C\u2019est devenu le bazar, ce blog. J\u2019essaie de retrouver un rythme r\u00e9gulier de publication.<\/em>
This blog has become a mess. I’m trying to get back to a regular rhythm of posting.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Nous sommes all\u00e9s chez Esther \u00e9couter Kara Nub\u00e9, un duo form\u00e9 par Veronika Warkentin et Jean-Pierre Sarzier.<\/a> Tous deux ont une exp\u00e9rience musicale solide et vari\u00e9e\u00a0! Bon, comment \u00e9crire<\/em> sur quelque chose qui s\u2019\u00e9coute<\/em>\u00a0? Admirer tout de suite la complicit\u00e9 \u00e9vidente des deux artistes. M\u00eame si certains chanteurs comptent joliment le \u00ab\u00a0un deux trois\u00a0\u00bb, Jean-Pierre et Veronika s\u2019en dispensent, tout est dans le regard. Cela semble couler de source, cela semble naturel et d\u00e9tendu. Et si c\u2019est vraiment le cas, c\u2019est \u00e0 cause de tout ce travail pr\u00e9alable, consid\u00e9rable, mais qu\u2019on ne voit pas. Tous deux ont une grande ma\u00eetrise de leur art.<\/strong>
We went to Esther to listen to Kara Nub\u00e9, a duo formed by Veronika Warkentin and Jean-Pierre Sarzier.<\/a> Both have a solid and varied musical background! Well, how do you write<\/em> about something that can be listened<\/em> to? Immediately admire the obvious complicity of the two artists. Even if some singers count the \u00ab\u00a0one two three\u00a0\u00bb nicely, Jean-Pierre and Veronika dispense with it, it’s all in the look. It seems to flow naturally, it feels natural and relaxed. And if this is really the case, it is because of all this preliminary work, considerable, but which we do not see. Both have a great mastery of their art.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Veronika joue parfois de ce tambour, le daf, aussi de la shruti-box, mais la belle fl\u00fbte dont j\u2019ai oubli\u00e9 le nom a refus\u00e9 de sonner ce soir – les instruments sont tellement sensibles \u00e0 l\u2019hygrom\u00e9trie et \u00e0 la chaleur\u00a0! Veronika a surtout chant\u00e9, sa voix est vraiment tr\u00e8s belle. Le r\u00e9pertoire, ce sont des chants traditionnels du monde<\/a>, surtout Moyen-Orient, musique grecque, des Balkans et d\u2019Am\u00e9rique latine.<\/strong>
Veronika sometimes plays this drum, the \u00ab\u00a0daf\u00a0\u00bb, also the shruti-box, but the beautiful flute whose name I forget refused to sound tonight – the instruments are so sensitive to humidity and heat! Veronika mostly sang, her voice is really beautiful. The repertoire is traditional songs from around the world<\/a>, especially the Middle East, Greek music, the Balkans and Latin America.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Il y a en m\u00eame temps une forte unit\u00e9 de style \u2014 leur marque de fabrique me semble facile \u00e0 identifier \u2014 et une grande diversit\u00e9 dans le jeu des instruments. Le jeu de Jean-Pierre est nuanc\u00e9 au point\u2026 qu\u2019on croit entendre une guitare basse quand il joue de la clarinette basse. Il adapte le volume sonore selon si Veronika chante en m\u00eame temps\u00a0: la voix est parfaitement audible et le texte accessible \u00e0 ceux qui connaissent la langue utilis\u00e9e. Et si c\u2019est un instrumental, Jean-Pierre donne plus de volume dans un jeu extr\u00eamement nuanc\u00e9. Sa ma\u00eetrise des instruments m\u2019a \u00e9poustoufl\u00e9e\u00a0! <\/strong>
There is at the same time a strong unity of style \u2013 their trademark seems easy to identify to me \u2013 and a great diversity in the playing of the instruments. Jean-Pierre’s playing is nuanced to the point… that you think you hear a bass guitar when he plays the bass clarinet. He adapts the sound volume depending on whether Veronika is singing at the same time: the voice is perfectly audible and the text accessible to those who know the language used. And if it’s an instrumental, Jean-Pierre gives more volume in an extremely nuanced game. His mastery of the instruments blew me away!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Pour jouer de cet instrument de bambou – faut-il l\u2019appeler fl\u00fbte ou clarinette\u00a0? – il pratique la respiration circulaire, cette technique permettant de souffler sans arr\u00eat (il n\u2019y a pas de r\u00e9serve d\u2019air comme dans la cornemuse\u00a0!), d\u00e9j\u00e0 difficile. Et en plus, il tire de ce petit tube tout simple des sonorit\u00e9s incroyables.<\/strong>
