Aerodon in violet, in gray and in blue.

Mercredi, mai 23rd, 2012

I like to give presents ! I even think I have a talent for that. I make donations with air. I make aerodons, aerodons of all the colors. I offer you three at once. One in violet, one in gray and one in blue.

  Catalogue professionnel de musique libre It is an echo of a meeting in the Quercy. A meeting with the notes and melodies from other cultures across the seas, oceans and mountains. Africa, Asia, East, Quercy, the diversity and richness of deep crosses, I invite you to listen to what that inspired me quietly and passionately. 
   
  Catalogue professionnel de musique libre It is the music, with my piano of BĂ©narès, to accompany and give more relief  to a slide show , bicycle ride, in a little place of countryside of the Entre-Deux-Mers. A pretty little place, full of mystery, crossed by an old railway, now converted into a cycle path. I invite you to surprising musical walk rhythmed gently.
 
  Catalogue professionnel de musique libre I always have much pleasure to listen to the Afro-Cuban, Brazilian musics, in all their variations and their fusions, that is to be it with jazz, rock and electro. In my turn I give you the result of this inspiration, in this track that softly go !

Am I a great musician ?

Samedi, mars 3rd, 2012

I asked this question to myself briefly, to answer to some facebookers friends who invited me to join a group whose the goal is to bring together great musicians.

Today, I want to answer it more in details, the question is important and the answer deserves better than some words.

- Would I be a great musician ?

Surely in a few years, even a few decades, I would be it if my growth is in conformity with the laws of biology, psychology and the humorology applied.

Yes, because little musician will become GREAT !

The same goes for musicians like fish, except to be forgotten or being swallowed by a pike, I should continue my growth for the greatest happiness of my family, my parents, my grandparents, my ancestors and future descendants and all those who in one way or another, will find some satisfaction to receive my audio, visual and literary creations.

All these products require time, patience, concentration, devolution and even uncontrast contraction. But the point of waste, like any good earthman, my resources are finite, then I can not allow to myself  wandering or dilettantism, just ECOLOGY.

It is very important, you will have guessed it, to keep a course, not to go off in search of adventure trotting or galloping.

Guard us of the Mississippi mermaids and the cyclops of the fame, often told me my old friend Ulysse  which I lost track in The Pelop on nose [1].

My course, my hope, friendly browsers , friendly siswers [2], I set them in all conscience of the difficulties (typhoons, hurricanes, Bermuda Triangle, typhus, scurvy, Barbarossa , giant squid, etc,…) that I will meet not on the road to Hell, my dear Chris, but on the road of the musicer [3] who I am.

This road, I plan it with this desire: ” to be my music and that my music is me “.

It is a beautiful formula, I accept it, and moreover, I believe well that it is of me, even if, William Shakespeare, me has it a little whispered into my ear one evening of Hamlet.

For your information, will know that William Shakespeare is not what one could call a great author, a great writer. William Shakespeare is a monument, a pyramid, which I say, a Pharaon of the writing. William” Kheops” Shakespeare here is his true identity when me, Jean Toba, I have fun writing.

But keep our minds and return to us, and especially to me, to say that, I seek to make of Jean Toba and that to make of Jean Toba, for Jean Toba, that takes a little more time, to want to make of Jean Rockba or Jean Toblues.
Of Jean Toba, I just start to make some.

But roaches our spirits and let us return to us, and especially with me, to say that, I seek to make of Jean Toba and that to make of Jean Toba, for Jean Toba, that takes a little more time, to want to make of Jean Rockba or Jean Toblues.

Of Jean Toba, I just start to make some.

As for the Rock and the Blues they are not missing remarkable representatives. I will not put in danger Fender & Gibson Limited Company while going to walk under other skies, to see other horizons. My old Korg synthesizer to be cutted to fire if the opposite were to happen.

Moreover,  it could not be otherwise.  I was destined one day or the other to make of Jean Toba.

Which rock band, even so liberal , could have agreed to venture on the paths of adaptations of Rolling Stones songs , mainly played with a bugle ?.

Fortunately, I have found none.  Perhaps,  one day, a balsamic rock band, oops sorry, a Balkanic one, will take it on this proposal ?

bugle

Do you know a great musician whose instrument of predilection was the bugle ?

No, of course.

The choice of the instrument to claim the title of great musician is paramount.

Who says great musician says great instrument. Therefore, the piano is the instrument that immediately, puts you in the best aptitudes to reach the status of great musician. I will make however, an exception for the conductor which without being a batman must absolutely know how to handle the baton !

To finish this old maxim of the Old Maxime speaking to the Old mother:  ” Meditate, Renee-Ann ! ” [4]


[1] The Peloponnese to view it, go to Greece.
[2] browsers and siswers equivalent to brothers and sisters.
[3] I have the worship of the music and I cultivate it making “grow” pieces of music under my greenhouse-studio.
[4] Of this maxim, Tino Rossi Tino rossi drew from it a very beautiful song which had a great success in its time, of course I want to speak about the song called Mediterranean.

L’improbable improvisation des limites jusqu’aux limites de l’improvisation.

Jeudi, février 9th, 2012

Autre titre  : Du “one shot” Ă  la composition.

Chacun improvise à sa manière …certains improvisant plus que d’autres.

