Infusion Plutôt Que Fusion Egyptian Project Mêle Aux Sonorités Du Delta Du Nil De La Ville Du Caire Les Ambiances Du Trip-Hop De L’électro Du Hip-Hop Ou Bien De La Musique Classique. “Une Rencontre Fleuve Baignée D’effluves Orientaux Et D’exhalaisons Électroniques Minimales” Pour Un Voyage Vers Des Contrées Inexplorées... Yallah ! Un Courant Électro-Acoustique Qui Révèle Les Beautés De La Musique Des Bords Du Nil Et L’emmène Ailleurs Sur Des Terres Inexplorées. Le Fruit D’un Long Travail Entrepris Par Le Nantais Jérôme Ettinger. Il A Multiplié Pendant Dix Ans Les Expériences Musicales Au Long Cours En France Et En Égypte Les Résidences Et Les Rencontres Autour Des Instruments Traditionnels Égyptiens Rababa Percussions Violon Chant Et Kawala Et Des Musiques Assistées Par Ordinateur Et Suivi Son Apprentissage De L'arghûl Double Clarinette Égyptienne En Voie D'extinction Avec Le Maître Mostafa Abdel Aziz Musiciens Du Nil Mozart L’égyptien Peter Gabriel... . Qu’on Juge De La Difficulté Marier Aux Séquenceurs Les Rythmes Maqsoum Baladi Ou Ayoub Du Maître Percussionniste Ragab Sadek. Concilier Les Envolées Incroyables Du Chanteur Et Joueur De Kawala Sayed Emam Au Travail Vocal Contemporain De Jérôme Ettinger. Accorder Aux Ordinateurs Les Notes Du Célèbre Joueur De Rababa Et Violoniste Salama Metwally. Associer Aux Programmations Électroniques Les Subtilités De La Musique Modale Et Ses Irréductibles Quarts De Tons.-- More Of An Infusion Than A Fusion Egyptian Project Is The Result Of A Long And Committed Collaboration Between The Defenders Of Egyptian Tradition And A Young French Musician Who Mix The Sounds Of The Nile Delta And Cairo With The Ambiances Of Trip-Hop Electro Hip-Hop And Even Classical Music. “The Fluvial Meeting Of Oriental Fragrances And Minimalist Electronic Sounds” Makes For A Journey Into Unexplored Territories. One Can Only Dream Of Distant Times When Musicians Dancers And All Different Kinds Of Artists Lingered In The Neighborhoods And Cafés Of Cairo Awaiting Nightly Propositions To Perform At Parties Weddings Or Child Births. Its An Electronic-Acoustic Vibe That Reveals And Awakens The Beauty Of The Music Of The Nile Riverbanks And Carries Listeners To Far And Distant Lands. It's The Undertaking Of Jérôme Ettinger A Musician Without Borders And The Art Director Of The Project Lead By The Association Togezer. For Over 10 Years He Multiplied The Number Of Musical Experiments Artists Residencies And Meetings In France And In Egypt And Organized Many Educational Activities Around Traditional Egyptian Instruments Rababa Percussion Violin Singing And Kawala And Computer Made Music.
Jérôme While Immersing Himself In The Egyptian Culture Was Fostered By Jean Paul Romann A Sound Engineer For Tinariwen Lojo... During A Pre-Production And Recording Session. Rodolphe Gervais A Sound Engineer For Ray Charles Assassin Idir... Later Took Up The Recording And Mixing Of The Album At Studio Du Faune. One Can Only Imagine The Difficulty Conjoining Sequencers With The Maqsoum Baladi Or Ayoub Rhythms Of The Master Percussionist Ragab Sadek Conciliating The Incredible Outpourings Of Singer And Kawala Player Sayed Eman With The Contemporary Vocal Work Of Jérôme Ettinger Tuning The Notes Of The Famous Rababa Player And Violinist Salama Metwally With A Computer And Associating Electronic Programming With The Subtlety Of Modal Music And Its Relentless Quarter Tones. “Patience Is A Beautiful Thing” As They Say In Egypt. And Jérôme Ettinger Took His Time. Himself Being An Argûl Player A Rare Egyptian Double Clarinet He Learned To Play With The Famous Mostafa Abdel Aziz Musiciens Du Nil Mozart L’égyptien Peter Gabriel... . Accompanied From The Start By His Friend Ihab Radwan An Oud Player Who Worked With Hugues De Courson On Mozart L'égyptien Jérôme Ettinger Keeps His Project Alive Both On Stage And On The Album Where We Find The Participation Of The Oud Player. The Project Is Destined To Evolve With A Feminine Voice From Cairo As Well As Other Musicians Met Along The Way.-- read less
