Lavomatik Session - Hugh Coltman - Sixteen
Hugh Coltman writes songs that make you remember that there was a time when Jazz was whistling under every roof.
It was a time when Louis Armstrong was singing "What A Wonderful World" and Judy Garland "Over The Rainbow".
I was very tired that night and I needed a break before going to the laundromat.
We had a beer, both had a beard, and learnt that both of our lifes were up to change.
We stopped by its apartment to pickup the ukulele guitar, and while I was waiting the radio passed one of Hugh's song.
We went to the laundromat, and Hugh sang Sixteen, in a very special duet version...

Lavomatik Session - Chad VanGaalen - Molten Light
I never edited a session so quickly... we shot last Wednesday, but the session was so amazing that I had to publish it as soon as possible so people could not miss him in Paris tonight, and England, Scotland, Ireland and Sweden in the coming days.
In an interview given to magazin Exclaim, Chad VanGaalen said how amazed he was of the power of mind and music working together, and how music was able to give life to any corner of your imagination, like a squid with a Zeus beard.
In this session, Zeus plays accordeon and Chad and its flying voice takes us to its mysterious land.
-----------------------------------------------
Je n'ai jamais aussi rapidement publié une Lavomatik Session. Nous avons tourné Mercredi, mais l'enregistrement était d'une telle beauté, que je devais la publier au plus vite pour que ceux qui auraient la chance de pouvoir le voir dans leur ville (à Paris ce soir!) ne puissent pas le manquer.
Pour décrire Chad VanGaalen, je reprendrais un autre webzine, blogue.bandeapart.fm:
Dans une entrevue accordée au magazine Exclaim dans sa livraison de septembre 2008, le musicien originaire de Calgary déclare son affection pour les possibilités qu'offre le subconscient dans le processus de création. « J'adore le fait que le musique et l'art peuvent devenir ce que l'on veut. C'est comme une fenêtre ouverte sur l'esprit. C'est complètement surréel, et j'ai peine à croire ce que les gens font avec ça. Voir son esprit subconscient prendre vie? C'est vraiment malade. Je peux mettre des choses en mouvement ? Je peux transformer une pieuvre en tête de Zeus barbu ? C'est sans fin les possibilités qui s'offrent à nous... »
Dans cette session, Zeus joue de l'accrodéon, et Chad nous emmène flotter dans son univers.

Lavomatik Session - Joan As Policewoman - Eternal Flame
I had met Joan Wasser before only on my CD player, listening for hours to Joan As Policewoman's first album Real Life. When I saw her live for the first time I was hit by the fact that she was one of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
What was so fantastic was how music seemed to fill her soul, hands, heart, voice and whole body.
Later I learnt how much it also filled her life... started piano at 6, violin at 8, played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, performed live and recorded on studio with Lou Reed, Dave Gahan, Anthony&TheJohnsons, Rufus Wainwright, Joseph Arthur and many others. In 1997, her boyfriend called Jeff Buckley drown accidentally in Memphis. She played with the Dambuilders, and formed Joan As Policewoman in 2005 releasing since then two great albums, "Real Life", and "To Survive".
This session was shot last June, on a warm and sunny lunch break near Maison de la Radio.
Joan was a bit mad at me because the guitar I brought had no strap and strings were strong as a bow.
The washing machine sounded like hell, and Joan played "Eternal Flame".
She is on tour (tonight in Brussel, tomorrow, November 19th in Paris, then Switzerland, Italy, UK, US,...) and if you're around you must not miss it.

Lavomatik Session - Marianne Dissard - Flashback
Marianne is french but she lives Tucson Arizona, so she plays beautiful ballads like people have done there for centuries, but she sings in french.
This one we present, like its guitarist Clay Koweek says at the end, "is about girls and boys, and both being soaking wet, and there is a season and there is a reason...".
Co-written and produced by Joey Burns from Calexico, the album is filled with glam songs warm like a lovers night in a Motel.
They are on tour now, in France, in Paris at la Fleche D'Or tonight, and then Nantes, Toulouse, Montpellier, before continuing to Italy, US, and Canada. They will be back in Europe in February/March with Francoiz Breut. All dates are here.

Lavomatik Session - I'm From Barcelona - Gunhild
Sometimes you think that it could be great to have a party with all of your friends, where friends from work could meet the one from childhood, from tennis, and from the year abroad in Spain. That's the kind of thought Emanuel Lundgren had when he founded I'm From Barcelona inviting all of his friends to join in. They ended up being 29, playing and singing joyful and funny songs that could be stuck in your head in 20 seconds ("Treehouse", "Glasses"). They released an EP "Sing" followed by the first album "Let Me Introduce My Friends", and toured all around the world. Two years later, they are all back with a new album, "Who Killed Harry Houdini?". Still universal but more intimate, the album have the same beauty on the nostalgic side. Eman came alone and sings the beautiful song "Gunhild" at the Lavomatik. He chose this song because "it needs noise in the background", which he definitely found! On the album version, it is a printer in the background. Here in Paris, it is the dryer rolling like crazy, cars honking, and the regular rumble of the washing machine.

Mariée Sioux - Flowers & Blood
Here is another session with Mariée Sioux. We shot the same evening as the Lavomatik Session in the little Laundromat in Montmartre. Not far from there, going up after les Abesses, I had seen the previous Week-End this antique shop full with church and railway station clocks. I thought that Mariée had an intemporal print in her songs and clocks would fit perfectly with the time maze she creates.
Big thanks to the Landlord of the shop Zut!, 5 rue de Ravignan, 75018 Paris.

Lavomatik Session - Spleen - Amour
Je ne trouvais pas de Laverie qui veuille nous accepter. Refus coups sur coups, et là soudain ce jeune patron de laverie qui nous acceuille bras ouverts, qui me dit qu'une laverie c'est la vie du quartier, que les gens sont contents de voir qu'il y a des choses biens qui s'y passent. Et Spleen ne va pas le décevoir. Les passants s'arrêtent, ceux qui étaient venus déposer leur linge restent, séduits par ce showman qui donne les yeux dans les yeux tout ce qu'il a au fond de lui.

Lavomatik Session - Kim - When The River Turns Around
If you ask for "who is Kim?", most people who know him will answer: "incredible guy, he made 17 albums and he's just 31 years old!".
17 albums, in maybe 15 years, this could sound good or not good.
But, in this case, I assure, it is good, and it's easy to check by yourself cause a bunch of songs are available on line on deezer and myspace (www.myspace.com/kimlive). Check Morning Promenade, Turn Me On, Because Of Sylvie, When the River Turns Around.
Kim is the talent of each rookie musician merged into one single guy. This boy is a secret jewel whose stone is from the family of a Jonathan Richman mineral.
Between Tender Forever and Beck with Polnareff sunglasses, Kim, on Lavomatik Session.
------------------------
On présente souvent Kim comme l'homme aux 17 albums à 31 ans. Cela pourrait être cool et pas cool. Et bien là c'est très bon.
Il suffit de le vérifier en écoutant ses albums et c'est facile car une partie sont en ligne sur Deezer et myspace/kimlive.
Kim c'est le talent de chaque musicien amateur cumulé en un seul bonhomme. Ce garçon est un joyau caché, et ce joyau est fait de la même Pierre que Jonathan Richman.
Entre Tender Forever et Beck, avec les lunettes de Polnareff, Kim, en Lavomatik Session.
