un beau succès de vente en ligne plaçant 4 fois l’artiste dans les meilleures ventes iTunes de
musiques classiques et électroniques.



Into The Trees devrait plaire tout autant que les précédentes réalisations. L’album charme l’auditeur de façon instantanée. Déjà, les prouesses techniques de la violoniste y sont, comme toujours,
remarquables. L’atmosphère aérienne liée aux boucles et juxtapositions des différentes pistes de violons envoûtent et créent une ambiance presque épique. On croirait entendre un orchestre entier
alors que c’est une seule et même personne, véritable techno-magicienne, qui produit tout cela. Il y a une belle élégance dans cette musique minimaliste et hypnotique.

Kronos Quartet - Floodplain

Origine du Groupe : North America

Style : Experimental , Alternative , Nu-Classic

Sortie : 2009






It feels like a bit of a cheat to kick off a review by quoting someone else, but this particular quote is rather apt. David Harrington, the Kronos' artistic director and founder, once said,
''I've always wanted the string quartet to be vital, and energetic, and alive, and cool, and not afraid to kick ass… But it has to be expressive of life. To tell the story with grace and humour
and depth''. With Floodplain, the Kronos Quartet has done all the above. Once again, they've pushed boundaries to produce a disc that stretches, excites and inspires the senses.



The album title refers to the fertile, flood-prone strips of land bordering rivers. The idea is that floodplains experience new life after the catastrophe of flooding, just as cultures that
undergo great difficulty will experience creative fertility. Certainly, the countries represented here, from the Middle East, South Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe, have all endured more than
their fair share of hardship, and the music frequently reflects this. Emotion is at its most raw; one senses anger, sorrow and wounds not yet healed, and this is certainly true for the disc’s two
newly commissioned works. The first of these, the edgy, unsettled Tashweesh, is by the Palestinian hip hop group, Ramallah Underground, who David Harrington discovered through myspaceIran. The
second, Serbian composer Aleksandra Vrebalovs ''…hold me, neighbor, in this storm… '', is a dignified, contemplative hymn that whips itself up into an angry, whirling climactic frenzy. There are
also traditional arrangements of works from Lebanon, Turkey and Iran, contemporary interpretations of classical music from Azerbaijan and India, and popular music from 1940s Egypt and 1970s Iraq.
The quartet are joined in a hauntingly beautiful performance of the Azerbaijani folkloric love song, Getme, Getme, by one of Azerbaijan's most celebrated performers of the country’s
improvisational mugham singing, Alim Qasimov, and his ensemble.



Full marks to the Kronos Quartet for championing countries more known in the West for their instability than for their rich musical cultures. It’s the vibrant musical performances though,
saturated with humanity, pathos and soul, which give this disc its edge.
