Krister Mild his a renowned Swedish ornithologist. He proposes in this CD beautiful bird songs recorded in Sweden, where he lives, and in the neighbouring Nordic countries. Certain of these choruses sound different from those of Western Europe: it could be that mixed in with them are Nordic species that we don’t know well, such as Redwing, or more simply perhaps, birds with which we are familiar have a different “dialect” over there!

Together, Bottlang and Querlier are 'masters of time', they speak, confer and, arm in arm, follow the path they have laid out. Going further still than pure respiration, playing, dancing and joy, Querlier and Bottling's various journeys make one stop and think. Could this return to nature be a sign of rebirth, a call to life ?

“The publication of the natural sounds of Jurassic dinosaurs in the quite serious collection of biological recordings published by Fremeaux & Associes may at first sight appear to be a little ridiculous to the public and to the specialised press. Nonetheless, the natural sound recorder Jean-Luc Herelle has put together the sounds of the Iguanodon and the Tyrannosaurus in a Giant Sequoia forest during the early Jurassic (a period going back some 200 million years). The creation and production of this sound material is based on recent scientific findings, on the relationship between dinosaurs and today’s birds and dinosaur replicas produced by paleontologists using much that has been discovered about dinosaurs since the 19th century. A real insight into prehistoric sounds.” Patrick Fremeaux. English version

What best example could one have of the art of Abdullah Ibrahim than this Autobiography " The pianist regarded at the time as his more beautiful concert solo? As the title of the disc indicates it, it is all the history, the culture, the meetings and the interrogations of the musician which ravel in this extraordinary voyage. Ibrahim jumps of a topic, an air, a melody to another like one dodges the water puddle pools, without any rupture in the continuity and the logic of his musical thought. One has the impression that, inside himself, he reconstituted, reorganized, recomposed by preserving all his culture and his evolution since his childhood: musics and popular songs. South-African, entertaining (dance, festival) like functional (anthems, steps) which rythm life, American black jazz, European classical music... All that produced a perfectly built and coherent musical mixture. Never, in spite of the abundance of parts which are followed, there is the impression of a juxtaposition, a joining. No piece " is retracted " to pass to the following, all have their place, their function, their role and their significance in the architecture of this large fresco. They are sand-gravel mix surges which thunder, powerful waves which roll, coloured sparks which burst, aggregates of notes touffus, or time of calm meditations, tender and deep melodies, the nostalgic calls followed by abrupt resolutions, of the dreams of hope, the songs repeated... One collects oneself then, after some steps, one is carried by the dance... almost frighten before peace does settle and the harmony finally reigns. Let us follow while reading them the titles of the pieces while they are played, notice as all are connected and intersected naturally, listen how an harmonic and rhythmic expansion very marked announces a typical anthem which itself is transformed into standard of jazz! Let us discover how Ellington and Monk are completely absorbed and returned with a different breathing.
