Le Concert du (presque) Nouvel An

Recorded live at the Jeunesse Festival at the Theater Odeon in Vienna, Austria, over two days in October 2006.

990 - Sainkho Namtchylak et Evan Parker "Mars Songs"

[...]

To my knowledge this is the first time Evan Parker has recorded with a vocalist (both musicians appeared on a 1993 Leo double-CD, Synergetics / Phonomanie III, but performed together only briefly, and not in a duet setting). But don’t expect Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Evan Parker Songbook. Like Chick Corea, now Namtchylak sings, now she sobs. Not metaphorically, but really. Now she cries, growls, hums, chatters, chirps, and, yes, throat sings, producing a weird high tone in harmony with herself. Anyone expecting anything resembling conventional Western singing need not look into this one.

Yet it is a striking artistic statement. Parker’s playing is precise and empathetic. Namtchylak produces a huge array of sounds that intertwine with the sounds of Parker’s instrument to create a hypnotic tapestry. A thousand moods and emotions are evoked and transmuted. Parker is a paradox: he always sounds like himself, and to the casual listener might seem to be forever recycling a few formulas. And yet the intricacy of his attentiveness to whomever he is playing with, and his adaptibility, is on a level with the very greatest tenor and soprano players, even his mentor Coltrane. While Mars Song is not for those who cannot do without established song forms and traditional patterns of tension and release, it is an immensely rewarding musical document

965 - Sainkho Namtchylak "Aura 1 - Solo voice"

Aura is the first album by Tuvan singer Sainkho with Peter Kowald (Wuppertal, Germany, double bass), Vladimir Tarasov (Vilnius, Lithuania, drums) and Vladimir Volkov (St. Peterburg, Russia, double bass).

The album consists of three pieces:

I AURA solo vocal improvisation by Sainkho
II ADULT'S GAMES duo Sainkho Namtchylak and Peter Kowald
III INITIATION trio Sainkho Namtchylak, Vladimir Tarasov and Vladimir Volkov

Dedicated to my daughter

"may the aura surround you"

When the primal scream entered sound world of the universe it was the first man-made, artificial addendum. Music is the art of the intonated sense; the shout, the groan, the cry and the song were the aural quintessence of the spiritual world of human beings. The aura that personifies sound is transparent through timbre and tone, envelops and tightens the other side of sound, the space of meanings and feelings. Children's games, adult's games, god's games... You can be an idol or a god among the people, but how to make sense of the Divine Game? Just remember that this knowledge or awareness is Truth. Consonance or dissonance, free music, pop music, it's all searching and hunting for the Great Harmony. Listening to the pauses or the endings of music is the initiation into great harmony. As fullness is born into the emptiness of Universal Truth, Absolute Harmony is born into Silence. The three-dimensional illusion we call Life will never be perfect because it is made to beimperfect. It is only a school for feelings and the fantasy, designed to improve the hidden chords of thought. Art exists in order to develop the capacity of human beings to imagine. A hidden knowledge of life exists to serve your capacity to develop. Develop your imagination. Please dream. It's healthy.

Cela doit être la version russe (?) de cet alboume dont... je ne dirais rien.
Voilà.

Réellement, c'est une découverte de plus.
Le titre lisible est "ARZHAANA".

Cet alboume s'adresse aux mélomanes curieux.
Sainkho propose de superbes ballades, des rythmes tribaux, de l'électro, du jazz... un voyage peu banal.
Sainkho est une mutante.
Les 19 minutes (du voyage) de "Temple of Majtreja" sont une montagne. Une fois au sommet, qui aura envie de redescendre ? La beauté reste un mystère. S'en rapprocher nous éloigne.
