(Mint \/ New)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn album such as this obviously owes a lot to the atmosphere in which it was recorded, which we can imagine was magical. We know it took place in Fromentel, Normandy, in a farm converted into a studio by the producer Jacques Denjean, known for his work with Dionne Warwick or Françoise Hardy as well as having been a member of the Double Six. It was also at Fromentel, that Denjean would record two fantastic albums with Albert Marcoeur. When Emmanuelle Parrenin followed in his footsteps a year later she was in good company: the sound engineer at the studio was her partner and therefore uniquely capable (we imagine) of creating an adequate soundscape for her delicate universe. What is more, five years previously, Bruno Menny, the sound engineer partner, recorded his first and only album, but what an album: in electroacoustic terms we can hear things which make him appear as the spiritual son of his mentor Xenakis!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Maison Rose unique is exactly this fusion between the two conceptions of Emmanuelle Parrenin and Bruno Menny, creating a perfect marriage of tradition and experimentation. The tradition comes from the songs collected by Emmanuelle Parrenin in rural areas, in a similar vein to the work carried out by Alan Lomax and Shirley Collins. The experimentation is in the sound captured by Bruno Menny, who both arranged and recorded the album. This is not to forget those who came with their guitar (Denis Gasser), or their lyrics (no less a figure than Jean-Claude Vannier). On the one hand we have the humble and non-demonstrative singing, with melodies which remind us of songs we would sing to calm a child's nightmares, and on the other hand a pronounced rhythmic intensity at certain points, such as on \"Topaze\" where the drums in particular evoke the Motorik of Faust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA real haven of peace, Maison Rose is enchanting with its aura of mystery and spirituality, with soft, gentle songs which seem both ancestral and futurist. Originally published by Ballon Noir in 1977, this album follows on from other folk marvels such as Le Galant noyé from the pre-Mélusine period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the subject of Maison Rose, if we had to risk a few comparisons we would mention Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs, Joanna Newsom, Collie Ryan, Shirley Collins, Trees Community, Sourdeline and Véronique Chalot as those which spring spontaneously to mind. But this is too reductive for the timeless singularity of Emmanuelle Parrenin: because Maison Rose was recorded in 1977, in the midst of the punk revolution. \"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaison Rose\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA1 Ce Matin A Frémontel ... 2:49\u003cbr\u003eA2 Plume Blanche, Plume Noire 3:07\u003cbr\u003eA3 Liturgie 3:11\u003cbr\u003eA4 Thibault Et L'arbre D'or 4:03\u003cbr\u003eA5 Ritournelle 2:29\u003cbr\u003eA6 L'écharpe De Soie 1:57\u003cbr\u003eB1 Topaze 6:39\u003cbr\u003eB2 Belle Virginie 1:36\u003cbr\u003eB3 Ballade Avec Neptune 3:05\u003cbr\u003eB4 Maison Rose 2:33\u003cbr\u003eB5 Apres L'ondée 3:03\u003cbr\u003eB6 Le Rêve 1:43\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e17 Décembre \/ La Forêt Bleue \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC1 17 Décembre 3:25\u003cbr\u003eD1 La Forêt Bleue 5:40\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Emmanuelle Parrenin ‎– Maison Rose (1977)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7gmOyYhfoyM\" height=\"513\" width=\"912\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Night Flight Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57473462665598,"sku":"FFL024X","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/7755\/6791\/files\/IMG_1061_6635a57d-a77d-480f-9417-d4613cf75bb9.jpg?v=1779895179","url":"https:\/\/allnightflightrecords.com\/products\/emmanuelle-parrenin-maison-rose-17-decembre-la-foret-bleue-1","provider":"All Night Flight Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