Je m’interroge sur le sens Ă  donner Ă  ces affirmations : ” c’est le rĂ©sultat d’une improvisation ! “, ” J’ai improvisé  ! ” ,” C’était totalement improvisĂ© ! ”

Quand j’improvise quelque chose, cela peut être très structuré, voire même encore plus réfléchi qu’à l’accoutumée…

Parfois je peux être très concentré, parfois pas du tout, mais alors, pas du-tout-du-tout-du-tout et le résultat peut être bon à jeter, comme parfois, un instant magique, entrouvre une porte qui ne demandera qu’à être réouverte, en grand, un peu plus tard, à tête reposée.

Normal quand on perd la tĂŞte, y faut bien la retrouver, comme ses esprits, pour pouvoir la remettre Ă  sa place, sur ses Ă©paules, d’oĂą l’expression “Ă  tĂŞte reposĂ©e ” . VoilĂ  un exemple d’impro. littĂ©raire recorrigĂ© des fautes de frappe et d’orthographe. Je l’ai gardĂ© car je l’ai trouvĂ©e amusant.

Chez moi, la langue française n’est pas innée.

A ma naissance, j’ai criĂ©, non pas, Aline, pour qu’elle revienne , mon cher Christophe, mais j’ai criĂ© car je ne savais pas quoi dire d’autre. J’aurais prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© me prĂ©senter courtoisement en disant “Coucou ! c’est moi, que v’lĂ , c’est Jean T O B A ” au lieu de brailler , mais que voulez vous, c’était totalement improvisĂ©.

La prochaine fois, j’espère faire mieux, comme disent certains philosophes sportifs et même aussi des sportifs philosophes. Non, je ne citerai pas de noms de boxers, mes propos risqueraient d’être défigurées.

OĂą commence l’improvisation et oĂą finit-elle ?  LĂ  oĂą la raison s’achève, mon cher Jean-jacques Homme d’Or ¹  ?

Les plus grands improvisateurs vous diront que les meilleures improvisations sont celles qu’ils ont bien préparées,  après de longues heures d’une pratique assidue et régulière de leur instrument. C’est ce travail, cet entraînement qui leur apporte la connaissance et la maîtrise de l’instrument utilisé (piano, sitar, castagnettes, moule à gaufres, sextoy, raquette de tennis, etc. ,…) pour garantir la qualité de leur production.

Sans ce souci, nous sommes d’accord , n’omporte qui , peut improviser n’imorte q ³. Cette remarque pour vous faire toucher du doigtdoigtici, le lien entre qualité, recherche, traitement des déchets et improvisation.

Comme quoi on a beau faire ou faire le beau, beau dire ou dire “ahaha”, on finit toujours par revenir Ă  l’ECOLOGIE.

Peut-on se permettre de gaspiller des heures et des heures de musique improvisĂ©es, trop souvent, dans les plus mauvaises conditions, accroissant ainsi la production de CO2 et par la mĂŞme, le rĂ©chauffement climatique de notre si belle planète la terre pour qu’en fin de compte ², il ne reste qu’une infime petite lueur de vibration chatoyante qui soit prĂ©servĂ©e du “direct to trash” ?.

Cela vaut-il la peine d’être essayé ?

C’est à cette épineuse question, que chacun de nous, devra répondre en son âme et conscience , mesdames et messieurs les jurées…avant qu’il ne soit trop tard.

Dédramatisons tout de même ce drâme, et décaféïnons avec cette réflexion optimiste.

“MĂŞme les cactus peuvent ĂŞtre succulents , quand ils sont bien cuits et finement coupĂ©s” - Proverbe mexicain.

3 years or the age of music training before his own music…

Dimanche, janvier 8th, 2012

8 january 2009 – 8 january 2012

3 years ago, i were born on Jamendo (Wah, wah, wah, w…) . It was an important moment like any birth.

Painful ? I do not keep too many memories of it. Exciting ! Surely.

Well, today, I know that I met, not the woman of my life *, but a site and especially a community of people gathered for the best and to laugh at  the worst of the music shared internetly. Community of people of the music which travels from one end to another of our dear planet, the Earth. Beautiful are the travels which develop and distort the music and the musicians.

I, dear Doctor Sigworld Madnessof, I travelled a little bit to the country of Aragon and Psychoanalysis, and after 3 years of a long tour, I overtook, not the Cape of Good-Hope but the anal stage. A stage which does not relate to only the sportsmen and other charming supporters keen on scatological slogans like “to a shithouse the referee” or “which shit, this player”, etc,…

For information, I know that the great Freud liked, in his time, to attend these epic matches between the most famous football clubs of the city of Vienna…Some colleagues of the famous Doctor, the most daring, saw a connection with his discoveries, others greediest lean more to the Viennese pastries especially towards the bread with chocolate bar… Where goes to hide the inspiration all the same !

But let us return to my annals to me.

Indeed, after 3 years, so I go over the anal stage, and I prove it by making music only on Jamendo and not in my pants. It is what is called to make music correctly, to make “clean” music in other way.

But what about making his own music, you will me say ?

Well, I will answer by this implacable sentence of Mama Freud who would have repeated endlessly, in a tone of kindness to his little Sigmund: “Every stage in his time, and a time to each stage, little Sigmund darling!”

No wonder that with a such mother, it became the great man of psychoanalysis as we know.

It’s all about evolution of consciousness … in fact … .. and that takes… the time necessary or a certain time, as said another large thinker… I want to speak, of course, of this regretted Fernand Raynaud.

So, all my best washes, oups, best wishes for a year 2012 enchanted, in beauty (all especially for the darjeeling lovers) and full with a merry health.
