Show detail Hide detail

Sound recording of a conversation between members of the rock group Harmonium and Neil Chotem. The participants discuss their collaboration on the forthcoming Harmonium commercial recording project, eventually released as L'Heptade d'Harmonium, including their thoughts on the conception of the proposed album. Among the topics discussed are the underlying meaning of the compositions by Harmonium, how that meaning can be developed and expressed in the orchestral arrangements, possible approaches to the orchestral sections to be written by Chotem, and other music which may provide useful examples (including Chotem's ballet music, Pythagore de 1 à 7). The discussion pauses at times while participants provide musical examples and ideas on piano, guitar, and voice.~On one side of the recording, the conversation is preceded by an unrelated English-language popular song probably titled An Ordinary Guy. On the other side, the conversation is preceded by an unrelated and unidentified English-language popular song and by a guitarist practising chord changes with a metronome. <1h 2mn 50s>
