{"product_id":"dominique-a_vie-etrange_2024_wag","title":"VIE ETRANGE","description":"“It wasn't planned, but what was this year? After releasing two albums in 2018, \"Toute latitude\" and \"La fragilité,\" and touring for a year, I had imposed on myself a supposedly long period of self-isolation to recharge my creative batteries. Along the way, due to the virus, a generalized self-isolation was decreed in March 2020. Self-isolation on top of self-isolation, it was starting to be a lot…\nAs a backlash, I re-emerged from the woods, well beyond the then-regulated kilometer, via digital channels, with a cover of a band dear to my heart, \"L'éclaircie\" by Marc Seberg, a song whose message exhorting patience seemed appropriate to the circumstances. This cover having been well received, I followed up with an EP, \"Le silence ou tout comme,\" four electronic tracks composed and recorded on the fly, and sung with a hushed voice. The machine was launched, and then, how to stop it?\nThe desire for a slightly less confined song (not a coincidence, we had meanwhile left our homes…), and for more melodic songs carried by guitars returned to me; I recorded and mixed a new series of tracks, in the same domestic conditions as the cover and the 4-track, and with lyrics that, as for the EP and contrary to my old habits, were written immediately to the music. I had the feeling of thus keeping a kind of musical logbook of the period, and of how I perceived it, without the songs systematically referring to it.\nAll of this forming a whole, driven by the same method (improvising songs on simple melodic structures) and imbued with the uncertainties of the time. Hence these 10 tracks, \"Vie étrange,\" whose desire to keep a tangible trace called for a physical release, even if in limited edition. Not a \"new album,\" with the logistical upheaval that that would entail. But a record, yes.","brand":"Dominique A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55315790168408,"sku":null,"price":20201106.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3596973877567_b7f15802-7580-4b3e-a7c5-7d54839bf1af.jpg?v=1768331044","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/dominique-a_vie-etrange_2024_wag","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