To play this bamboo instrument – should it be called flute or clarinet? – he practices circular breathing, this technique allowing him to blow without stopping (there is no reserve of air like in the bagpipes!), already difficult. And what’s more, he draws incredible sounds from this simple little tube.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Je disais difficile d\u2019\u00e9crire<\/em> sur quelque chose qui s\u2019\u00e9coute<\/em>, j\u2019ai encore plus de mal \u00e0 parler de Veronika\u00a0! C\u2019est un plaisir de l\u2019\u00e9couter, de la regarder. J\u2019ai particuli\u00e8rement aim\u00e9 son adaptation de la chanson de Brel, \u00ab\u00a0ne me quitte pas\u00a0\u00bb<\/a>, traduite en italien. Ne chante pas Brel qui veut, elle a pris possession de ce texte-l\u00e0 et nous donne une superbe chanson.<\/strong>
En cliquant ici ou l\u00e0 sur le texte en bleu, vous acc\u00e9derez \u00e0 des enregistrements sur youtube. Peut-\u00eatre en trouverez-vous d\u2019autres.<\/strong>
I said hard to write<\/em> about something that can be listened<\/em> to, I have even more trouble talking about Veronika! It is a pleasure to listen to her, to watch her. I particularly liked her adaptation of Brel’s song, \u00ab\u00a0ne me quitte pas\u00a0\u00bb<\/a>, translated into Italian. Not everyone can sing Brel, she took possession of this text and gives us a superb song.<\/span><\/strong>

Fred Garcia, lui, est tout seul sur sc\u00e8ne mais fait semblant du contraire\u00a0: il interpelle des musiciens fameux dont il utilise en boucle quelques fragments enregistr\u00e9s. Je crois qu\u2019il adapte ce nouveau spectacle o\u00f9 il est seul, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent ils \u00e9taient plusieurs. Je suis toujours un peu \u00e9tonn\u00e9e de l\u2019aisance des artistes sur sc\u00e8ne, la qualit\u00e9 de leurs improvisations demandant une grande ma\u00eetrise technique.<\/strong>
Fred Garcia, on the other hand, is alone on stage but pretends to the contrary: he calls out to famous musicians from whom he uses a few recorded fragments on a loop. I think he is adapting this new show where he is alone, until now there were several of them. I am always a little surprised by the ease of the artists on stage, the quality of their improvisations requiring great technical mastery.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Fred est auteur compositeur interpr\u00e8te. Il propose ses histoires chant\u00e9es, des chansons latino swing, ou d\u2019autres styles\u2026 Valse ou jazz sont aussi ses musique de pr\u00e9dilection. <\/strong>
Au premier rang, Nanath est aux anges, la bossa nova \u00e7a lui parle, il chante dans un registre qu\u2019elle conna\u00eet bien et aime beaucoup. Fred est tr\u00e8s dr\u00f4le, cabotin juste ce qu\u2019il faut. C\u2019est tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent comme soir\u00e9e, on est plut\u00f4t entre copains. Jean-Pierre et Chantal sont l\u00e0, qui constituent Souffle de Brume avec Fred\u00a0: allez sur le site<\/a> de ce dernier, il vous en parle.<\/strong>
Fred is a singer-songwriter. He offers his sung stories, Latin swing songs, or other styles… Waltz or jazz are also his favorite music.<\/span><\/strong>
In the front row, Nanath is in heaven, bossa nova speaks to her, he sings in a register that she knows well and likes a lot. Fred is very funny, playboy just right. It’s very different as an evening, we’re more among friends. Jean-Pierre and Chantal are there, who constitute Souffle de Brume with Fred: go to the latter’s site<\/a>, he tells you about it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Veronika , Jean-Pierre, Fred\u2026 Un point commun entre ces artistes si diff\u00e9rents, c\u2019est leur passion pour leur art. Tous les trois en ont fait leur m\u00e9tier. Nous venons de traverser une p\u00e9riode pendant laquelle on voulait nous faire croire qu\u2019on pouvait se passer de cette passion, que l\u2019on soit public ou artiste.<\/strong>
Veronika, Jean-Pierre, Fred\u2026 A common point between these very different artists is their passion for their art. All three have made it their profession. We have just gone through a period during which they wanted us to believe that we could do without this passion, whether we are public or artist.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Un autre passionn\u00e9, avec un parcours radicalement diff\u00e9rent, c\u2019est Patrick Mazellier<\/a>. Dans les ann\u00e9es 70 Paul l\u2019avait rencontr\u00e9 dans un groupe de musique trad\u2019. Jacques et P\u00e4ivi nous ont invit\u00e9s \u00e0 aller l\u2019\u00e9couter en conf\u00e9rence. En plus d\u2019\u00eatre violoniste, il est chercheur en ethnomusicologie, si si \u00e7a existe\u00a0! Il propose \u00ab\u00a0une approche des pratiques violoneuses en Dauphin\u00e9, Vivarais, Savoie\u00a0: du violon au chant \u00e0 danser, du rigodon \u00e0 la bourr\u00e9e\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>. Autant dire que c\u2019est pointu. Autant avouer que ce fut une soir\u00e9e trop sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e pour moi qui n\u2019ai pas les connaissances de Mazellier. Il a fait un travail consid\u00e9rable de collectage aupr\u00e8s des musiciens traditionnels, le plus souvent \u00e2g\u00e9s, que la radio a fait dispara\u00eetre. Mazellier nous parle des relations entre les rythmes moteurs des danses et le jeu d\u2019archet.<\/em> Et \u00e0 chaque fois, il prend son violon et nous fait une d\u00e9monstration. Et \u00e0 chaque fois, il joue avec aisance quelque chose de tr\u00e8s difficile. <\/strong>
