    David Mitchell – Utopia

    David Mitchell – Utopia

    Quel plaisir d’accueillir à Marseille le surdoué des lettres britanniques, l’un des écrivains les plus originaux du moment, auteur d’une œuvre inclassable d’où surgissent des sortes de méta-romans qui naviguent entre les genres littéraires. David Mitchell est avec nous pour son dernier opus, qui réussit une fois de plus le pari de nous surprendre. Car ce n’est pas spontanément sur le terrain du rock et des Swinging Sixties que l’on attendait celui qui fut l’un des scénaristes du dernier Matrix, compagnon des Wachowski qui ont adapté au cinéma l’un de ses romans les plus célèbres, Cartographie des nuages (Cloud Atlas sur grand écran).

    Londres, 1967. Dans l’effervescence de la culture pop et de la minijupe, se crée Utopia Avenue, un improbable groupe de folk-rock psychédélique, « the most curious British band you’ve never heard of  », dont on va suivre l’ascension fulgurante (et bien sûr la chute calamiteuse). Managé par Levon Frankland, dont le chapeau en fourrure et les lunettes bleues le rangent d’emblée dans la case « queer beatnik », ce groupe fictif se compose de la chanteuse folk Elf Holloway, à l’évidence taraudée par sa sexualité ; du bassiste Dean Moss, empêtré dans un passé familial traumatique ; de Jasper de Zoet, dont le génie à la guitare est perturbé par des hallucinations auditives qui l’amèneront à fréquenter une étrange clinique ; et du batteur Griff, dont on ne sait pas grand chose…
    On plonge avec frénésie dans une ville où le sexe est partout, où le LSD circule librement dans les clubs et les studios, croisant avec jubilation Syd Barrett, Leonard Cohen, Francis Bacon ou Janis Joplin. Un vent de liberté souffle sur Londres, même si le père d’Elf lui rappelle que sa banque n’emploie pas de femmes mariées, et même si la propriétaire de Dean, qui l’a mis dehors, affiche sur la fenêtre un panneau indiquant qu’elle ne loue ni aux Noirs ni aux Irlandais…

    Un grand roman aux accents de biographie rock, comme une série d’albums composés de chansons qui vous trottent longtemps dans la tête…

    35 - Partir au travail en musique

    Bulle - quelques pensées baladeuses autour de The Byrds "Ballad of Easy Rider"

    Texte

    Ce matin tu songes à la fin de l’actuelle abondance et tu te demandes si avec les derniers litres d’essence, il ne faudrait pas laisser tout en plan et prendre la route à l’image de ces deux icones de ton adolescence. Et peut-être que l’histoire ne se répétera pas, qu’il n’y aura pas de fatalité à la transformation des utopies originelles de liberté en individualisme forcené, que du collectif viendra la solution, qu’on pourra ne pas confondre lumière et illumination, qu’on économisera Manson et Altamont. Tu te laisses porter par les arpèges légers, à la surface de l’onde fraiche, flottant sans entraves dans le courant. Tu luttes pour ne pas sortir de ce songe, pour retenir les dernières bribes d’images qui déjà s’effilochent, tu veux continuer à croire qu’un autre monde est possible.

    This morning you think about the end of the current abundance and you wonder if with the last litres of petrol, you shouldn't leave everything behind and take to the road like those two icons of your adolescence. And perhaps history will not repeat itself, that there will be no fatality to the transformation of the original utopias of freedom into mad individualism, that the solution will come from the collective, that we will not be able to confuse light and enlightenment, that we will save Manson and Altamont. You let yourself be carried along by the light arpeggios, on the surface of the fresh wave, floating unhindered in the current. You struggle not to get out of this dream, to hold on to the last bits of images that are already fraying, you want to continue to believe that another world is possible.

    Gone So Long

    Gone So Long
    Title Track of our new CD release: Walt Cronin & Martin Beal - Gone So Long Walt’s new CD: “ Gone So Long,” is Walt’s latest collaboration with friend and musician Martin Beal.“ Gone So Long,” is a batch of 12 songs that express a longing for all things past and hope for all things future. Written in Walt’s eclectic style covering Folk, Country and Americana with Rock overtones. Martin’s amazing array of musicality and arrangements combined with Walt’s lyrical strengths and songwriting skills have created a powerful and embracing album. As always, Walt’s lyrical phrasings evoke pictures and stories that stretch the imagination while grounding you in the human condition. His last CD: California I Gotta Run was listed in the top twenty country albums of 2010 by Any Major Dude With Half A Heart. It also peaked at # 2 on Roots / Americana Country Internet Airplay Chart in October of the same year. Released as an internet radio album, this new CD will be available on both terrestrial and internet medias. His first CD: “ The Gousters,” released in 2005 was a collaboration with Zander Schloss, an actor-musician who has also written with the late Joe Strummer and Scott Weiland. This was Walt’s late entry into the Los Angeles music scene at the tender age of 50. “The Gousters” remained in the top 50 on Roots Music Report Folk Chart for 60 weeks. His diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress from his stint as a medic in the Vietnam war prevents Walt from performing but his lyrical style is described here by Brenda Barbee, Staff Reviewer of Roots Music Report. “But there is a great deal more to their music than just great sound. Listen closely to the lyrics, for they reveal extraordinary songwriting talent. Within those lyrics is a rich experiential content that could only be produced by one who has strong emotional ties to the theme.” Though a late runner in the songwriting styles he emulates such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristoffersen and Emmy Lou Harris to name only a few, Walt has strengthened his gifts immeasurably on this, his 4th release with the combined efforts of his friend, producer, arranger and musician Martin Beal of The Racket Room in Santa Ana, CA. Songs conveying strong components of our hopes staying alive in troubled times along with his unique glimpses into human emotions and a poignant song of a loved one lost inevitably in our singular paths in life. Perhaps these songs can be listened to in the key of insight.
