I am clearly at odds with timelines...
Take Noëtra's recordings, released with utter disregard for chronological order: a discographical puzzle!
Once again, my new CD 'Des Enfants', scheduled for release in september 2012, will compile two recording sessions with my Lapouge/Bopp/Paboeuf trio – both pre-'Temporäre'. The tracks were recorded in 2005 and 2007 in Kent (Carter)'s studio.
We hadn't rehearsed much before the sessions, maybe two or three times. We wanted to capture what we were doing at the time, in view of convincing tour managers to make us play... Unfortunately, nothing came of that!
As I listened to these tracks recently, I appreciated the urgency with which they were recorded, and the freshness that ensued. That's how it always should be.