Another enthusiast, with a radically different background, is Patrick Mazellier<\/a>. In the 70s Paul had met him in a traditional music group. Jacques and P\u00e4ivi invited us to go and listen to him at a conference. In addition to being a violinist, he is a researcher in ethnomusicology, yes, that exists! He offers \u00ab\u00a0an approach to violin practices in Dauphin\u00e9, Vivarais, Savoie: from violin to song to dance, from \u201crigodon\u201d to \u201cbourr\u00e9e\u201d\u00a0\u00bb.<\/em> Suffice to say, it’s sharp. As much to admit that it was an evening too specialized for me which does not have the knowledge of Mazellier. He has done a considerable job of collecting from traditional musicians, most often elderly, whom the radio has made disappear. Mazellier tells us about the relationship between the motor rhythms of dances and bowing<\/em>. And each time, he takes his violin and gives us a demonstration. And each time, he plays something very difficult with ease.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Pour savoir o\u00f9 situer le plus gros de ses recherches, tracez une ligne d\u2019est en ouest qui part de Savoie (un peu de Haute-Savoie) et traverse le nord de la Dr\u00f4me et celui de l\u2019Ard\u00e8che. <\/strong>
To know where to locate the major part of his research, draw a line from east to west that starts from Savoie (a bit of Haute-Savoie) and crosses the north of Dr\u00f4me and that of Ard\u00e8che.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

L\u2019Ard\u00e8che, j\u2019y suis n\u00e9e, j\u2019y ai v\u00e9cu vingt ans, et mes parents m\u2019ont souvent racont\u00e9 leurs difficult\u00e9s dans les r\u00e9gions montagneuses et arri\u00e9r\u00e9es. \u00c0 une m\u00eame \u00e9poque, on pouvait donc rencontrer des brutes ignorantes et des violoneux virtuoses\u00a0: ce contraste me donne un autre regard sur cette belle r\u00e9gion rest\u00e9e longtemps \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cart. Je ne garderai pas de souvenir de la conf\u00e9rence trop technique de Patrick Mazellier, mais il me laisse une tr\u00e8s bonne impression par cette ouverture sur le pass\u00e9, et cela, je ne l\u2019oublie pas.<\/strong>
Ard\u00e8che, I was born there, I lived there for twenty years, and my parents often told me about their difficulties in the mountainous and backward regions. At the same time, we could therefore meet ignorant brutes and virtuoso fiddlers: this contrast gives me another look at this beautiful region that has long remained apart. I will not remember Patrick Mazellier’s overly technical conference, but he left a very good impression on me with this openness to the past, and that I will not forget.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Et moi je chante\u2026<\/strong>
C\u2019est par le plus grand des hasards qu\u2019on a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 faire de la musique avec Jacques et P\u00e4ivi, cela fait maintenant plus d\u2019un an. L\u2019habitude est prise, et Paul et moi r\u00e9ussissons \u00e0 avoir notre moment de musique \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s chaque jour.<\/strong>
J\u2019ai pris des cours particuliers de chant de fa\u00e7on r\u00e9guli\u00e8re pendant quatre ans et demi, apr\u00e8s quoi j\u2019ai laiss\u00e9 tomber, puis je me suis remise \u00e0 chanter. Je ne sais pas si je mets en pratique ce que j\u2019ai appris, je sais que chanter est devenu un engagement, quelque chose d\u2019ais\u00e9 et de difficile en m\u00eame temps. <\/strong>
Chanter c\u2019est se jeter \u00e0 l\u2019eau<\/strong>
c\u2019est faire une travers\u00e9e<\/strong>
c\u2019est prendre un risque<\/strong>
c\u2019est l\u00e2cher tous ses rep\u00e8res\u2026<\/strong>
And I sing…<\/span><\/strong>
It’s by chance that we started making music with Jacques and P\u00e4ivi, it’s been over a year now. The habit is taken, and Paul and I manage to have our moment of music almost every day.<\/span><\/strong>
I took private singing lessons on a regular basis for four and a half years, after which I gave up and then started singing again. I don’t know if I put into practice what I learned, I know that singing has become a commitment, something easy and difficult at the same time.<\/span><\/strong>
To sing is to jump into the water<\/span><\/strong>
it\u2019s to make a crossing<\/span><\/strong>
it’s taking a risk<\/span><\/strong>
it’s letting go of all your bearings…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
