Ispahan

Ispahan – channeling the sounds of the old Orient

Melissa
I live in Asia Minor, and when I first heard the melancholy and mysterious strains of Christian "Kiane" Fromentin's Ispahan, my first thought was that this guy must be making music in my local area. I was surprised to find out that he's actually in France - he just has a very innate sense of what the region of the Near and Middle East sounds like, and a talent for evoking nostalgia... even for listeners who have never been to this part of the world.

Dazie Mae “Velvet Dress & Stockings” – jazz & blues the cabaret style

Marvin
Dazie Mae plays a form of ragtime jazz and blues mixed up in a French cabaret environment. Their full length album titled Velvet Dress and Stockings has a sexy and smoky feel spearheaded by the sultry lead vocalist Jeanne Jattiot. She reminds me of a jazzy version of Marianne Faithfull. The instrumental backing is almost perfect with snappy keyboards by Mathias Daval, guitars by Tom Lameche and bass by Serge Dejazz.

The Lionshare

Kademlia
The Lionshare is the debut feature from writer/director Josh Bernhard. Shot the independent, almost student way - with consumer video cameras, barely any lighting or audio equipment and friend actors on a close to nothing budget - its an engaging, young movie definitely worth a download. Relying on naturalistic dialog and a barebones aesthetic to match the bare honesty of its characters, The Lionshare is a personal look at life and love in an increasingly impersonal world.

…anabase* “Le bonheur flou Le bonheur flou” – so good, you won’t notice the language barrier

Melissa
People often ask me how many languages I speak, simply because my music collection holds so many international artists who don't sing in English. But to tell the truth, I don't require a song to be sung in a language I understand, in order for me to be able to connect with it. If you never thought you could get into music in any language other than English, I urge you to give Anabase's Le Bonheur Flou a try.
