From Dogs and Wolves - EP (Beating Drum, March, 2014)
4-track EP on available our shop: http://shop.beatingdrumrecords.com
or iTunes: http://smarturl.it/ofdogsitunes

'Wait by the Water' was recorded a few months ago at the theatre de l'Athénée in Paris with the gifted violinist Jasser Haj Youssef.
I wrote it after having finished Between Dogs and Wolves album with the live show in mind. I wanted to sing something that would work as a way of tuning ourselves into the right frequency in order to listen to quiet and intimate music.

Piers Faccini & Jasser Haj Youssef - Wait By The Water

Al Di Meola & Arto Tuncboyacian - Heru Mertar / Don't Go So Far Away

Ces 4 titres masterisés sont issus de l'album de Birds On A Wire, Rosemary Standley et Dom La Nena sortie le 31 mars 2014 chez Air Rytmo / L'Autre Distribution

C’est une histoire de rencontres. 
Celle d’abord d’une chanteuse, Rosemary Standley, et d’une productrice de spectacles, Madamelune, qui ont l’envie de monter un duo de reprises muni uniquement d’une voix et d’un instrument. 
Dom La Nena, toute jeune violoncelliste et chanteuse aux multiples talents rejoint alors la chanteuse de Moriarty. 
L'alchimie est immédiate : dès la première répétition domine l'impression qu'on a affaire là à deux sœurs qui auraient passé leur jeunesse à jouer de la musique dans la même chambre, le soir, à la lueur d'une lampe de chevet. 
Entre la franco-américaine et la brésilienne, les répertoires s’échangent et s’entrechoquent : classique, folk, traditionnel américain ou argentin ; en italien, anglais, réunionnais, espagnol, arabe. 
D’Henry Purcell à Tom Waits en passant par Stefano Landi, Violetta Parra ou encore Léonard Cohen, ces deux oiseaux sur un fil, ces deux  Birds on a wire sont prêtes pour une tournée d’une trentaine de dates. 

Ces miscellanées live doivent absolument être immortalisées, faire l’objet d’un recueil que l’on pourrait emporter avec soi. Le disque s’impose. 
Joueur, émouvant, délicat, fragile, dépouillé, rayonnant de grâce et de naturel, 
Birds on a wire qui sort chez Air Rytmo, label anagramme de Moriarty, est comme un album photo que l’on feuillette et alors les souvenirs reviennent :  on pleure avec All the World is Green de Tom Waits ou Oh My Love de John Lennon, on frisonne avec Blessed is the memory de Leonard Cohen, on rit sur Sambinha signé Dom La Nena, on hyperventile sur Arriba quemando el sol de Violetta Parra, on rêve éveillé sur Panis & Circenses de Caetano Veloso, on frémit sur le traditionnel Duerme Negrito, on ferme les yeux sur Solitude de Purcell. On repense à ces amours passées, envolées, regrettées ou pas. Car à travers les chansons réunies ici, Rosemary Standley et Dom La Nena ne chantent, ne parlent, (presque) que d'amour. D'amants éperdus dont les adresses, les demandes de grâce se perdent dans le vide. C'est ce vide que deux Inséparables nommées Rosemary et Dom viennent combler comme des oiseaux annonçant le printemps.

Argentinian twin sisters Laura et Gianna Caronni were born in a family of Swiss, Italian, Russian and Spanish origins, where the music of Opera and Tango intertwined. They studied classical music, moved to France in 1998, where they played with Argentinian musicians (Juan Cedron, Juan Carlos Cáceres...). The sisters’ music reflects all these musical influences and something more, intimate and personal, that only belongs to them.

Gianna et Laura Caronni sont deux soeurs jumelles d'origine argentine nées sous le signe du tango, ascendants candombé,  chacarera, milonga et musique classique. Leurs chansons, c’est la synthèse de tout cela, et tout autre chose à la fois, une nostalgie aux sons chauds et caressants du violoncelle et de la clarinette, et deux voix en parfaite harmonie.

LAS HERMANAS CARONNI Los ejes de mi carreta

Natalia Doco - Holy D

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me two beams of light, that when opened,
Can perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the sky above, her starry backdrop,
And from within the multitude 
The one that I love.


Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me an ear that, in all of its width
Records—night and day—crickets and canaries,
Hammers and turbines and bricks and storms,
And the tender voice of my beloved.


Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me sounds and the alphabet.
With them the words that I think and declare:
“Mother,” “Friend,” “Brother” and the light shining.
The route of the soul from which comes love.


Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me the ability to walk with my tired feet.
With them I have traversed cities and puddles
Valleys and deserts, mountains and plains
And your house, your street and your patio.


Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me a heart, that causes my frame to shudder.
When I see the fruit of the human brain,
When I see good so far from bad,
When I see within the clarity of your eyes…


Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me laughter and it gave me longing.
With them I distinguish happiness and pain—
The two materials from which my songs are formed, 
And your song, as well, which is the same song.
And everyone’s song, which is my very song. 

Mercedes Sosa- Gracias a la vida

5 track tribute to the talented singer Lhasa De Sela:

1) Live recording of Lhasa Del Sela as she sings Fairuz's adaptation of the poem by Khalil Gibran 'The Nay/ A´tini  Al-nay /  اعطني الناي

أعطني الناي وغني, فالغنا سر الوجود وأنين الناي يبقى, بعد أن يفنى الوجود هل إتخذت الغاب مثلي, منـزلاً دون القصور فتتبعت السواقي, وتسلقت الصخور هل تحممت بعطره, وتنشفت بنور وشربت الفجر خمراً, من كؤوس من أثير هل جلست العصر مثلي, بين جفنات العنب والعناقيد تدلت, كثريات الذهب هل فرشت العشب ليلاً, وتلحفت الفضاء زاهداً في ما سيأتي, ناسياً ما قد مضى أعطني الناي وغني, وانسى داء ودواء إنما الناس سطورٌ, كتبت لكن بماء 

Give me the Nay and sing, /The secret song of eternity. /The laments of the Nay will linger /Beyond the decline of existence.

Have you, like me, /Chosen the forest dwelling /Rather than the castle? /Have you followed the stream /And climbed the rocks? /Have you anointed your body /With fragrance distilled in light? /Have you been drunk with dawn /In the goblets full of pure air?

Have you, like me,/ Sat down at dusk,/ Among the glowing languor/ Of vines laden with grapes? /Have you lain down on the grass at night /And covered yourself with heavens, /Opening your heart to the future, /Forgetful of the past?

Give me the Nay and sing, /The song in tune with hearts. /The laments of the Nay will linger  /Beyond the fading of sins. Give me the Nay and sing, /Unmindful of troubles and cures. /For each man /Is nothing more than a watercolor sketch.

2) Bia Krieger con Lhasa de Sela in 2008 singing "Los hermanos" (A. Yupanqui)

3) Lhasa De Sela live on piano singing her own "I'm Going In" (Toronto, 2006)

4) Lhasa De Sela "La Confession," live acoustic recording from France during tour of Living Road album in 2003

5) Studio recording of her song "Where do you go" (2009, self-titled album).
