Chris Rea: Montreux Jazz Festival

2014 • 50 min

This English singer and guitarist is quite familiar with Montreux, having come four times but never in the past twelve years. After a decade of recording, it was the late 1980s that saw him earn popularity across Europe. He had been touring with a local group, Magdalene, replacing David Coverdale. Then he also quit Magdalene to record the album "Whatever Happened to Benny Santini?" in 1978. "Fool (If You Think It’s Over)" was a huge hit, nominated for the Grammy for song of the year. Rea’s European success was confirmed by "Auberge", and then "God’s Great Banana Skin" in 1992. In 2009, Rea had sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

Libertine X 6

2014 • 4 min • France

At the start of each new verse is added an overlay layer of the same offbeat images and sounds. It follows a result close to phasing, the technique developed by Steve Reich. Reich used tape recorders to repeat the same portion of sound with a time lag between the two parts, the classic cannon technique. In the canon, different voices interpret the same melodic line, but in a different way: this shift produces a superposition of melodies, that is to say, a counterpoint. Counterpoint is a discipline of musical writing whose object is the organized superposition of distinct melodic lines.
