Verba - Musique

Biographie ---------- Automne 1991 Naufragés Volontaires Deux Jeunes Compositeurs Signent Un Pacte D'alliance Par Le Biais Singulier D'une Rencontre Aléatoire. Les Effets Sont Immédiats Découverte De L'alter Ego Envie Pressante De Voir Fusionner Et Prospérer Ces Inspirations Jumelles Et Pourtant Distinctes. Au Fil Des Compositions La Collaboration Porte Ses Fruits Pour Aboutir À La Naissance Du Premier Album Auto-Produit Panorama 94-96. Cet Objet Hétéroclite Contient Déjà Les Ingrédients Sensibles Et Technologiques Qui Vont Poser Les Bases De Toutes Les Créations D'Ab Ovo À Venir. Les Images Récurrentes Sont Déjà Là Introspection En Accord Mineur Silence Musical Bruitisme Pudique Au Service De La Recherche Mélodique. En 1998 Strates Deuxième Opus Aborde Un Tournant Plus Incisif Tout Aussi Intimiste Mais Plus Affirmé Engagé Comme Si À La Croisée Des Chemins De L'electronica Un Doigt Pointait La Direction À Suivre... Cet Album Retranscrit Aussi Les Multiples Influences Glanées Par Le Duo Tant Sur Le Plan Expérimental Que Sur Les Dance-Floors Irradiés. Troisième Millénaire... C'est En 2000 Qu'Ab Ovo Accouche De Triode Album Aux Contours Acérés À La Fois Plus Introspectif Et Surtout Sans Concessions. Certains Déplorent L'aspect Plus " Abrasif " De Cet Album Mais Sa Coloration Définitivement "sombre " Et " Dure " Représente Davantage Un Aboutissement Qu'un Changement De Cap Comme Si Ab Ovo Explorait Pleinement Toutes Les Facettes De Son Identité. La Reconnaissance D'un Certain Public Se Fait Plus Tangible De Nombreux Musiciens S'interessent De Près À Leur Travail. Un Grand " Chantier-Remixes " Est Alors Entrepris Et Quelques Sorciers De L'électronique Se Lancent Dans Le Traitement Intime Et Chirurgical Du Tissu De Leurs Compositions. Cette Expérience Concluante Déverrouille Certaines Barrières Conduit À Un Attrait Pour La Scène Jusqu'alors Intentionnellement Occultée. Le Résultat Est Probant La Sensation Live " Électrocute " Les Deux Protagonistes Chasse Tabous Et Fausses Convictions Pour Accéder À Une Nouvelle Maturité. Ab Ovo Travaille Sur L'énergie Sa Source Et Ses Vecteurs Pour Exprimer Plus Amplement Sa Vérité. En 2004 Débute L'aventure ANT-ZEN Dans Un Fourmillement D'idées De Projets Et De Rêves... Interview --------- VAlien You’re Active In Music Area More Then Decade But It Seems That Not Many People Know About Existence Of Ab Ovo Sound Universe. Please Tell Us Shortly From Where Did You Start And To What Sound Concept Did You Come Through The Years Of Creativity? Jerome We Started To Compose Music Very Young And Our First Self-Produced Two Albums Have Many Years Old Now...We Used To Distribute Them Ourselves And Maybe That's Why Their Diffusion Stayed So Confidential ! At The Beginning Ab Ovo Was Rather Influenced By The Neo-Classical Current Then The Explosion Of Techno Opened Several Other Ways To Our Both Inspirations. V Please Explain The Mood Of Nostalgy And Sadness In Your Music? J I Must Say That Your Atmospheric Approach Is Very Beautiful Sensitive And Deep… The Music Of Ab Ovo Is Nothing But The Reflect Of Our Vision Of The World...Of Ourselves Too ! Our Music Is Definitely Introspective. V You Often Use Rhythms In Your Tracks But They Never Dominate And Don’t Have Club Character. Were There Big Need To Place Them Into Composition? Did You Want To Provide Direction Or Extra-Dynamic To Songs By Using Them Or There Is Something Else? J Rhythms Give Us More Dynamism You See When You Share At A Cloud In The Sky If You Wanna Catch It You've Got To Run So Much To Rejoin It !...For Us Rythm Is Quite Like That. V What Is The Story Behind Your Appearance On Ant-Zen? Did You Easily Convince Stefan Alt To Release Your 2CD? How Do You Represent It – As Ambient Record? J Before Ant-Zen We Used To Produce Our Records Ourselves During A French Electronic Festival Where We Played I Met Stefan Alt. He Loved The Album And Proposed Us To Make It With Ant-Zen. To Define " Le Temps Suspendu..." I Would Just Say That's It's A Sincere Electronic Music Album! V Should We Consider “Le Temps Suspendu…” As Visual Soundtrack? If Yes What Image Raw Do You Personally Link With Ab Ovo Sounds? J Many People Tell Us That Our Music Is Very " Cinematographic " I Mean That They Can See A Lot Of Pictures Or Scenes In Their Mind. It Isn't So Intentional It's Just A Result...Our Way To Proceed Is Rather Instinctive But It Gives Us A Real Pleasure. Each Person Can Imagine What He Wants It Depends Of His Life And His Own Sensibility. V Is You Music Based On Electronica And Samples Only Or You Play Some Instruments? J We Both Play Classical Piano Since Our Childhood And We Compose Ourselves All Melodies. About Sampling I Would Say It's Only Some Kind Of " Sonic-Dressing " In Our Work. V Sea Sky Mountains… The Artwork Of Album Is Very Natural. The Same As The Music? Does It Reflect Your Characters? J Yes We Love Mother Earth...Natural Elements Are The Most Beautiful Things In The World. V How Did You Organize The Remix Collaboration To Prepare Second Cd “Rebuild”? J All These Remixes Are Made By Friends It Wasn't Difficult To Convince Them To Start Their Homework ! It's A Friendship Story And We' Re Very Proud Of Them And What They Realised For Us. V What Do You Like In Profession Of Musician? J Maybe This Permanent Opening On The World... V What Are You Interests In Music? Are You Active Listener/consumer Of Musical Cds/dvds? J We Are Listening And Then We Buy Some Lots Of Musics In Very Different Styles...Classical Liturgy Electro Ethnical Experimental... I Have All David Lynch's Dvds For Whom My Admiration Has No Limit! V Ab Ovo Consists Of Two Members. What Are Your Roles In Band? J Ab Ovo Are Two Musicians Who Are Creating And Composing For One From The Other Each On His Side...And They Join Their Works Under The Same Name. That's So Simple In Fact ! It' S Like An Echo Between Us. V Do You Work On Music Fast? Do You Prefer To Write Tracks At Night Or During A Day? J There Are Some Very Creative Phases Other Less... We' Re Composing Quite Always At Night. V Thanks A Lot For Interview. My Final Question Is Can You Predict What Kind Of Music Will Be Popular In Five Years? J Well...Our Music Of Course!
